Christmas is over.
Plates of goodies left on the porch by neighbors, over.
Running to Target for the 15th time for that "last thing I have to get", over.
Eating cookies by the dozen without guilt because it's Christmas, over.
Trying to wrap every time my kids leave the house, over.
Keeping a stash of dollar bills in my purse for the Salvation Army bucket, over.
Listening to Andre sing to the tune of Joy to the World, 'Joy to the world, Bawney's dead! We chopped off his head! Don't wowrry 'bout the body. We fwushed it down the poddy. And wound and wound it goes! And wound and wound it goes! And WOUND and WOUND and wound it goes!', over. Finally.
I haven't heard that one! My boys have many "non traditional" Christmas songs but that's not one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt always seems weird to me to be on the other side of Christmas. Months of planning and preparing and then, just like that, it's over.
I hear ya sista. It's always nice to have life get back to normal again.
ReplyDeleteSigh. You said it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSo funny!
ReplyDeleteNoah is still singing Jingle Bells.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I guess I should take down all my Christmas decorations. But I do so like the little lights all over the house.
