Sad Day.

Confession 3; The day after Christmas is so depressing you know. Everyone does so much to prepare and then its like a huge let down within twenty four hours. Buying presents, visiting family, putting up trees and lights and pasting all those "once a year" smiles on their faces. Everything is twice as busy and twice as happy. People are laughing and loving so much more than any time of the year. All the kids are excited and everyone has something special to look forward to. Christmas Eve comes and everyone is anxious and overjoyed. That night all the kids are snuggled into their beds being told stories of Santa Claus and reindeer and fall asleep with smiles on their faces waiting for morning. Then Christmas morning comes and homes are filled with tons of colorful wrapping paper flung all over living rooms and sleepy eyes pulling apart boxes and beaming with excitement. During Christmas dinner families pass around love on top of delicious varieties of food that are only special on Christmas. Everyone is tinkering with their new toys all day long and by Christmas night exhaustion finally sets in of the past month's festivities and preparations. We all sleep soundly and wake the next morning to a day like any other ordinary day. Walmart's all across the nation are full of returned items and unhappy people. Restaurants are dead and unexciting and sleep is the only thing on anyone's mind. Me, I wish it could be the day before Christmas all year long.
