The holidays were great. Are they over, now?

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. . . and at least one big family dinner for each. I like my family, and we always have good food, but now I'm full - like long-term full. I got great gifts, including one very sweet gift from a student, but now I have more stuff than I have time to use or space to store. I bought some fun gifts for my family, but now I'm broke. I missed Yule. I missed Hmong new year (which I would really like to have celebrated), and I still am on holiday overload. Valentine's day is just six weeks away, my birthday just eight, and maybe then, I'll be able to rest again, at least until Summer.
