It's Xmas, why are you here?!?

Recommended Posts

With being deployed... its mostly an "On your own" day. We had a dinner with the sections, but mostly it is just go to your room, and contact your loved ones back home. In my case, they arnt online, due to the holiday celebrations and all... so I revert back to my other family... you guys!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Same reason as you. Mom and Dad are plowing through the Sunday papers, my brother and his family are back at their house after meeting us for lunch yesterday, so it's a very low-key Christmas.

Plus I figured thegreekone was looking to see if I was online. Oh, wait, he's probably not referring to *me*. ;):ph34r:

Well, my girls left at noon so after cleaning up the mess from breakfast, the mess from packages in the family room, telling my father I was headed to a friends cause I couldn't take eating turkey and ham again after last night (plus their house looked like a bomb went off after all 18 of us opened 15-20 gifts each and I DO NOT want to have to help clean that up), I am goofing off drinking my third gin and tonic:P and packing my car for the trip to Z Hills.B|

Well? What's your excuse for being online today?

My excuse - we already opened the presents and had breakfast, now there's nothing to do til dinner. :D



I need no excuse. I started driving to my parent's house--about 3 hrs. away--dreading it all the way. No way did I want to go there, but like an idiot, I told them I would. The closer I got, the slower I was driving. When I was about a half hour away, I called them and told them I wasn't feeling well and was going to spend the day relaxing at home. Then I headed home.

It was like a great weight off my shoulders.

My folks are great people. I have no ill feelings toward them and have nothing bad to say about them. Like most parents, though, they are completely unable to let me just be me--especially during the holidays.

I simply was not in the mood today to act "Christmasy". Fuck that. I'm coming down with a cold and just didn't feel up to putting on some bullshit act for them or anyone else. Had it been any other weekend, I'm sure I would have continued to their place and hung out for a while.

It being Christmas, though, they would have had some sort of parental expectations of me.

My friends, including my online friends, have no such expectations. They are perfectly ok with me being me.

I'm not one to make New Years resolutions, but I think I will make one this time around. Next year, I will not even pretend like I'm going to my parent's house during the holidays. I'm going jumping or skiing, like I should have done this year.
