This is how I feel too George.
Its all starting to get to me a little bit now.
The timing for the holiday is a very delicate thing. You start too early, and you're burned out by the time it actually gets here. You start too late, and you're stressed at the last minute. I think I miscalculated this year by a few days, because today, officially, I would like to be done.
I had to go out and do a few things, and was visually assaulted by way too many bad Christmas sweaters and hats and even earrings. I know, I know, I do the 'crafty' thing and should be into appliqued holiday attire (or at least "get it") and I sort of do, in theory, but also, it makes my eyes hurt.
I was wearing a lot of black and my Ralph Lauren red plaid scarf. A man wearing a nice black wool overcoat and smoking a pipe passed by me, and we kind of looked at each other like we each recognized a kindred spirit, then the moment was gone, and the sea of tackiness engulfed us both.
Aren't I fun? But really, everyone have a merry jolly happy whatever. I may not check back in until after its all over. I will leave you with this bit of holiday cheer~
Happy Festivus!

No, I understand. I remember one year my boyfriend and I got all dressed up for a Christmas party, only to be greeted at the door by a woman in a Christmas-y cow adorned sweatshirt. And that was pretty much the dress code for the evening. I feel your pain.
