Hate the Holdiays

I hate the holidays there I said it you can crucify me and you can leave me out of your plans I'm the scroogiest of scrooges as time goes on I want my time to myself I want Christmas vacation to recover from my job morbidity I don't want to visit chat, exchange cookies or have meals with your family or mine no thinks I hate the holidays there, I said it you can recoil in horror I don't really care you can buy endless gifts for ungrateful people you can speak endless nothings and compliment people you hate but I wont join you.

The holidays can become something that you don't want them to be if you let it get out of hand. It is fun having a few days off from our regular routine or job and enjoy family and cookies and not doing anything pressing just resting. Hope that you will enjoy your Christmas vacation. Keep the magical pen flowiing. Sara

Dearest Veronica (Scrooge...lol) Holidays can get so overwhelming if the people that you surround yourselves with are into the commercial end of things without remembering to worship God and show true caring love to family (gifts or no gifts) Commercialism has ruined the worshiping of the Lord for many. I do understand the sentiments in your poem. Be happy. Lovingly, Dane Ann

"Job morbidity" can take all of the joy out of the holidays, Veronica. Wish you could take that Christmas vacation you want. The holidays I've disliked the most were those I spent alone, but work-related stress can really make you long for some peace and quiet. Love, Carolyn
