Anna Aspnes is taking us along on her Holiday Album journey on her blog. http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2012/01/the-holiday-album-pages-2-and-3.html i decided to document my own Christmas this year. it was a bear. i just might have to blank out some of the journaling! but, hey. i'm keepin' it real. Anna's Holiday Album templates make it so easy to document you own Holiday. why not jump in and get Holiday 2011 down "on paper," no matter WHAT it was like! i'm keeping mine very VERY simple.
my intro journaling. sorry if this seems like an enormous DOWNER. sometimes things just are what they are:
what is the use of art and remembrance unless we can tell the truth. or at least the truth as we saw it at a moment in time? here is a record of The Truth of Christmas 2011, written without much time or distance between My Perceptions as i create
these pages and The Event itself. i make these pages for Myself, so that i can rethink what has passed. i make these pages for The Future, so that anyone who wishes to do it can know me through my writing and my art. this is also to remind
Anyone who believes that theirs is the only Terrible Christmas that there is at least one other who has left Christmas behind in a haze of Mistaken Expectations: about Family. about the way The World works. about Christmas itself. about Everything.
