While on Holiday

[PB]

It's that time of year again...


Thanksgiving and Christmas...

What are you and yours going to be doing for both..... tell me tell me tell me.

I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays.... what is your opinion on them.

Well, this Canadian thanksgiving I wasn't able to go home so, I have to spent the American thanksgiving with Gary and his family.

Now, I'm bitter because i wanted to spend it with my family and the other reason I'm bitter is because I can't stand his family, except for one of his sisters. They could care less about me. They don't even care much about Gary. Its all so fake and so sad. They have no idea how great of a son/brother they have.

For Christmas, I get to spend it with MY family. I cannot wait to go home and see my mom and everyone else. I haven't seen them for 3 months, and my mom and dad for two months. Im staying for a month :)

Thanksgiving I'll probably make one of the semi-anual appearances at my Grandmother's house to say HI to all the family before dissapearing into the den for whatever sports game I can find. After a couple hours, I'll head back to my side of town, stop at my best friend's house and force down a little more food. Hopefully sometime before the day is over I'll be able to hit my boyfriend's house aswell. I won't have my daughter for Thanksgiving this year. :(

Christmas, I'll probably be up around 10:30ish or so. Do the preasents think with my parents. Then I'll have to drive the 40 miles to pick up my daughter, and the 40 miles back to my house. Make the other semi-annual appearence at my Grandmother's house do the present thing there, and hopefully stop at both my best friend's and maybe my boyfriend's house on the way home. Yay for me.

Absolutely nothing special. Mom's likely working on Christmas, to my knowledge.

Feh. I can drive in the snow but I hate to screw if up for the kids. Work will drag me one way, family another. I might find time to visit my father's grave.

I don't look forward to this time of year at all.

Well, snowmen and laughter do help to take the edge off.

Too far for the Junkheap of Death, but gracias. The lack of holiday type stuff bothers me less every year...not that I ever really had a holiday by most people's perspective.

Thanksgiving: I'll go to the farm and work about 4 hours. Then I'll go to my dad's house for a late lunch, visit with whatever extended family members decide to stop by his place, then come home and rake leaves.

Christmas: I'm going to Texas and mooch off a few of the lunatics that post at this forum. I'll get together with my family either before or after my trip. Maybe both. Who cares? Christmas is for children. And Christians.

My phone rang at work the other day and it was my dad. Now, my dad doesn't usually call me at work because of some "old school" ethics about how when you are at work, well, you are working. He hates to be a bother to me and I find it kind of funny. So when he does call I know he has something on his mind. So I answer the phone and we chat for a few minutes and discuss the same stuff we talk about every day. ( I talk to my dad EVERY day.) He asks me what I'm doind for thanksgiving. Up until this point of the year, I haven't given it two seconds thought or really card about the holidays. I told him I'd be over just the same as I have for the last 12 years. Even though I've gone to his house for the holiday for over a decade, I still get an excited response from him when I tell him I'm coming over. It gets me excited. He also wants me to go over the night before and spend the night. I find that incredibly funny since I have my own place less than 10 miles from him. He just loves his kids to come home for the holiday.

Have I ever told you how much I love my father? Believe me when I tell you that I tell him that very same thing.

Welp,

Thankgiving. It'll be held over here at my house this year for Jo's half of the family. There will be cleaning for me to do and lots of "Billy, will you.........?" and Billy, can you.......? BAH! LEAVE ME ALONE! I prolly wont see any of my family on that day. No biggie, I see enough of them already.

X-mas. It's going to come whether I want it to or not. The not so subtle hint was the x-mas trees in Wal-mart at the beginning of October. BAH again. I can't stand it, it's so commercialized, I do not fallow the "meaning" of x-mas therefor it's a pain in the ass. A gimick. And frankly, I just want it to be over with so I wont have to think about it for atleast another year.

[jules]

I hate the holidays.

[orchid_lilly*]

*sigh*
This shall be my lesson in holiday *cheer*

HI all, new to this board. Brought on here by my dear sauron* &
*jules*

I've read throughout this board...this one kicked me in the tuckus*
I shall spill.

I am just divorced (happily so)
I have a beautiful boy of almost 7 years.
I have shared custody 50/50
chaotic as it seems...it's worked out quite well.
My sons Father is a great dad! (just not as a husband)

Unfortunatally, this holiday of Thanksgiving I shall be alone.
It's all good. I've decided on spending my day...sleeping in.
Going to the Movies alllllllll day :)

Christmas, is a tough one. Splitting a day such as the eve/to the morning of Christmas. Santa is ALIVE and WELL in my sons heart/mind. Which makes it all the more difficult to explain to him what is what...and HOW it is going to work, MY GODDESS!!?? I have no idea.

Christmas eve: with myself
Day with his Father

where oh where does he sleep on the eve???
UGH!

I love the holiday season..I'm a baker/decorator of the home to the hilt... I love tradition, and food...and lights, and cards...and music...

I have faith in myself and his Father that we'll get thru just fine...just so surreal sometimes.

* so serious for a first post, eh?

All in all...I shall make this holiday SEASON*
