Thanks @Angie @Lane !
How do you feel about the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's)? Over many years, I've found that the best time is the weeks and days leading up to the holiday. The actual holiday day tends to be more of a meh than a culmination. Even worse, the days afterwards mean everything is suddenly gone and it's back to the same old grind π
If the holidays are difficult for you, what strategies do you use to deal? I'm retired (more accurately, they retired me), so every day is a holiday of sorts, at least until I find another job, if that ever happens π
Do you have any positive memories of the holidays? Mainly from childhood, when I still believed Santa was real, even though he looked and felt like the next-door neighbor π
What would a good holiday season look like to you? Away from civilization at night, trekking overland to a starry winter sky and sparkling snow-covered pines (done that in the past and recall how starlight and snow make it seem almost as bright as day).
