I am just sort of feeling blah today. Christmas is in 13 days and I don't even want it to come this year. We have no snow, all of our extended families are being GIANT pains in the ass about scheduling, and I'm just not happy with the way this year has turned out. It doesn't feel like the holiday season at all. I don't know how people who live in warmer climates do it. Without the snow and telltale signs of winter I just can't seem to get in the mood at all.
I even had one aunt call my mom and COMPLAIN that we didn't spend enough money on her youngest son last year. CAN.YOU.BELIEVE.THAT?!?!?! Her youngest is approx 13. All the other grand kids are 29-21, T the youngest was adopted (he's actually a great nephew on the other side of the family). Well none of us other grand kids exchange presents between each other anymore. We just buy for the little guys (next generation). Well since T is younger we have always bought for him too. Which is fine but since he's getting older it's more difficult. So we usually get him a gift card. Well my aunt didn't think the amount was high enough and called to complain and
I think everyone spends alot of time at the end of the year thinking about what they have done this year and how things could have been different and I am no exception. J & I have been saying (for the last couple years) that we were glad for the year to be over and that the next year would be 'our year'. Each year has gotten progressively worse than the year before it and so now all I have to say is that if 2012 gets ANY worse than 2011 was, I'm not sure I'll make it out alive.
