Trim the tree

This year we purchased a real tree on which we hung a massive number of ornaments that we have accumulated over the years.  It is a family tradition for the D, B, J and me to decorate the tree together.  However, I have never experienced a year where I was lucky enough experience a happy mood concurrent with our adornment festivities.  This year was no different but at least I was not in a bad mood.  I have to wonder if I did not experience some event in my childhood that causes me to struggle with my mood during the holiday season.  I seem to have an especially difficult time decorating the tree and I can't think of any good reason why.

I have been writing bits and pieces of my screenplay.  Coincidentally, D and I had breakfast Friday at the exact restaurant I was thinking of when I imagined meeting the fictional object of my desire.  I actually looked into the kitchen a few times to see if there might be a woman  that resembled my character.

This is a hard time of year for a lot of people.

It's the darkest time of year, we are put upon to be happy whether we are or not and there is a lot of stress involved with Christmas.

Add an event and geez....
