Well I can understand your angst against it all. Christmas time may well as be called Happy present giving Day. Get out in them there hills. And are you taking the piss about the elderly, lonely people . Do you volunteer?Or are you talking about your parents.
LOL...your last sentence....What is that? I experience that all of the time on the internet...not in real life, though... but is this a bitch and moan session? I could do that.....but am not going there today....I will be fine , thank you.....for asking...lol but I am busy making pretty little packages for people now....as i am determined to sprinkle joy around, as I do every year....Children I know will be ecstatic to see me....they know a good heart when they see one....and that I love them....people I know may be grouchy...some of them...but I will put a smile on their faces.....so I am happy to do that no matter what. Speaking of Walmart...i never go there...but stopped there the other day to look at the card section and toy section...and it wasn't bad...I got some beautiful cards.....granted they were a little expensive...but they are everywhere else, too...but I was happy with my purchases..... When I buy a greeting card, if I do....as I also like to make my own with my own artwork....I go for the art. i want something that would be beautiful in a frame......and if the message falls a little short...I write my own inside anyway.
My parents are dead. I spend Christmas with my sister, and she doesn't celebrate on Christmas day. She just does it whenever is convenient for her. So Christmas day itself is like any other day for me, which is kind of a bummer. I am somewhat apart from the entire spirit of Christmas that permeates the world on that day. You guys will all be celebrating Christmas on Christmas day and I'll be sitting in the dark in my room all by myself. I like Christmas in general, though. It's nice to see the kids get excited over their presents. I love Christmas lights, so that's a plus. I can see how you would think the spirit of Christmas was a load of bullshit, but I'm personally too wishy-washy. I just think about how still and silent it is outside on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning and all the families together in their houses enjoying each other's company.
My parents are gone, too...and I am so sad much about that. they should still be here....but how much sadness , heartache and anger can anyone carry aorund all of the time? I keep bouncing....and it is getting harder, yes....due to this year's events...but I am so determined....anyway..... I love things that light up....lights...and little toys and things that light up.....It is pretty out there ......It is pretty in here.....I find something to be happy about if I really try..... I am travelling to the city soon to see my brother and watch him get married. I will be sprinkling as much joy as I possible can there.....too. I refuse to sit in any dark rooms. i do that much of the time, already...i am going to the neighbor's on Christmas...and that is always fun....Make happy things happen for yourself.
Yeah just sitting in the house feeling sorry for myself. Scrooging up my radio because it keeps playing Xmas music. Oh hey, the fairytale of New York again. Fuck it. I need to get out more. I was just round at some neighbours, they took some of the edge off the self loathing and made me tea and scones.
I don't celebrate Christmas and since i decided to accept true worship of Jehovah God. Jesus was not born on December 25th, but in late October. Most, if not all of it is rooted in pagan worship. The Bible only mentions 2 birthdays being celebrated, one party ended with the beheading of John the BaptistI and the other the Pharoah of Egypt. Instead, Jesus says to memorialize his death. Makes complete sense to me to not celebrate this holiday.
I can't bring myself to hate Christmas. I can see where some of the pomp and circumstance surrounding it can grow tiresome: but to hate a holiday? I have better things to spend energy on.
Two night ago I was at the pet store with my partner. I'd gotten a text message saying if I bought a certain amount of dog food I'd get a whole bunch of free treats. Easy deal. Went in. Paid. Got the treats. As we walked out the person who served us said to us "you two have a very merry Christmas". This next part may actually be hard for some people to read and grasp so here's a forewarning. We said "thank you" and though neither of us celebrate the Christmas with any Christian significance, we walk out of that shop and got on with the rest of our lives.
No Xmas in Thailand. My 5 year old son will get no presents, if it's on a week day the kids have school. It's much better living here. But I do miss pigs in blankets!
I'm gonna watch "Its a wonderful life" this Xmas, havent watched it in about 5 years and its the best Xmas movie Actually looking forward to this Xmas, my mother and her sister are fighting So hopefully I wont have to watch all 300 pounds of her inhale a whole chicken at once this Xmas It'll just be a quite one with a few of us, so I can drink eggnog and watch aboveforementioned movie By eggnog I mean gin and tonic, I hate eggnog (yeah lets put alcohol in milk and raw eggs and try get drunk on that without throwing up - who the fuck invented that shit?)
raw eggs? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I did not know that...I only had eggnog for the first time ever last year and liked it because of the nutmeg...Think I will pass this year...I love eggs, but hate them raw....and will not eat Caesar salad for that reason, either.
I've recently had a complex about eggs in general. When you really think about what they are and stuff just ewww.
Listen guys, I hate to break it to you but it's Xmas time, not the feast of easter, so less talk about bacon and eggs please? Dog food and cock fights is ok since dogs and poultry in general are religiously impartial, apart from turkey. I mean the bird, not the country there.
