Whoever said that Christmas is a joyfull time of year should be slapped. What's so joyful about stressing over having enough money to buy presents for everyone? And it sucks trying to find a gift for someone when you dont know what to buy for them. AND THEN.... when you actually know what the PERFECT gift is... you can never find it anywhere!!! Christmas is too based on gifts. I thought Christmas was supposed to be the time to celebrate Jesus's birth.... not to get greedy over presents or go broke buying for everyone. I mean come on... it's called CHRISTmas.
Now that I am with Dan, we have to spend the holidays with both his family and my family. Don't get me wrong... I love his family... But what a pain! Tomorrow (Christmas Eve) Dan and I are going to my aunt's house to visit with my mom's side of the family. After that, we have to go to Dan's grandparent's house (on his mom's side) and there will be A LOT of people there. If we make it to his grandparents by 6:30, then we will be going to church with the family. I actually would like to go to church with everyone. But that means we have to rush through dinner and gift exchange at my aunts. After going to his grandparents. Dan and I will be staying the night at Dan's mom's house with his mom, stepdad, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and 4 nephews..... FOUR!!!! Ages ranging from 2 to 5 (I think). And Dan's mom's house is not very big... I don't know where everyone is going to fit. Then Christmas morning, we will open gifts with Dan's family. After that, I guess we are going to come to my house and open gifts with my family. And after that, we will be going to Dan's other grandma's house. Then we with exchange gifts there. Now I don't have a problem visiting with his family... I just hate the fact that we have to rush around and around... Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. I have a feeling that we will be too busy to enjoy ourselves. Ahh well..... I'm done complaining. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year anyway.... lol
