Hermitization

In the words of one of my favorite blog writers (Crazy Aunt Purl) I would like to hermitize myself until after the holidays are over and done with. I have no desire to be merry or to tell other people to be merry. I have no desire to see people, talk to people, or even stand near people. I have absolutely no Christmas spirit this year, just bitterness because I have not finished my shopping because there is not enough time to breath deeply let alone buy gifts.

It will certainly be a small Christmas this year. My nana died a few weeks ago and my mom and I just don't want to deal with all the hooblah this year. We have a small (table size) Christmas tree as our only decoration and only a handful of presents under it. If I have to go to one more store I will be forced to scream and no one will want to be around me anyways.

Hermitization seems to be the only option this year. I want to find a nice cozy little shack where I can knit whatever I want without having to worry about holiday deadlines....maybe something for myself? That would be something new! =).....I would have a little fireplace and a cup of green tea (I have actually started to like the stuff!) and Mickey's Christmas Carol to watch while I knit something soft and squishy for myself. If it was a perfect world Robert Gerard would be there for a cuddle after. (I know hermitization means to be by yourself, but come on! He is adorable and snuggly!) Yes, that is what I want for Christmas Santa! Let me know when you find me such a place!
