It always interests me how everything blends in. While Christmas isn’t officially over (we’re only up to 8 Maid a Milkin'), I decided that I would take down the decorations today. I wanted a day or two of back-to-normalness before going back to work. To do that, I needed to clear out all the gifts from under the tree (all the soap and anti-bacterial products!). It amazes me how everything can blend in as though it was part of the decor all along. It’s not only with Christmas, the same goes with, any gift-giving occasion, trips to IKEA and any other home decor locale.
With IKEA It seems so unique, so specific, but once it gets in the house, it’s like camouflage. It adapts to the environment and looks like it’s been there all along.
Soon, the need to remind ourselves to write 10 not 9 will do much the same, blend in and become the norm. The 2010 will be the now versus the unfathomable future. Before we know it, 2010 will fade into our lives and we’ll be reminding ourselves to write 11.
