I’m with you on the holidays. I’m going for Thanksgiving with some very loved relatives. Deep in my heart I would rather be home with my dogs. Christmas I have managed to escape, somewhat. I give gifts but try to ignore the other festivities. Now I feel as though the glorious months of November and December have been submerged by too much, too much. I do remember all the holidays when I had the spirit. 😇😉
