For some reason, during the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Sugar-Plum-Pumpkin Day,...I always get testy, edgy, and snappish. Don't really know why, just do. I can go from "0 to asshole", in 2.3 seconds. Happens every major holiday.
I have been on my usual ranting and grumbling the last couple days. Dudette finally, and firmly, planted both feet in my nose and told me to get over it. I'm OK now. Don't know why, just am.
I know, a lot of studies would say it's the stress of holidays. But I've been like this for as long as a I can remember. About a week before a major holiday and it hits. Couple days of being a jerk and, like turning on a light, I'm over it. Then things mellow out.
Yeah, I am the same way, only I don't get over it until January 2.

it stems from my 'expectations' theory...merry music for four weeks straight...shopping lists for gifts to 'make' merry people...so much is expected that i often balance it out by grinching about...but i good kick in my soul usually switches my gears...a blip of merriness will sneak out...one more month...
