This Holiday Spirit sure is a bossy one, isn’t she?
She storms in on Black Friday, demanding and shouting orders.
First, she does a number on your pocket book.
“Buy this. Buy that.”
Then, she has a thing or two to say about your home décor.
“More lights! More tinsel! More garland.…And, I don’t care if it’s your house, the electronic LED Santa is going over there!”
She monopolizes your social calendar.
“The office holiday party is this Friday, Breakfast with Santa is next Saturday….and don’t forget caroling with my mother tonight!!”
She prods you with guilt…
“You’re really going to just walk right past that Salvation Army guy?”
Takes over your kitchen…
“Out. I’m making Granny’s secret fruitcake recipe.”
Critiques your mood…..
“My, my….someone’s feeling a little Grinchy this morning!”
Piles on the homework…
“How are those Christmas cards coming?”
And, just when you’re ready to snap….Just when you’re about to wring her jolly, little neck….
She says the same thing…
“But, it’s Christmas!!”
Then, we nod our head in agreement, sob in our eggnog, and hop back on that holiday treadmill.
Sigh.
Don’t worry. Baby New Year is coming.
Hear he’s a real bundle of laughs.
New Year’s Resolutions, anyone?

Great post! And oh so true!
Crazy times are around all of us. New Years what?? I hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe Christmas..
Adorable post! She's a bossy one for sure! No New Year's Resolutions. I feel like I have one personal piece of business hanging out there, but don't see a resolution in the near future.
What are your resolutions?
I just love your creative little spin on things. You always make me smile! :D
So if my husband is the diva....do I say DivO?
:)
My new year's resolution is to let someone else do everything next year! ;)
Well, you summed up the holidays quite well here! Too funny:)
Man...that chick is DEMANDING...and as for New Year's Resolutions? NO WAY...too soon...my s-l-o-w brain cannot handle the pressure! OY!
Sounds like my SIL, except there is no agreement;) I am looking forward to the new year. I hope 2010 is nice to us cuz 2009 sucked beans:p
Resolutions? Same ole ones.
LOL You sure have a way with getting to the truth of a situation! Loved it.
My New Year's resolution is to make 2010 the best year ever.
LOL!! The Salvation Army gets me every time!! I didn't have any change to park downtown the other day because I had felt so guilty I had to keep shoveling it out.
New Year's "Goals" - I need to think about that one! We always have a few financial and a few personal in there.
That bitch really gets around, doesn't she?
Merry Christmas!
The holidays can be a blessing for us but they are SO VERY busy!!!
