December 26 always begins with a sense of disappointment. The Main Event is over. No one sings songs about the day after Christmas; no one (in this country, at least) exchanges gifts today, except those people who just couldn't get around to it before yesterday. The Christmas specials are through, though it comes as a relief that most radio stations in town are no longer playing wall-to-wall Christmas music and that TBS's annual "24 Hours of A Christmas Story" has come to an end. One by one, the neighbors will begin to take down their decorations, though the big rush will wait until after the first of the year. Leftovers will be served tonight. (Since dinner was beef tenderloin, however, I'm not upset by this.)
The nice thing is that everything is on sale, so we're going to do some exchanging today and see what we can find. Jen may have a clothing trip to Atlanta in the near future. Meanwhile, I'm going to see my dentist today. Joy to the world, eh?
