Christmas Madness

For the first time, the commercialism of the season is really wearing on me. It should be spending time with friends and family, not running around buying meaningless junk! I think giving a gift for the sake of giving a gift is ridiculous. No I don't need or want another pair of scissors (now 5) or another couple baking sheets. If you knew me, you would know I don't bake. No these gifts do not elevate your status in my mind, quite the opposite. Christmas is not a competition and news flash you are the only one competing!!

We were supposed to go over to my inlaws yesterday afternoon but the roads were worse than crap with accidents all over the place. We called and cancelled and will reschedule soon since this was supposed to be our Christmas with them before they go away. But it's probably a good thing because I just so need a break for fake family togetherness. Blech! Yeah that's another pet peeve, false people.
