...and I just don't have the energy this year to get involved.
All the planning and plotting and scheming...I just can't seem to get properly engaged in the frame of mind needed to undertake a task of this magnitude.
Of course, it's Monday...and I can never seem to get motivated about anything on Mondays.
Except it's payday.
That will at least get me as far as going to work.
May not motivate me to do anything after I get there, but...

I don't try to stop it...I just let it happen. I do what I can to prepare, but try not to sweat if things aren't perfect or the way id like them to be.

I wish they'd move either Christmas or Thanksgiving...having 2 major family get-togethers in a one month period, basically, is too much.

@JolietJake maybe we could have Christmas in February? But then it would interfere with Valentine's Day.

@Morleyhunt Only families in Kentucky and Arkansas get together for Valentine's Day.

@Madshadi Even a 'day off' often means I have to go deal with a problem at one of the rental houses Boss owns.

So of course, I started ignoring my bank balance Saturday since I knew I would 'replenish' it today before I get hit with any overdraw fees

The only good thing about Christmas is it falls on a payday Monday, which means I'll get paid the Friday before it

time really flies. I haven't put up our Christmas tree yet. Though I am already almost done with my xmas shopping , I haven't wrapped them yet. Too many things to do with very little time

I sometimes wish I got a salary. It would simplify things a bit.

@JolietJake For me, it is great. My day starts and ends at the bell as my husband likes to say. After doing it for so many years, I don't need to prepare any longer. All of my grading, lesson plans, etc. get done while I'm at work. I don't bring anything home EVER. My husband, on the other hand, is salaried and he works long hours plus commuting to and from PA each day.

Just don't make any plans for Christmas 2018, I'm pretty sure I'll have stopped it by then

You can't stop Christmas this year, you don't want to... And it's all someone's fault for being so super nice to you.
I hope you have a good day. =)
