Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas - NOT
Hehe this quote from National Lampoon's pretty much sums up what I'm feeling right now...
"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny f-ing Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white a-- down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a--holes this side of the nuthouse."
Yeah so um...I wanted to have Christmas at my house this year since we have a new house and we can finally invite everyone without people having to sleep on the balcony. So I invited everyone but because of work schedules it ended up being set for the weekend of the 20th. Which was fine. And then my dad couldn't make it because he couldn't get that day off and still have Christmas off. Which was fine. We figured we'd just drive down and see them on Christmas day anyway. And then Nate's brother and his wife couldn't make it because they just moved to Georgia and she had just started a new job. Which was fine. So we were all set for folks to come about a week ago - Nate's parents, Nate's other brother & his girlfriend, my Mom and my sister, her husband and my niece. And then I found out my family would be only be able to come for the day. Which was fine.
And...then they decided not to come at all. Well my mom - wanted to but my sister and her husband were her ride. Basically - they just don't want to make it a priority because they have this other Christmas party that they committed to after they committed to coming here. And they can't come for the morning because they don't feel like coming out here and driving like an hour. But the weekend after Christmas is fine for driving down to see us. Oh and they also can't come for Christmas Day either because they are coming down Christmas eve day. And they expect me to switch my schedule around and be there. Yeah um no. I actually stick with the plans I make thanks.
I'm just so disappointed. I mean I've been planning this since the summer before we even had a house and dreaming about how much fun it would be to have everyone together for Christmas. That was all I really wanted this year. But its like whatever. At least Nate's family is coming so I'm grateful for that. But I wanted my family there ya know? And honestly with the way things are going I'm just waiting for the call from them telling us that they can't make it either... *sob*
So I'm really looking forward to this Saturday and the Christmas party because at least that party will be fun and will work out. So at least at one point I get to fill my house with a bunch of people *sigh*
I know schedules are crazy and things don't always work out. But it would have been so nice. And to be honest my family is so queer I'm not even going to try again next year. Maybe I'll just stay home the entire holiday season. Bah humbug!
