Are you ready for the holiday season? Is everything shopped, shipped, and wrapped? Have you decorated, cooked, partied, and cleaned up? Are you traveled out, partied out, and fatigued-ly down for the count?
WAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!!.....Hold on, it’s not January yet. We’ve only just begun the holidays. So far, we’ve had the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend and Halloween. Next up, this week, is the American Thanksgiving family/food/football/shopping extravaganza. Then Chanukah, Christmas, and New Year’s.
Six weeks of go-go-go, high expectations, exhaustion, shopping, gatherings, more exhaustion, chronic illness, and an apparent no-end to the need to have fun, be merry, and to celebrate with an overabundance of, well, everything
