Christmas was never very special to me. My Mother had the notion that we shouldn't LIE to children and so that resulted in my always knowing the truth about Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and so forth. I guess I never had that magic that many children feel. Thats the magic that makes it special really.
I hate christmas. For me it is a 'family duty' day. It used to be a birthday, christmas, wedding, funeral sort of family day but we have given up on birthdays now...
The best christmas I had was last year when I was out of the country. Everyone there was upset (missing their families mostly). I was just as upset as I usually am on christmas and it was nice (kinda soothing) for me to be around other people who had all decided to just get blind drunk and forget all about it as best we could.
Shame about this year.
It is summer here.
So its not just a winter depression kinda thing.
It is christmas, christmas indeed.Yeech.
Wake me up when its all over.
Or beam me up now and get me the hell away from here.
