On midnight at Christmas I watched the "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with my boyfriend of 2.5 years. It was endearing to watch it again. Although it did seem a lot shorter than I remember. I must have gotten a shortened version of the thing. The part where Sally was dictating her letter to Santa seemed longer in my memory. So naturally Charlie Brown fell flat for me this year as did many other things this Holiday season. I didn't care about what I got(and I did really clean up this year). There seemed to be a lack of Christmas cheer my way. With my family, friends. Everyone just seemed to let the days pass by without the warmth there. Where is the heart in it all? My mom says Christmas is a kid's holiday and for a while I agreed. She dreads this time because of the inevitable party planning that needs to happen and all the physical work that goes into it. This might very well be the last year for Christmas at the Mangru Household. I'm not sure what's left for tradition besides the mass batch of fruitcake that my Mom and I bake.
I'm grasping for some amount of togetherness that seems to be nonexistent. I totally feel like a Charlie Brown this year.
Good Grief.
