So I've determined that I will not win this battle. No matter how hard I try, I will never fit in with my family. They will just never accept me... and God Bless my mother for pretending to like my cheeseball... and my sister for quite literally taking ALL of my bread pudding and storing it away in her refrigerator... only to throw it away later when I'm not looking (all to spare my feelings) I appreciate it but I hate that it has to be that way.
I really wish for just ONCE that we could all get together for a holiday and enjoy spending time with each other and no one act like an ASS or anything. I know this can't be too much to ask for.
So with the current situation of my life which would be... single parent, no prospective future plans for building on that lack of relationship, no significant reason to think that I will ever grow a larger family or adopt one... or marry into one, and my family doesn't really care if I'm there or not... I think I'll just boycott holidays. I don't need the stress anymore. I mean it's not a big deal anyway... I only have the opportunity to be with my child every other holiday anyway and NEXT year is my sucky holiday schedule so it'll be the perfect opportunity to start NOT doing anything.
Christmas 2009 is supposed to be at my house. Which
You could always spend Christmas with our family. We could play Taboo! Seriously, I'm sorry your Thanksgiving sucked. Ive been pretty wrapped up in my own problems lately, I hate that. I think we should tell our families we are going to start our own traditions! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHolidays have always been really important to me. I don't know why exactly but all holidays have. But it always sucks because Thanksgiving and Christmas are NEVER good. So I've decided I just won't have high hopes for those two EVER. Its like when a really good movie you have been waiting for comes out. If you have high hopes for it being really good then you're going to find something wrong with it. But if you just think "Yeah, I want to see that eventually." You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
ReplyDeleteSo basically what I'm saying is.. Don't expect anything. Don't expect it to be great because then the food will burn or somebody will be an ass. Expect people to be an ass. Expect the food to be horrible. And expect to have the worst time of you life. Then when its not you'll be surprised! Or in the worst case you'll be prepared for the worst Christmas ever.
But really..I'm not going to tell you to have it with us. Because I know you don't feel comfortable around Mom. So why take you from your family to only bring you to another family where you won't have fun? But I do think we should have a Wild Cat Christmas. Wed before Christmas, Coffee, Christmas Cookies, Presents, maybe even a Christmas movie? Yeah!
