it seems that i have many folks that i see only once or twice a year. and this makes me unhappy. but at the same time, i am so glad to see them so i am happy. the problem is that i feel pressure to get completely caught up with everyone in the time span of like 2-3 hours what has been happening since last year. it seems that unless they are fabulous communicators, which usually they are not... that the friendship gets more and more surface like. i suppose this is natural. the weird part of this is that it is mostly my family that this occurs. we all get together and eat. all the women are so concerned about the food and decorations that they dont truly visit, none of my family really knows each other. but how could you if you only see each other once or twice a year?
all this to say, holidays are great but i am tired and frusterated. so many people to see, not enough time to visit with them all. sometimes i think... whats the point?
