This time of year is for napping!

Now that we have all stuffed ourselves with too-sweet treats, overindulged in spirits, and fought with our relatives, it’s time for a full-on recovery. This involves a lot of sleeping. And by a lot, I mean like 16 hours per day.  And that doesn’t include the lounging around in one’s pjs.  And by pjs, I mean whatever you happen to fall asleep in.  This is the result of the power of eggnog before bed.

We are too lethargic to return to the mall with unwanted gifts that don’t fit or that we already had. So they sit in a pile in our dining room with our unpacked suitcases.  (I have a relative who actually regifts you back gifts that you gave to them in prior years. Unsure whether or not this is intentional).  This fog between Christmas and New Years is pretty universal from what I can gather: no one has been posting on Facebook.  But perhaps, if I didn’t check it every 12 minutes, there might appear to be more activity.  Perhaps if I had more than 71 friends, I would also have more FB traffic.

For those of us who went away for a few days and are sick of restaurant food, we are stuck in a catch-22 of poor nutrition. All of those cheesesteaks and fries are rendering us too sluggish to shop or cook for anything healthy.  So it’s frozen meals and canned soups with saltines.  This is akin to being home sick.  I love the holidays!
