This year has been especially hard for me to get into the Christmas spirit. I am having way too many "Bah-Humbug" moments. Maybe because I am financially strapped and can't give what I normally would or maybe there is something else. I can't put my finger on anything in particular. I have a good life. I have a loving husband who adores me, my bills are miraculously getting paid, although nothing is left over, and I have my health.
I think one of the black spots is there is inner turmoil in my extended family. I am a natural born peace keeper, as though that know me would agree. I am really tired of trying to fix everything. It is exhausting talking to some people and having to censor myself...."Can't we all just get along" I know it is cliche, but seriously!
Everyone involved in the turmoil is so pig headed it is so frustrating. Christmas is a time of year to put your own animosities and feelings aside to come together to be with loved ones. At its root Christmas is about family coming together and creating memories.
If Thanksgiving is any indication, I don't want those memories, lol!
