The most melancholy time of the year?




Yes the changes in familial situations is finally hitting me this year. Each year prior we tried to figure out how to juggle visiting and the kids (even when they're adults they're still kids) and Mom and this year we literally have no agenda - no need to juggle. It will be just Jon, Mom, and myself. For any gifts we will probably do online and mail (ever so much easier) or $$$ (Robert's rather logical request).


The holidays have always been about family from the first time I spend Thanksgiving eve with Grandma doing the prep for the next day to even last year when I planned around a neighbor and son + girlfriend. It has always been controlled chaos. This year it appears to be organized.


That is probably the most unnerving aspect - Thanksgiving will be organized.


The shopping was disorganized though ... I guess that's a plus? heh

Oh well, Christmas is just around the corner, plenty of scope for being disorganised there :)

LOL this is true.

Disorganization - thy name is Holiday.
