Imagine being in Madras on Diwali morning. The whole city is celebrating, but you have nowhere to go and no family to meet. You are still in your night clothes, and you spend the day cleaning the house, cooking etc. Sounds like fun right?
Its that time of the year again here in the US of A. Only thing, its Thanksgiving. and the equivalent of the same scenario (as described above) happens every year for me.
As you can tell, I am not a big fan of the holidays. I have another two days to tide over (Christmas and New Year) and then, thankfully, we will not have anymore holidays till the end of may. Yeaa!!!! I love my routine - going to work, seeing people around me, being able to shop whenever i need to etc. Its really awkward when everything shuts down for a day, its freezing cold outside, dark by 4:00 pm, and then ghostly quiet.
Forgive my grumpy post.
As for the pressure to do lots of shopping on the friday after thanksgiving...dont even get me started!
