Christmas 2015

Bah-humbug
Try to do something nice, then it turns into a pain in the ass.
My wife said, since we were gone over Thanksgiving and back home
just 2-1/2 weeks before Christmas, forget the decorations....
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
So last night, while she was on a late night job assignment, I
hung two Christmas decorations on our single tree out front.
Awwwwww... So sweet.
But Noôooooooooooooo. She is out there tonight, in the dark and
wants to hang ALL the usual decorations.
Phuck!!!!
Seriously, what the hell happened. It's dark. It's cold and I'm
tired.
Dammit woman!

I'm still dragging my feet on presents, I wanna get this done as
soon as possible so I can hunker down and enjoy X-mas. But I
have no idea what to get anyone. My mom told me recently I
always think of good presents, and I have no idea how, I always
feel like I'm settling because I keep wracking my brain,
stretching it as far as I can in order to think of something.
For this year, I'm determined not to get my sister anything
hedgehog-gy. She has too much of that stuff as it is and when
Daisy dies (we had a little scare recently), she'll just have an
apartment full of reminders. No sir, not gonna let that happen.
The big thing that strikes me every year is what few shops I go
to, I never make the effort to go do a distant mall or
something, a big trek to get gifts that I couldn't find anywhere
else. I wouldn't even know where to look. But I keep thinking
"how can I expect to find something special on a place we all go
to all the time?" I still subscribe to that childish
expectation that Christmas should be unique form the rest of the
year, the gifts you give and get on Christmas can only come from
that little narrow band of time, like it's a special little
pocket universe we all fall into every year, a better one, where
the normal rules don't apply and decency, kindness and going
above and beyond in the name of love and friendship are the
norm.

Sounds like your over-thinking it. Keep it simple.
Just think back to what those folks may have expressed their
interest in. Maybe a tangent idea will materialize.

Well, our Christmas just took another big hit, grandma died. 90
years old. Really hung in there. Mom didn't even get to see
her before she passed, but she and Em are going up to be with
the family. Zero conversation about the fact that *I* had to
stay behind and hedgie-sit. Drafted into the one-man
sh1t-scooping brigade.
But this totally destroys Em's plans to go see dad and that side
of the family, she was looking forward to it (and she would have
had a great time), but she's also done zero shopping, so it
looks like there's a chance we might not be doing Christmas at
all this year. Which is a real 11th hour turn of events.

Our family on my mom's side is weird, they're big but they're
not close. Mom left home at thirteen, if you can believe it,
and the age difference between her and her siblings was
pronounced enough that they never really got on. So she's going
through some weird stuff emotionally that's going to be tricky
to navigate. And Em, she's all gung ho about having a big
family and being close to everyone, so... it'll be interesting
to see what happens with her.
