Welt, it's over. The anticipation, of
Christmas and New Year cheer was
climaxed. The excitement; surprises.
,nostalgia have come and gone for another
year. -The rush has died down, and even
;the indigestion has worn off.
The presents have .been put away; the
misfits have been iicchanged. The
Christmas tree, like our enthusiasm, seems
to be a little wilted. If the cards and
decorations haven't disappeared already,
"" "-they soon will..
What we are left with is a let-down
'commonly known is the January blah.
For many of us the Christmas,,holidays
are`the highlight of the season, and for the
first time in weeks, we can sit back, put our
feet' up and think about the long' winter,
ahead of us. -
By now my faithful readers, all three of
you, probably understand that winter is net
my favourite season; in fact, it-ranks about
fourth. But I'm not alone in my feeli ngs •
Old Man Winter lost a lot of fans in '77.
Since Santa didn!t -come across with a
ticket to Hawaii for me this Christmas, I'll
have to make the best of another winter in
Ontario. I'M going to try to push aside
thought's of white-outs, spinning tires,
slithery sidewalks, snow inmy boots, and a
rune y nose. Instead I'll concentrate on the
good side of winter.
