The holidays are a tremendous amount of fun. All this excitement in a week with Christmas, boxing day, family, new years eve and new years all rolled into one. The kids home from school. Presents, singing, family … it’s a lot of hooplah to take in. Every year I get excited for it and then every year I go into the ‘after holiday aftermath’. Easy to pick out when I am so done with all the routine breaks and over sugared kids. Here are 7 signs that you might be dealing with the after holiday aftermath too:
Can't Wait to Put Up; Can't Wait to Take Down
December 1st rolls around and I am itching to put up the tree. Because of Big P's birthday - we like to wait to start getting into the spirit of Christmas until after his birthday. I count down the days. After the holiday's when I am done with the aftermath - I count the seconds to taking down that tree.

Yes this – all of this is why I am vacationing next year for Christmas! I have been off work since December 23rd and I swear I have been working harder at home on making “christmas” than I have ever worked at actual WORK!
I have picked out a lovely little mountain resort for Christmas next year. They will even set-up a real tree in your suite and leave the decorations in the box so the kids can go to town (but they hang the lights!).
Want to join us

um – sounds AWESOME!!! smart, smart lady!!
The aftermath is definitely something that I don’t enjoy either-Especially the taking down and storing of all the decorations. Seriously, I LOVE decorating but I HATE taking everything down, packing it away, and storing it again o.O
I would have taken down all of my decorations the day after Christmas but we are having a New Years party…but Sundays it’s all coming down!

I totally recognize this. I really like the holidays but after it I could use another holiday. Great article!
