Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope it's going great for all of you. The holidays are a great time, to see family members you may not get to see every day. If nothing else, it's a great time to try and relax from work or school. If you're stressing over gifts or the holiday season, stop it. That ruins the whole idea. Anyway, once again I hope you all are having a great Christmas day. I'd like to hear your Christmas traditions, or your family's attitude toward the season.

As for me and mine? My family has never been too big on traditions, I guess. We're having dinner at my grandmother's later today, which should prove to be alright. It'll be good food. I was supposed to go over to a retirement center this morning, but didn't wake up on time. I really wish I would've. But, at the same time I never really had any motivation to go. Ah well... At any rate, I woke up alone. Meandered about to see if anyone else was actually still here, but didn't want to wake anyone up in the process. So, as a result, I sat and watched TV. About an hour later I went up and ate breakfast, at which point my mom came home. She started talking a little bit about how it was to help the elderly. It sounded pretty good. A while after that she then started talking about the rest of the family. We didn't really do any decorations, and I didn't get anyone a gift. I feel bad, but also it's... kind of late now. At any rate, our current family only consists of those that still live here. My mother, myself, my brother Allan and my brother Charles. My dad is still more or less banned from the house - he said he was going to come over but hasn't shown up yet. My other brother is still in Florida, I think, and my sister is spending Christmas with her husband's side of the family. So... that just kind of leaves the awkward side of the family here. I haven't really talked to my dad for about a month, and the last time he called me I hung up on him. My relations with my family are incredibly awkward by my own doing. I have a greater urge to go up and spend the day with the Jones family, but can't do that because then I'd just simply feel bad... As a result, I sit here and type this, waiting for something exciting to happen - or even just something to do. In a couple of hours we'll be going over for dinner. After that, I hope to leave and go spend some time with some friends. I'd probably go insane otherwise.

The holidays aren't as bad as I make them sound, though. It really is a wonderful time to spend with family and friends, use that as an excuse to do such. I really do wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and I apologize I didn't get anyone else a gift

Have an excellent day of cheer and joy for the season, and don't let anything faze you on this holiday.
