The Day After Christmas Blues

I always find the day after Christmas a bit of a let down.  It’s funny, this year I was battling the blues going in to Christmas so the Day After thing hasn’t been so bad.  I am not sure if that is good OR bad!

I don’t cook the day after a big food holiday.  I generally just leave the fridge door open (figuratively) and let everyone graze on whatever is left.  That means that Kyrie is probably high on sugar right now, Nick has eaten  nothing but fruit salad, Marc hasn’t eaten at all, and everyone else is somewhere in between their fourth helping of M&Ms and the left over ham.

I got a gift certificate to Amazon from one of the companies I write for and so I have been trying to decide on exactly what I want to get.  It is so hard!  Cookbook? Gadget? Gourmet salt? I can’t make a choice.

For me, the holidays are over.  New Years is not a big deal here.  I don;t enjoy the late night glitz and boozing that so often seems to be a part of it.  So, for this year anyway, I am ready to get the Christmas stuff put away, the house cleaned up, and move on into 2009.

The fact that it is nearly 70 degrees today is not helping!

So, how was your Christmas? Do you cook the day after or do what we do and just graze?
