Christmas!
I had a really great Christmas this year!
We had a great meal and I got a lot of nice gifts. Everyone got along great. My mom and stepfather liked the gifts that I got for them. They gave me some clothes and some gift cards to Barnes and Noble. They are going to be turned into a lot of books!
The only hitch is that i had to come back to my place early because I have a slow leak in one of my tires. instead of spending more time with my mom I have to get my tire fixed.
But some fantastic news is that my friend Hunter is coming up to visit tomorrow. She and her brother are visiting her aunt and they are swinging by to see me. I am going to take her to the movies and to dinner. It will be part of my Christmas present to her.
Merry Christmas one and all!
Snow
Well, the apocalypse didn’t come. Like I always said, if the Mayans could predict relentless civilization annihilating disasters, then how come they didn’t see the white people coming?
But a natural occurrence or a more annoying kind than the apocalypse has descended upon me: Snow. The wind is about howling and is blowing about 42 km/26 mph and its about 24F/-4C on top of that. I like gentle snows that just fall, not ones that come blasting into your face horizontally.
My mom just called and said that she and my stepfather are in West Virginia on a trip. She never told me she was going, just hit me with the fact that she is in another state, still in the Appalachians though, but under worse conditions. I am worried for her safety, but I am worried that that is how she is going to spend Christmas. She has taken off on holidays before. By no means do I think that she is obligated to take me with her, but when my holiday plans are built around coming home, it kind of derails things to show up and only to find that she has already left without telling me.
I have come to a conclusion. People don’t hate Christmas, or any other Holiday for that matter, they hate their family. The holidays are the times when you are forced to be around them and that is the cause of the stress. Or, if your family shuns you or you isolate themselves from them, it causes depression.
