Wow, do I not miss it! I can see them during other times of the year that don't involve driving through the rural Midwest in heavy snow, thank you very much. Don't get me wrong: I love my family. I even like most of them. But I don't want to spend the holidays on the road.Little Black Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313164876855565140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-21760700728408988702013-11-12T02:12:58.750-07:002013-11-12T02:12:58.750-07:00I dread the holidays because we don't celebrat...I dread the holidays because we don't celebrate it like at all, in recent years. Last year there wasn't a celebration beyond me and my friends. No one thought to even make a card, or use one of the million of blank ones we have each year. We were so poor and hadn't realized how tight things were until we were in December...sitting all day Christmas day alone in my room seriously sucked. I'm stressing this year because I don't want a repeat. It wasn't the gifts, it was the lack of fun or celebration.lorien13https://www.blogger.com/profile/07064596129198837366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-38794762632667123252013-11-11T13:51:07.243-07:002013-11-11T13:51:07.243-07:00I dread the relatives thing....it was so much easi...I dread the relatives thing....it was so much easier when I was on the west coast! No familial obligations. Now that I'm back east, everyone wants a piece of us and I just want to be left alone. JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
