RogerDuke Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Does anybody else here get the post Christmas blues? I know I do. I just have a hard time accepting it when it's all over. I pretty much go the whole month of January missing Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I do. When Christmas finally gets here, I feel like it shouldn't be for another week. Then when it's over, it feels like it was over too quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i1976 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Mmmhhh, I don't know... I'm sad when everything's over... but I'm also glad when everything's over. I'm confused, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am always sad when Christmas is over...you wait anxiously for it to get here. Get everything done just right. Then it is here...and over with. Just like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I always end up singing Christmas songs in my head, even late into January because I just can't accept that it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm already starting to make progress in curing my post Christmas blues. I deleted the Christmas shows off the DVR (I have the best ones on VHS in case of emergencies) Also, my wife's starting to put stuff away and so far it hasn't bummed me out. I'm still celebrating though. Last night we were out and I was sure loving all the lights still out. Also, I'm listening to Christmas music (Elvis) as I type this. A friend of mine celebrates Russian Crhristmas so I asked to be invited over this weekend. He accepted but we were both joking since I wouldn't intrude on his family celebration. He knows how much I get the blues this time of year because he's a lot like me. Go ahead and say it......I'm so pathetic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You are not pathetic. It is always sad to see something you love (time of year) to get here and then be over with. I think you should celebrate for however long you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 You think you're bad. We usually have our tree (artificial) up well into February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck girl 01 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 To me it didn't feel like Christmas this year...especially since we didn't have have snow, well at least pretty snow for Christmas. There was some but it was just blah. Then Christmas eve came and it was dinner with the family at my Grandmas. It felt like Christmas when all the kids were opening presents, but it just seem to go by in a flash and I swear I blinked and the night was over. Then it was Christmas day and it just went by so quick...I keep thinking Christmas is still coming up...but it isn't...well it is...in 355ish days!! We still have our tree up...even though this year it is only about 2 and a half feet tall!! It was really cute..I will have to post a picture of it! lol There were a few years when I was just a wee lil squirt the tree stayed up for I think it was 4 years straight...No lie, we just really enjoyed having it up, and it was really pretty, so we never took it down. So I got the blues too!!I always end up singing Christmas songs in my headI actually started singing them out loud the other day when me, my little cousin, my mama and grandma were putting a puzzle together..I do believe it was The Little Drummer Boy and Jingle Bells...They looked at me like I was nuts...but then my Grandma started singing along... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks RG. I enjoyed your post. And I like your "signature" "Growing old is mandatory....growing up is optional'It reminds me of the saying "You're only young once but you can be immature forever."

Redneck girl 01 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 "You're only young once but you can be immature forever."Hahahahaha Roger, I like that…reminds me of me and all my friends….Just a quick note on my post before…Here is out little baby tree this year!! We kinda went Charlie Brown… 8)I thought he was cute! This is a picture off my phone so it isn’t very clear…And look…Mr. Moose (Yes I am aware this is a white tail deer and not a moose!) even gets in the Christmas spirit….Well actually this is at my grandma’s and this was a few years ago. She won’t let me decorate him anymore. Her cat loves to tear down Christmas decorations. Buddy (the cat) would have had a ball with this…And she didn’t want the deer coming off the wall! Buddy actually basically destroyed her tree this year (again). He knocked it over and broke a bunch of the ornaments while she was gone. Mama and I had to take the whole thing apart, redo, and redecorate it. But we somewhat reprettified….Here is a picture of it also!!Sadly I completely forgot to take a picture while it had all the presents under it...this was afterward!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDuke Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 LOL Thanks Garrett. There's nothing that cures a long term case of the post Christmas blues like another upcoming Christmas season. The annual HazzardNet Christmas party will be here before you know it!

Garrett Duke Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I am highly sad that Christmas is here and over already...New Year's tomorrow. And back to work on Monday. Yuck. I like my job...just not ready to get up to the stupid alarm at three fifteen in the morning again. Oh well. Don't worry about me...I'll be fine in seven more weeks when NASCAR starts back up again. Seven long weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
