Retreat to normality

Let’s retreat from this madness

the belief that everything’s fun

the falseness of enjoying

of what Christmas has become

✨

For some it is sadness

for some it is pain

for some it is expectations

that they never gain

✨

For me it’s now over

the start of a new year

away from the madness

and false Christmas cheer

🌟

Some live in the fantasy

its easier that way

Christmas is not fun for everyone

and its okay to say.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We have been very lucky, we have had a lovely peaceful Christmas. I wrote this for all the people who have maybe found it difficult seeing people that they would have preferred not to!  I remember those days and the falseness and stress which goes with it. In an ideal world Christmas would be like it is portrayed in movies. 😉 in reality it rarely is. 🙄

Come Boxing Day to me it’s all over. I take down most of the decorations and I like to retreat back to normality (it must be the Aquarian in me) 😉 bah humbug! 😉

    and you’re right, sometimes Christmas is quite forced

    1. I thought when I was writing it people would think the worst 😉 we had a lovely time but after reading some posts it brought back memories from the past. Have you had a good time. I bet it has been hard work for you 🙂

  2. We, too, had a lovely, peaceful Christmas, Elaine. Since our decorations didn’t go up till Christmas Eve, they’ll be around a little longer. 😉

  3. This is so true. All the preconceived notions about holiday cheer is not totally true, not for everyone. For some it is a stressful burden , for others outright pain. But I don’t think the madness is going away anytime soon.
