Git Rid'a It!

Just pathetic, right?!?!? I mean, its almost Valentine's Day people!

I know this may come as a surprise to many of you (the vast majority of you, I hope!), but there are actually some people who STILL have not put away all of their holiday do-dahs. Yes it's true... disturbing, but true, now let us pray. Well, though this may not apply to most of us (again, the VAST majority of us, I hope!!!), for what its worth I thought that I should take a moment to encourage you to again embrace this new year and all of the promise that it holds! Seize the day by letting some of that old holiday crap go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said it, I believe it, I did it and it's time you did too! You see, while helping a friend put away alla the little bits of Christmas pasts that they'd collected over the years I couldn't help saying, 'gurl, you do know the majority of this stuff is crap, right?". And it was! Just crap! Stuffed animals and Santas, weather abused wreaths, strands of lights that didn't work, stockings for pets who are, uh, no longer with us... I was surrounded by Christmas CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, after a desperately needed, come-to-Jesus-chat bout how you dont need to save every little thing that is given to you and how the holidays are supposed to be about giving away not hoarding to oneself, my friend relinquished much of the holiday hoopla and joined the rest of us less encumbered souls, ready to embrace this year and all that it had to offer- cuz now they have the space to hold some stuff, ha! Now, back to you alls, again for the few who are still harboring the skeleton of their Christmas tree and having the nerve to turn on its lights at night (as if that makes it less than ludicrous!), I encourage you, no I implore you to give it up, give in, and go through the process of separating the good from the bad, lightening the load and packing it all away. Really folks, it's time.
