The Christmas Spirit
 

Is lost on my entire family.

I have four families to negotiate this Christmas.

1. My fiance's.
2. My mother's side.
3. My father's side.
4. My sister's fiance's side.

1, 3, and 4 have all made plans independently that leave zero room for 2.

So I'm trying to get any of the three to budge a little bit on their plans so that 2 can happen, and all I'm doing is getting yelled at today, being told that the "other party" is to blame for this snafu. Indignation for everybody.

I'm not interested in blame anymore, I'm interested in solutions.

But nobody wants to be a part of the solution.

Merry Christmas, everybody. Jesus would approve.

This is so ****ing common, but yet, still friggin' ridiculous! I hate people. Merry lil' Christmas!!

Sometimes I think not celebrating Christmas is a huge blessing...from my lord Satan.

1. If you enjoy getting laid, go with your fiance and send everybody else cards.

2. What does this have to do with the Cardinals?

They are making great strides with cloning.

Look into it.

I think Clark Griswold said it best ...... "Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?"

**** Christmas!! I used to appreciate that it was a time of year when one was supposed to put their best foot forward. Be nice, cheery, generous, and offer a helping hand. Those days are so long gone, it's not even funny. Fights in parking lots over who can take the next spot, fights in the mall over who gets the last sweater or hot toy or what ever. So many expectations on everyone that it just generaly causes everyone to stress out and thus be in a pissed off mood.

"Daddy, I wanted the green Xbox, not the regular one" -- **** Off

"Sweety, you know we have to go to my moms house, or she will have a fit. I know we have spent the last 5 xmases there, but your parents are easier going then mine, they won't care that we won't be there." -- **** Off

"Hey, I have been waiting for that spot for 15 minutes."
"Thats nice, guess you will be waiting for another 30" -- **** Off

I HATE this time of year with a passion. My general dislike of humanity is proven doubly over every December.

my only advice would be to drink until you can't feel feelings anymore.

don't forget the advertising campaigns that make you think everyone else in america is getting/giving lexuses for xmas.

Do we go through this every year here? I don't remember ever having this many "Merry f***ing Christmas" threads before.

Money's tight
Times are hard
Here's your ****ing Christmas card

I like the poem on the outside, but I know what picture awaits on the inside...


Asshole.


I mean, thanks!

That's the second time this week you've called me an asshole. I'm beginning to develop a complex. :D

Well #2 Should always come first
Then you gotta decide between #1/#3 next
#4 gets whatevers left of you if possible.

I learned several years ago not to try and play referee with the multiple family get togethers.... Been down that road, and it never ever ever worked out. There's no possible way to please everyone in that situation.

Do what works best for you and the missus.... and tell the rest to suck a yule log... they'll get over it. Be ready to shrug off the guilt trips....
