Thank you for prompting me to express my own truth publicly.
Everytime I go into my closet, I feel bad. The source: anti-trump shirt, Kamala shirt, stars & stripes, still hanging there. Now they are gone.
Likewise Christmas related decor is being gifted to Free Room or Habitat. Its very presence in my apt, has darkened my mood.
I have a collection of tiny glass birds from Biltmore Christmas Shoppe will keep for my Winter Solstice celebration December 21.
The rest: gone

I put out my ceramic trees in the kitchen. But I am honestly not sure I will do any more. If it weren't for the kids, I probably wouldn't do anything.
My mood is kind of foul today. I walked, that helped. I vistied my sis for a bit, ranted and vented to her. Bless her having me for a sister and my sometimes foul moods. When i get like this, I don't even want to be around me.
Lines from Home for the Holidays (one of my fav movies) express my current holiday mood:
"I'm giving thanks we don't have to go through this for another year. Except we do, because those bastards went and put Christmas right in the middle just to punish us."
Holiday stress on top of real life stress has me so scattered I can't focus long enough to form a coherent thought - just what the chaos makers want.
I realize that and I'm not letting them win that battle.
