I didn’t buy a single gift

For as long as i can remember my mom asking “what do you want for Christmas” I can remember saying “I just want to adopt an Angel from the tree” & yet to everyone that was never “enough”.

Every year it’s gotten further from ANY origin root. Now with kids it’s even worse. Idc. I’ll say it. There is some ridiculous performance hoop, there is a unrealistic present expectation, there are FOUR++ sets of families grilling me with questions, an unrealistic schedule trying to be made with ever shifting factors, basic groceries and any other basic functions are all just a pile of mashed potatoes.

The only thing I crave during the holiday is complete and total normalcy. A predictable schedule, normal food, a clean house, no questions & absolutely no expectations.

“holidays are what you make it”

I’m trying my damndest to just freakin make it. Out of all the holidays “Christmas” is the lowest on that totem pole.
