Call me jaded, negative, pragmatic, or whatever. I just find that the end of the year holidays have been losing their meaning since a few years (decades?) ago. I just use these two weeks of Christmas and New Year as a chance to rest, recharge, and do stuff I normally don't enjoy -- going to social events.
My social battery is usually empty by the time work starts again in the first week of January. The good thing is I'm also relatively recharged and ready to tackle work life again, at least for a few months.
If this sounds sad or depressing, I guess it has something to do with how I think and my perspective in life. I do enjoy the memories I make with my loved ones and in-laws but at the back of my head I still think about the things that do cause me worry. Real life stuff.
Perhaps I should consider worrying less, but that's something I have no idea how to do. I would rather anticipate potential life problems so I can either prevent them or be ready for them.
And this blog post makes it six for December.
Happy holidays, happy new year.
Out.
