I'm depressed. This is my least favorite time of year. Against my better judgment, I love the holidays. The lights, the presents, the vacation days; in particular, that out-of-time week between Christmas and New Year's. I'm half-Catholic/half-Jewish, so this year was particularly acute, what with Chanukah falling where it did. I even made latkes and served them to friends next to my tree.
So. January. Christmas-tree carcasses and rain and work and nothing in sight till Memorial Day, the beginning of summer. I'm a calendar girl, I'll admit it. As much as I try to live life in the moment, I can't help but let seasons and holidays be markers for my happiness.
Am I supposed to be writing about music? I just can't do it. For that we have Alex and epic comments about Sly Stone and James' birth-year (1978) songs (my 1985 post to follow). But that's all very 2005. For now we have me in my mood, post holiday, post transit strike, post post, post post post. It's January, friends. I need you to tell me what to look forward to.
(This is already in the past for me so it doesn't count, but if you haven't read Papa John by John Phillips, run don't walk.)Labels: holidays, joanna
