Ah yes, Christmas! You know what?? BAH HUMBUG! I never was much on Christmas even growing up....and I'm still not. If you are, thats cool! I realize there are people who have families and kids and grandkids....and brothers and sisters that they want to be with, and thats OK for those folks.....just not me. Not my style. I have done a pret-ty good job of alienating myself from my brothers and sisters and all their kids and grandkids, some of it INTENTIONALLY, so the heck with them. Saw a movie short time ago, Four Christmases, where Robert Duvall said "you can't spell families without lies"......so true.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see my mom, but hasn't happened the last 3 Christmases, and not this year either....shes in Illinois, I'm in Arizona--just 15 miles from the California line.....that would be a long haul back to there!! But, she understands why I am where I am, and more importantly she understands why I am the way I am.....and because I know my brother in South Carolina won't ever see this message, keep smoking that pot you jackass, one day maybe soon you'll have a massive coronary and drop over dead!
Wow, cold huh? I guarantee you, I could drop dead tonight, and that jerk would NOT come to Illinois for the funeral! Typical big brother/little brother relationship growing up with that yutz!! He is 3 years to the day older than me, but he is a real piece of work.....
Anyway, enough of that. You guys don't want to hear about that! Sorry, got off on a tangient there.....hope you all are where you want to be tonight, with who you want to be with, and that the jolly fat man brings you everything you want for Christmas!
Myself, don't worry about me gang, I am so darn happy its ridiculous!! Merry Christmas good readers!
I love your honesty and how you just put it right out there!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too John!
I'm sending happy thoughts your way and I predict at least a couple will get through... even in spite of your bah-humbugedness :)
I generally like Christmas, though we keep the gift stuff very low key. After some issues with a family member including a large loan being blown off (my stupid for trusting), the family get-together in January will be more something to endure than enjoy. I'll be glad to see the rest, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the issues getting resolved, so it may get to where I just skip out, and head for the hills (maybe Arizona?) someday.
Merry Christmas - enjoy your clan of friends for the holidays.

Reckon I'll just skip over saying Merry Christmas and just skip right to Wishing you Health & Happiness in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteJust another quick stop to mess up your bah-humbug with another Merry Christmas (as if the first one wasn't enough).
ReplyDeleteGosh with friends like us to put a kink in your humbug mojo....
Have a great day :)
