This used to be my favorite time of the year, Thanksgiving to Christmas! Love and joy , food and fun, and lots of presents! I can no longer joyfull celebrate the season, for as much as I wish it, it is just not possible. As Gal Pal (GP) and I were driving to work yesterday, she christened me the anti-holiday because I don't celebrate anymore. I added the e and we laughed so hard, though with quite a bit of irony on my part, and voila, my nom de guerre is now Auntie Holiday. I am still a hopeless romantic, and have a great desire for familial togetherness on this day and the rest of the season. Unfortunately, it is not to be. I refuse to give up myself for the time it takes to be misunderstood, sniped at and ostracized by the people who are supposed to love me no matter what.
So rather than put up with the pain of being there, I put up with the pain of not being there. At least I don't have to listen to their shit or worse, be ignored and slighted like I wasn't even there. I hope your season is filled with joy and love, romance and excitement, companionship and presents. Thank you dear readers for being an inspiration and encouragement to me. I wish you the season's best and will try not to be too maudlin in my posts. God Bless and keep all of you! Until next time, as always, Enjoy!
