The Morning After the Night Before: the Dull Day After Christmas

Last night we were eating, drinking and making merry.  The morning after is so much less fun.  December 26 is the day you begin to realize that the Grinch had a point.

There's that sink piled high with dirty dishes.  Then there's all those torn Christmas wrappings and boxes scattered around the living room.  My head doesn't feel quite right.  Will you turn off that Christmas tree?  The garishly bright lights are giving me a headache.  Where in hell is the aspirin?

I have lots of chores that I could do, but I don't want to do any.  Lots of resolutions to make for New Year's, but they can wait.

The good news is that they aren't showing continual reruns of "A Christmas Story" any more.

Yep, it's true:  December 26 is not my most favorite day of the year.

Burp.  Oh God, I think I have acid indigestion.

Bro,

We gave it up too, as far as spending tons of money. No credit card bills, we buy simple stuff for cash. Our tree is artificial and we use the same one every year. Wifey still makes a lot of food for her relatives, who have a big party every Christmas Eve.
