Winding up

I still remember when it was October this year. I was putting out my holiday crockeries during that time. Friends who know me close enough will vouch for it. I like to start the holiday season in the month of October, so I get plenty of holiday time. My ritual of putting out the holiday cups and plates started a couple of years ago, just to get in the spirits of holidays. I then put it out in November for
ThanksGiving but it all seemed to end too soon with Christmas tailgating ThanksGiving. So I decided to start the ritual in October to give me more holiday time.

Holiday time seems to wrap up too soon. Yesterday seemed like ThanksGiving but now Christmas is over with less than a week left for New Years'. This is the time when I start feeling bad that its all coming to an end. But it all has to end and the normal course of life will soon resume. I am pretty sure, I will be waiting for all this to happen again next year. My level of anticipation will go up once July arrives. I hate it when good and fun time ends. But my friend would say "It has to end, for it to start again."

I just hope that the new year would bring laughter and happiness to me as I am a person who is always smiling, no matter what. This year had its own ups and downs and I just hope that the new year will show me more ups than downs. I hope to achieve what I want in the coming year and that the new year will help me discover who I am. There is no turning back, so bring it on!!
