so, my mom just got of the phone with chad (my uber religious 'uncle')
And she's crying her fucking eyes out.
dad calls, and i'm in the bathroom and i overhear the conversation...because when my mom crys, she tends to talk louder.
chad's being an ass, and arguing with my mom about when they're gonna come over.
he wants it x-mas eve, when we've had it christmas day EVERY YEAR! (it's a tradition in our family...whatever)
and he's pinning it on my mom, and saying it's her fault she's "inconveniancing" him to come down here, and that she 'wouldn't care' if he didn't come.
dad and i are the one that wouldn't care, not mom.
Honestly, i'd like to spend x-mas morning with my parents, and grandfather, and in the afternoon, and evening, go hang out with my friends.
Christmas is my mothers favorite holiday, it's weird....it's like a thing for the women in my family to LOVE christmas....but i hate it, whatever. but, she loves christmas....but with chad, she said she's getting to the point where she doesn't care anymore.
When chad comes, i'm ripping him a new one....
all chad cares about is himself..jesus fucking christ i hate him.
christmas isn't about the presents, hell, to me, it isn't even about jesus.
It's about spending time with your loved ones, and thinking of others before yourself. making people smile, and feel loved, and for ONCE, not caring about what YOU 'get out of something'. It's about making other people feel better about themselves, not making yourself feel better...
Make this holiday season better by not always caring about yourself, and your needs....but the one's you care most about, and their needs.
because honestly, it is better to give that to recieve.
(at least it is for me)
Hope everyone has a Happy holiday.
