Christmas

It's Christmas.

Again.

This holiday seems to come up every single year.

I don't usually celebrate Christmas as such. I like the spirit behind it but it's just a commercial holiday. Every year they play the same songs and movies and you're expected to get presents and cards for everyone. Wrap it all up and then throw away all that wrapping afterwards.
I never know what to get people, nothing feels like a good gift, so I tend to get something simple and hope they enjoy it.

I don't think i'd even be involved in it that much if I didn't have people who expect things from me. It's more of a chore than something to enjoy.

I sit around on Christmas day and watch everyone else enjoying themselves. I'm glad they're happy but I don't feel like i'm part of it all, like i'm watching from the outside. I have this picture of Batman standing outside a window, looking in on the Justice League enjoying a Christmas event. I feel like that.

This year is different, normally I can just move through the day without thinking about it. But I have someone I want to spend the day with and can't this year.
I had an idea for a present so I spent a month working on it. I hope she likes it. Maybe that will make up for it.
