Oh, the holidays

Just finished up the thanksgiving weekend.....I feel extremely FAT right now as I sit and type this thing. I feel like that "fat man" from Monty Python's "the meaning of life" skit where he says "I can't eat another bite. One more bite and I'm going to throw up".
I know I may be the only one who feels the way I'm feeling right now but as I spent the last three days eating, thinking of what to eat next, knowing we will once again be called in to eat, followed by periods of t.v. watching and sleep then waking up and doing it all over again. I'm overwhelmed with the feeling of "YUCK". Not because I don't like doing any of these things and not because I don't enjoy the people I'm experiencing all this with, because I do. But that during this season I've become very aware of the fact that I'm something I really don't want to be. Or is it that i've become something I don't like being....oh, I don't know, I just feel full, no FAT.
My stomach is full.
My house is full.
My attic is full......I've got stuff in the garage, back porch, back yard. I've got stuff everywhere. It seems I'm a little crowded on the inside of me too. Full of the things i've seen that have stuck with me, the experiences i've experienced that has hurt, made me bitter, untrustworthy, fearful, ashamed, sad, unsure. It's like I feel FAT on the inside too, in my mind, heart, soul, everything is sooooooooo FULL. Now Christmas is coming and I'm supposed to ask for more? More food for my stomach. More stuff for my home, attic and backyard. More things to see, experiences to experience....chew, chew, swallow....chew, chew, swallow.
I don't want more. I don't want more stuff on the outside or inside. In fact I think I would like less. Less stuff, less clutter. They say you get fat because your taking in more than you really need and that when you do that your body transfers it to storage. Your body actually gets a storage unit to stick all the excess crap your shoveling in. I would love for Christmas to be about less, about getting ride of things we don't need, giving them to people who need. I want to spend more time shoveling out instead of in. How about you?
