Christmas Sucks.
I want Christmas to go away. Forever.
I got bit by a dog on the hand (not a big deal, but it's between my thumb and index finger.. so it's a bit discomforting). I can't really do anything, but yet I have to.
Jessica made cookies - I cleaned up after her.
My mom is terribly sick - so I had to make the hand-made gifts for the aunts and uncles.
My father = messy - I spent the afternoon vacuuming.
My sister came home from her boyfriend's house this morning, and showed my parents and my other sister and her fiancée all the gifts she received from his family. A million things. I could just see the expression on my father's face, the discomfort - because he was unable to buy her everything he wanted to this year and because my sister's fiancée has one gift under the tree. Last year, he received a container of mixed nuts from my grandfather and a small toolkit from my dad - neither he liked. I want it to go away.
I haven't really had a moment to myself - and if you know anything about me I need my moments. I'm crabby, irritable, absolutely annoyed. Above all, I can't do my homework because it's difficult for me to write. (The dog bite is in my right hand.)
Once again, I shall repeat, FUCK Christmas.
And I can't help but think of all the families around the world that aren't warm right now. The families that are hungry. The children crying of malnutrition, but their mothers unable to supply them with their needs. The families that don't have any presents under a tree, less alone the families who don't have a tree. The families who are having their first Christmas without their mother, who died last year. Or the father, the brother, the wife, etc. I think of the entire world, the number of people who are crying right now in despair, and it makes me cry. It makes me want to give up Christmas, to give all of my gifts away. To give everyone's gifts away.
Greed is what will destroy this world. Not ignorance. Not arrogance. Not Apathy. Greed.
So, in the spirit of Christmas - Let's go open gifts!
