Ah, the beauty of living 2000 miles away from family. ;) We might go to Vegas for New Year's. Of course, the down-side is that I have to do my shopping early, so I can ship things. Bleh. Shawn wants to make pottery for everybody. Seems too cheap to me. We have our own wheel and kiln, so we are self-contained though! Our first glaze fire came out gorgeous.
It's partly the winter blahs, and partly the stress of having to find the "perfect" gift for somebody who always seems to give us cool stuff, and the general busy-ness of the whole thing. It's kind of cool, but kind of a pain in the butt. Generally, I have the energy to keep up, but I hate the whole commercial aspect. Maybe next year we'll do what a friend of ours does- gives the money he'd spend on presents to charity. Don't give me any gifts, just donate to charity. He sends out cards, which is something I haven't managed to do in years.
I got to find some way to get through these seasons. But, on the bright side, I'm a Sagittarius, and I'm not sure it's possible for us to be permanently depressed.
