On Post-Holiday Blues


Until Next Year.

While the majority of folks dutifully take down their holiday cheer within 24-hours of New Year's Day, the exceptional few (of us) hold out for as long as possible.  Dried out pine needles scatter across the already-dusty hardwood floors creating (un)necessary daily sweeping rituals. Greeting cards from loved ones maintain annual (2012) summaries of other people's lives. And leftover Hanukah gelt interrupts renewed vows to get back in shape. But the wait is worthwhile, as ornaments of previous memories glimmer beneath the tired Christmas lights, reminding us of all the new memories waiting to be made on the (365-day) horizon.  (Happy New Year and) Enjoy!
