Okay...that's it...
I'm just about done with Christmas...and, unfortunately, I don't mean in the lovely, I'm-finally-finished-with-my-shopping way. I mean, I'm DONE! I'm over it...finished...finito! Christmas is supposed to be about fun and love and feeling like a little kid all over again. It's not supposed to stress you out to the point of screaming into a pillow until you can't breath every frickin' day! I just...I'm over it...I really, really am. Things were going so well at first. We got our shopping done really early, gifts are coming in every day so I can get them wrapped and under the tree. My dad was going to put up my new house lights so that, with all my new, pricey decorations, my house was going to look fantastic for the whole month of December...Now...
Well, the store didn't have the house lights we wanted, and since that's the only place in the world that sells them (sarcasm, don't you love it) they didn't get done the one pretty day we've had in two weeks...so about one third of my decorations are up and my house looks pretty much like every other house on the street except I have reindeer in the front yard...The gifts are getting wrapped on schedule...except for the most important person's (my sister) who I haven't even bought for yet. Why not, you ask? Let's get into that...She sent out her wish list for Christmas with about twelve things on there...in spite of knowing, that there are about fifteen people using said list. Then, when I decide what I'm going to get (which she will soooooooo love) my dad says no way, he's getting that for her and I need to find something else....except that there's not much else on the list...like one big thing (can't say here, cause she reads this) and a ton of little things. So, dad's getting her the big thing, her friends are getting her the little things and I'm left out in the freakin' cold....then today I found out that one of her friends was planning on getting her the big thing too....She specifically asked everyone to coordinate with me to avoid repeat gifts, but does any of these people pay attention....of course, not...that would be easy and right and fair and we can't do that. So I'm online looking and looking and I find something pretty good...except I can't get it by Christmas...great. So, I come up with another idea...except I can't afford that...so what about...nope, they don't have any more of those...or those in the right size...
I'm just so done...I'm so freakin' over Christmas right now...I really, really am...I'm sick of being frustrated, I'm tired of being tired, and I'm absolutely fed up with being stressed. It's supposed to be fun, but right now? It's really, REALLY not...
