Every year as the holiday season approaches, I love the sights, smells, rushing people, busy streets and the crazy shopping. Uh uh..before you start thinking that I am one of those crazy shoppers, let me clarify, I like looking at this frenzy from the comforts of my home..I watch the frenzy on TV, as I walk by on crowded sidewalks or as I wait for my train.
This year however, I have seen a decidedly lack of christmas cheer and spending frenzy. Instead I find people are spending more time and money on travelling to visit family and friends. Personally, that's what I'm doing this year, but I find the same true for most of my family, friends and colleagues. Instead of spending on a big gift for her mom, a friend is visiting her family for a week. I like the idea, however, I find that I miss the energy that comes from observing the holiday frenzy/cheer/spirit.
On a different note, I finally submitted all my applications, and now it feels like the waiting has begun...for the decisions, for the holiday season, for my 2 week vacation, and for so much more...Let's see what's in store....
