I'm a self-professed Christmas lover. I get a secret thrill when i see decorations go up in department stores in October, I plan my cookie trays months in advance, and (with a little difficulty) I do a full-out dance routine in my car when 'All I Want for Christmas is You' comes on the radio. SO, why is it that I've been so grumpy this year? I'm not exactly sure why... except that being an official adult takes it's toll some days, which isn't a very good reason.
I did, however, figure out how to make this disgruntled-ness disappear. On Sunday, My family was basically re-enacting the scene from 'National Lampoons Christmas Vacation' where we were driving home, tree strapped to car, and along comes an angry driver who promptly begins tailgating us and illiciting many an angry swear-word from my father. It dawned upon me then, that I must watch NLCV in it's entirety should I have any hope of awakening my inner Christmas spirit. Alas, it did just the trick. If you're having this same dilemma: do I choose to be happy or angsty for no apparent reason this holiday? watch NLCV and use the Griswold's as a reminder that you are not alone...
Without further ado...
