I keep telling myself that tomorrow is just another day.
I have managed to arrive on Xmas Eve with only 1 Christmas card received, and no gifts from anyone except me (thank God I got myself something!).
Now, I sent out some cards, and sent gifts to my sisters, all of my nieces and nephews. Just like I'm supposed to. Did nice little things for people along the way. I got of Starbucks gift cards and gave then to retail/service folks who looked like they were having a bad time of the season. Made a special trip into work with fresh coffee beans and made lattes in one department. And, I offered to work on Xmas last minute, freeing up a co-worker to spend time with her family. Hell, at least I'll make money.
The only thing I'm getting back this season is a little bit good feelings for doing what's right, and the new DVD player I've been wanting.
Repeat after me: It's just another day. It's just another day.
