There will be no decorated tree, no SnowVillage, no decor of any kind, by my decree. I’m tired of trying to hold this family together. The tree will remain up, it has lights. I see no need for more.
Dinner may or may not happen. Krissy announced she is working both Eve and Day. If we want to gather, it will have to be 10:00 AM Christmas Day.
It’s not just a Christmas, it is year round. We do very little as a family. I see pictures of whole families gathering to even just be together. We grudgingly gather on the two biggies Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes I feel they come just for the food and gifts. They disappear pretty fast after the last bite of food or the last gift.
I know they are adults and have lives of their own. I just wish they included me.
I wish that for you as well.
