What is it about Christmas Day? Why do I have so many emotions on this particular day? I had a happy childhood and a good life. I was never neglected or abused. I love Christmas - the rituals, giving and receiving gifts, the cooking and the eating. I even re-watch old Christmas movies every year (and I rarely watch any other repeat). I like the religious, social, and culture aspects and look forward to the holiday every year. I have even eventually learned not to over-extend myself.
Yet.... on Christmas Day, I find myself just about losing it when an impromptu choir began carolling at an extended care home where I was picking up a lunch guest.
It got even worse when I arrived home and found my children had arrived. (And, I see all of them regularly!) The whole day was an emotional roller coaster.
I can't pin it all on short days and lack of sunlight!
It might be your way of being grateful for your life and fearing when will the other shoe drop.

Thank you! Good word - grammology.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I just avoid seeing everyone, including my family, and wait for it to pass.
