Whiny Wednesday: Holiday Blues

December 11, 2013

Whiny_WednesdayMr. Fab and I had a lovely quiet Thanksgiving, just the two of us.

We watched Home for the Holidays as a reminder of what’s good about not having to do the “family thing.”

But now we’ve turned the corner into December and I’m feeling my first pangs of the holiday blues. There are so many things that I wish were part of my festive season, like hand-delivering gifts to my family, shopping for small children, and having the kind of Christmas I had as a child.

But, I’m taking my own advice. I’m focusing on the good stuff, making plans to do festive activities, and creating new traditions suitable for a family of two.

But, boy, it’s not always easy is it?

It’s Whiny Wednesday. What are you struggling with today?
