Becalmed in December

That's how I am right now: becalmed. I've done what Christmas shopping I'm going to do (since I'll be traveling to Southern California for the holiday, I've ordered all the gifts for the SoCal family online and had them sent directly there so I don't have to stuff them into a suitcase), Hanukkah is on its way out (I'll light eight candles tonight), and, well, I just don't feel festive. My neighborhood is filling up with lighted houses, and they all look wonderful, and when I'm out in the evening, I love seeing them. But . . .

Laying low, reading, thinking . . . maybe this is the state of being we'd all return to if there weren't offices to go to, shopping to tend to, meetings to conduct. Or maybe I'm just in a slump.
