Merry Afterday
Families everywhere are wondering what to do with all the left over food and wrapping paper, filling trash cans to beyond capacity.
People are getting in lines to return that gift that is exactly the wrong shade of pink or the wrong size by an order of magnitude.
Many people have to go back to work today, most wishing that they had listened to their mothers so they would have better jobs and not have to work today.
Teens, ‘tweens, and others are nagging someone for a ride to the mall to use that shiny new gift card and obtain more goodies.
Kiddies everywhere are playing with new toys and things that make noise. Adults are wishing for good weather so the kids will actually go outside for a little while. In some homes, batteries are being lost at magical rates, making certain toys useless, uninteresting, and (most importantly) silent.
Men are playing with the newest gadget and electronic toy that modern technology has to offer. Only three will actually read the instructions, and most will now never ask for directions because of the new GPS, even though they do not know how to make it work in a manner that they can understand.
Mothers and wives are cleaning up after all of the above and thinking how its about time that hubby got off his ass and actually did something like changing into cloths that don’t smell of stale food and beer.
In homes everywhere, people are reliving the annual holiday family fight, gossiping about who said what, and making snide remarks about relatives and friends, creating fuel for next year, and promoting domestic bliss.
In short, people all over this country are wallowing in new swag and recovering from the holiday.
I hope yours was not like any of the above.
Merry Afterday!
