I would love to say that holidays are over, only they are not. I feel tired. And here I have Christmas tomorrow (when everybody around here threw away their trees and ate all turkeys two weeks ago); then my husband's birthday, then Old New Year...
I am so out of sync with the holiday season in Canada – sometimes it seems good, sometimes not so much... I don't enjoy holidays as much as before – may be I am just getting older? (Yeah, 27 years old pepperpot)
My not so good feelings:
1)that "out of sync" feeling
2)different ways to celebrate. Attempts to make everything like it is in Russia feel silly. Here is Canada, not Russia. People are different, traditions are different, mayonnaise is different. You try to make the same salad as always, it tastes different. No, salads do not bother me at all. But I miss New Year as it was before.
3)Explanations why I celebrate Christmas two weeks later than normal people. Sometimes It is fun, sometimes not. Depends.
4)There was something 4). Oh, well... May be, I'll remember later.

Good:
1)I can buy presents when shopping craziness is over.
2)I can celebrate Christmas because I feel like celebrating, not because it is a cultural "must".
3)I have two New Years (Chinese is not included)
4)No matter, where and how celebrated, New Year Eve still holds its magic for me. Wonderful things happen December 31 and January 1. hey, I met my husband on December 31!

So, here is my punch line: Merry Christmas, according to the Julian Calendar!
