waving the white flag
i'm giving up when it comes to christmas guilt. i have accepted that i will not bake a single christmas cookie this year. i will not give sending cards another thought. i will not have time to finish christmas shopping until the day of christmas eve, and that's just the way that it is. the christmas lights on the front of the house (still there from last year's haphazard hanging!) will not get plugged in, to which i say, tough nougies.
christmas sucks lice-ridden monkey balls without hans. my only goal is to wake up christmas morning with the love of my life. i hope justin won't mind. (of course, i'm kidding - i just want to be with him christmas morning.) i will maybe go to justin's grandmother's for dinner after he has to go to work that day, if i feel like it. if i don't, i will not worry what his family thinks. i think that we have managed to put our tree up and to get 5/6 of the shopping done is a freaking christmas miracle, frankly.
and if little z is still with us on christmas day - well, that would be the best christmas miracle ever.

Yay! Someone else to join me in the Bah Humbug parade. I am SO ready for Christmas to just be OVER.
I say bah humbug every year, but last year was particularly humbuggerish. I applaud the attempt people make to do what they do, but I applaud more loudly the things that the grieving do to indicate that they are hurting and exhausted and that things are NOT as they should be so why pretend that they are!?
I have presents for two people only and will probably be out at 11pm christmas eve to do the rest.
But I've always been like that and don't have a particular reason to do it. Just joining in on the bah-humbuggery is all.
And hoping like crazy that Little Z is here Christmas day too.
Yes, it is GREAT that you have gotten that done.
I hate all of the pressure put on people during the Christmas season to do too much.
Your blog is refreshing to many.
Praying that little Z will be there on Christmas day.

I'm with you. My Christmas present to myself this year? Abstaining from all the hoopla.
Hoping you have a nice, peaceful holiday season with z.
I'm glad you surrendered. Take care of you & Z. Well, Justin too, but that's it. No one else really matters.
