Where's the Holiday Cheer?

I'm just not feeling the holidays this year. I don't feel like shopping even if I already know what I am getting everyone on my list. I'm just not up for it, I want to go hide and read a good book. I don't feel like dealing with my in laws yearly holiday drama. (They have to see us at least 6 times for Christmas and New Years and still complain that isn't enough). I have cookies to bake and for once I don't feel like doing it. In fact I'm downright procrastinating on that. I think that this year is going to be more Yule focused than previous years have been. I think little 'un may be ready for the explanation of Yule and why we as Pagans celebrate it.
