I've been feeling Grinchy this holiday season - not entirely out of the ordinary for me, but still! I have only bought gifts for myself (hello DS, I'm looking at you!) and my mom. The only reason that I even have a gift for my mom picked out is because I had a great idea this year! Which is completely out of the ordinary - usually the parents end up with some sort of gift card. This year, since mom is being so diligent about exercise, she is getting some exercise stuff - exercise ball, dumbbells, and exercise bands. Hooray! No, I'm not spoiling the surprise - I let mom pick out her gift(s)...I wanted her to get exactly what she wanted. :)
We haven't put up a tree this year either (probably part of the Grinchy-ness), definitely don't need a kitten trying to climb the tree! Minny is so naughty and tries to climb everything, so we figured it would be better to not even try to have a tree.
Also, since both nieces are non-believers (second year now), it sort of takes away the "magic" of Christmas. :( This makes no sense to me though, since last year I was filled with the Christmas spirit! Totally weird, since this happened...but maybe I just needed a diversion.
p.s. It's really cold and dreary today - not supposed to be like this here! Definitely not helping the attitude/Christmas spirit either... I want my nice weather back, or at least some sunshine.

Must be genetic! I feel the same way. Turkey still believes in Santa (probably the last year even though I have said that for the last 3 now:)) so we had no choice to put up the tree. We just did that today:) Hope the attitude changes soon!
