Crunch Time

This year, it doesn't seem so much like Christmas time.  For the past few days, I've tried to put my finger on it, and it has eluded me until now.  Brace yourself, because this is one for the books.

It doesn't feel like Christmas time because I am not working.  I know that sounds crazy...insane actually, who the F wants to work at Christmas time, right?  Well, it's not so much the "work" part of it, it's the PEOPLE part of it.  The friends, strategically shopping at lunch time, talking about holiday plans, bitching about long drives to distant relatives, going to holiday parties and office potlucks (not that I'm a huge fan of the pot luck, but you get the idea)....

I'm not down or anything....I just don't feel Christmas like I normally do. 
I've got just a bit more than a week left to holiday my spirit the F up!

I think that's what they call crunch time.
