10 Signs the Holidays are Over

The holidays are over

When the holidays are over…

  1. The holiday decorations in your home that looked so festive a few days ago now look tired and beyond ready to be put in storage.
  2. You keep thinking of all the things you should have asked for as gifts, but it’s too late. Dang it!
  3. Your kids are asking you how many days are left until next Christmas.
  4. The streets are littered with fallen Christmas trees.
  5. You are sick of candy canes.
  6. The gyms are crazy full with resolutionists who have yet to lose their resolve.
  7. If you hear ho, ho, ho, you know it’s in reference to three hoochies on the corner.
  8. Threatening your kids with “Santa Claus is watching” doesn’t do a damn thing, so you have to switch to threatening to take their holiday haul away.
  9. You think that it was great to spend time with extended family, but feel a sense of relief about going back to your normal routine.
  10. The thought of one more glass of egg nog or rompope makes you want to hurl.

    Ha ha! Great list! #1 is why the night of Christmas or, at the latest, the next morning everything comes down. I love it, but after a month or more I’ve had enough of the clutter!
    Hope your holidays were wonderful! Happy New Year!
