Sorry I haven't written in a while, but I've had fairly little to write about. Unless you count being cold, cold, cold after our furnace went out and the subsequent replacement of said furnace. Not really interesting stuff.
I was talking to my mother yesterday, and she has about a gazillion activities planned for the next couple of weeks. Me? I don't have a one. Nor am I upset about that--I just can't seem to get into the holiday spirit this year. (I think it was the whole furnace problem that really put a damper on things, and maybe feeling down for US Thanksgiving started it.)
At any rate, we haven't decorated, not at all. We haven't put the tree up or made our library-turned-ritual-room seasonally appropriate or put the wreaths up. We certainly haven't put up holiday lights. Even our altar sits bare and unadorned. And with every day that passes, the very idea of doing any of it grows more futile.
We're playing with the idea of camping for Yule. I'm really wondering about it after being cold all last week, but DH is really excited by the notion. If we do, it means we won't have not-decorated the house in vain--we won't be here to have enjoyed the decorations anyway!
That thought actually does cheer me!
