RITUALS???


I love the holidays. We look forward to the first snow fall and fantasize about that wintery wonderland Christmas. After Thanksgiving I anxiously put up all the decorations in eager anticipation of joy and good will. By the time we reach New Years I am more than ready after disillusionment and let down. When will we learn not to count on fantasy of the PERFECT life during the holidays?
My ritual every New Years eve is to take all the decorations down so that I can once again anxiously await a new year with a new beginning and brace myself for the dull drums of the winter without lights and festivities and face the realities.
