Day 261: Christmas: the homebody

Some people are travel people, some people just aren't.
[my] Christmas is not a travel person. Outside of South Dakota it doesn't fare well--not badly--just not well.
It's just not its self.

Since Sweden is beginning to feel homey-ish, but not quite home, I feared fuzzy, luke-warm hints of Christmas...but not my Christmas. Enough to stir, too little to satisfy. So, to rid myself of all familiarity [and thus, homesick pains] I will drug myself with foreign. I'm off to Spain & Andorra.
You may call it denial. I call it strategic.  Loneliness diversion misdirection and/or suffocation approach. [LDMSA]
It may be like Christmas 2010 never happened; It may be a Christmas wound under a Spanish band-aid; or Maybe Christmas and Andorra will play nicely, a Christmasy co-existence. Only 5 days will tell.

"Orange you glad."

"Citrus & Clover, Over & Over."
