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:
The Flu
Life has a way of being funny. You're overworked and tired from all the holiday festivities and excitement. Of COURSE all the kids are going to get hit with the flu. Your work is now extra because you've got to wipe boogers every 20 minutes and give extra cuddles.

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!
