Holidays aren't what they used to be anymore. There is no excitement when you wake up in the morning, or the thrill of decorating before it comes. It just feels like another day in the year now. Last night, I dressed up like a football player and got all ready for this party at my friend Denise's house. Well, it ended up with us being the chaperones to everyone, while they listen to her brothers band play out in the backyard. I mean not that it wasn't fun to be there with my friend, but it just wasn't how I thought it was going to be. Then we went to my house and Marcia was here with her daughter Betta. That was cool until betta invited her 2 friends over, and it was kind of uncomfortable for both me and Denise. Later once they all left Denise called her mom to come over and hang for a while and we had a good time talking, so that was fun. So, I don't know, holidays were always something to look forward to, and not that they aren't now, with seeing family that you haven't seen in a while and just being together, but that excitement is gone for me. And, my mom keeps saying "oh it's just because you're getting older," but just because I am older why should all the thrill of each holiday dissappear?

ITS HALLOWEEN! it's not that big of a holiday in the first place...wait till thanksgiving, christmas and new years, those are the biggies...don't get down, get proud!
I remember that feeling. It became boring... but then as I had children the magic came back...
now.. don't go out and pop out a baby.... I am just saying.. the excitement is through a childs eye and an adults heart.
Nice comment Mary.
I love Holidays because they break up the routine of every day.
But like you say Amanda, it is different then when you are a kid.
Yeah, like Mary says having a kid brings it back.
ya its just not like it was when i was younger, i had this same feeling last year around the holidays. ya it is definitely through a childs eyes. i guess i will wait for thanksgiving to see all the kids running around haha.
