Deep in the Cockels

I am a self-purported SCROOGE.  I find Christmas stressful, I get pissed at the mall and I actually shouldered someone out of the way on my way to the subway yesterday.  (Not a proud moment, I'm usually a pretty even keeled kind of gal.)  To the world, I present a firmly "bah humbug" kind of attitude.

But, deep down, I can't stop myself from getting excited about it.

I love buying presents for people.  And the hubby and I grocery shopped tonight for all of his favourite meals to eat over the 3 whole days I have off!  In a row!  We have a cute little tree.  I bought the stuff to make cookies....

But I don't even want to be excited.  Being excited often means being let down when it doesn't hold up to your expectations.  Mind you, I don't really have high expectations about it, I just can't squash the Christmas in the cockels of my heart.

Yup.
