Inertia, as we all remember from that high school physics class we took a bizillion years ago, has something to do with objects at rest wanting to stay at rest. (Which does help explain why rocks don't just get up an walk around on their own, but that's another story all together.) Inertia does have another definition (given to me courtesy of Merriam-Webster). It is an "indisposition to motion, exertion or change" and that just about sums my life in a nutshell.

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
So here's the deal with me and Christmas. It's not that I don't enjoy the giving and receiving of gifts and I do love a good rendition of O Holy Night as much as the next person and I adore sending and receiving Christmas cards with letters and pictures, but I just don't get into the whole decoration aspect. It's completely lost on me. I have no desire to put up the tree (or trees!), climb on the roof to string the Christmas lights, or blanket the house with red and green decorations. To be truthful, it seems fairly pointless, but again--that's just me. I can appreciate the beauty of other people's Christmas style and I bow to their industriousness with all that the decoration process entails. It's just not going to happen at Chez Inertia. Does this make me a Scrooge or a Grinch? Possibly. But I bet when you open your world-famous Inertia Girl Christmas letter, you'll know that deep down, I really do have some Christmas in my heart.
