Holidays? Bah Humbug!
I don’t know what it is about the holidays but I have not had a satisfactory one since I left home. I can’t seem to get everyone together the right way. Some people just plain don’t get along, others think that others still don’t care for them, no one likes the same version of stuffing, and it has just become too much trouble. I am tired of making everyone happy or at least attempting to. So, this Christmas I vow to GIVE UP! Go ahead and wake me up and let me know that Santa brought you what you wanted. Great! Now, let me go back to sleep or make a big plate of nachos and watch TV. I don’t want to do Christmas this year. It’s a lot of hassle and there’s not much love left in it anymore. I am desperatley trying to find a way to go on vacation on Christmas. You can bet next year, I will be gone Thanksgiving and Christmas, no more family ties for me on the holidays, I’m going my own way! I’m sick of it. It’s supposed to be fun and it is anything but fun for me anymore, more like a headache that I don’t want! I’ll be in a hotel somewhere on Christmas with a bottle! LOL! Hope you all have a great one!

It is tough during the holidays nowadays. I think it’s partly because society dumps a lot of responsibility and busy-ness on us. That, and the fact that most of our relatives (I speak for my own here-not anyone elses) are totally screwed up in the head.
I hope you find a good vacation spot; if so, post it here so the rest of us can find solace.
My tribe thankfully is enjoying the holidays more this year than in recent past. Last year was horrible for more than one reason but mostly because of the jobs and economic situation. We’re looking back now and realizing we have stuck together through some really nasty times and are glad to have ourselves, even if it’s a small group. I would rather have my little family than a big fat family full of retards.
Now I know why my elders from the days of the great depression were thankful during the holidays.
As for you Stephanie: Find a great hideaway, get sh*tfaced and send me a cool postcard. You’ll make it one way or the other.

To thine own self be true! Find your own happiness and if others don’t want to play – they can stay home.
Families have their agendas, their likes and dislikes and not everybody likes the other.
Every family has these issues, especially the more of each family you try to include in your parties or get-togethers.
