Getting into the Christmas spirit..I mean wine, I'm getting into the wine.

How to render oneself homebound in one easy lesson; listen to everyone telling you to have just one more, stay out just a little longer because IT'S CHRISTMAS!! I hereby give permission to shout a resounding "NO" during this season of goodwill and the giving of spirit. Why are we expected to be happy and moreover why do we do ourselves in to put on a merry cheer this time of year? I'm really not in the mood, too exhausted and unwell, that surely is good enough...one would think given the joy of presence..oh wait, it's presents, isn't it? That's where I've got it all wrong, I'm not giving enough so I am persuaded to keep going until I do. I'll see you on the other side.
