Usually I take the last week or couple of weeks from Christmas to the first full week in January off work.
I take it off work and leave my current location and refresh my being in a new location.
So far, I've been able to achieve getting that week off work in Nigeria because they take Christmas way too seriously over here. However, I have not been able to leave my current location and travel. Taking that week off and being at home dealing with every day chores is dare I say, just stark. You need lots of money to not wear a hole in the carpet.
For me, since I don't get invited to all the family gatherings, get togethers, functions, naming ceremonies and loud birthday celebrations, I just have to sit with me, like I always do. Except this time I am sitting during the "festive" season. This year, with moving into my flat about 3 months ago and not having time to unpack and then, work reigning down on me like a ton of bricks, I had intentionally shelved some chores for the holidays when I would have time for them. Now, it's the holidays and I am more than overwhelmed but bored, thinking, is this what my holidays are about?
Yes, I would much rather be elsewhere without adulating chores, somewhere else, anywhere else, then, I handle the chores when I am done.
