christmas on both sides of the tracks
Yeah so the pagan (that's me) get to go to both the traditional christmas celebration on my father's side of the family, and then to the JW"s approximation of the holiday on my mother's side.
This is one of the reasons I was glad to be away for so long, because the whole thing is a totally mindbending experience. It was worse when I was a kid. With my mom being a JW it meant being different from the other kids (not that I wasn't already) it meant missing out on all that was goiong on (because they wanted to be "no part of the world") Then fuckin build a spaceship and leave! I get so angry , even now when I see the looks of happiness on childrens faces on christams morning, knowing that I didn't get that. I feel robbed, and I feel like my cousisns are getting cheated, out of part of their childhood.
At dad's side of the family there was general family get together, complete with one of my cousins beings home a new soon to be fiancee/
At mom's side of the family there was just a lot of picture taking , which got really annoying after a while. Not sure if there are any goof shots of me at all.
So tomorrow is dealing with the archaic dmv here, and paying the cell bill.
