“Jason hid in our bedroom with biscuits and Dr. Who on iPlayer. He is anti-guest at the best of times so it was to be expected. He has already started worrying about the fact that all the children are coming home over Christmas. He has the ability to socialise for about six hours a week maximum.” Read “Joel” for “Jason” and this too is my life. Hard relate. Such a joyful read Katy ❤️ thank you
I've come to not loathe Christmas exactly, but to actively avoid it, and this year have reached the dizzy heights of having nobody to please for the first time in my life; my daughter having recently disowned me after 30 years of what I assume must've been endurance.
If I 'had to' celebrate the season, I would be eating biscuits with Dr Who and Jason. He sounds sane.
Spreadsheets for the win! I’m conflicted about Christmas this year, having traveled every other week to stay with my mother after my father had a rather debilitating stroke after Thanksgiving last year (I don’t think he got the rehab that he needed because he was 91, but that’s a story for another day). I’m emotionally exhausted and I don’t want to go “home” for Christmas, even though it will be the first Christmas after my father died in August. Holidays are fraught.
May all work out well for your family and may one and all be jolly!

It all sounds eminently sensible. And Joel definitely has the right idea. Enjoy it!

Hugs love. I fucking love Christmas but this year we are having FIVE, scattered through December and one in January
Luckily I'm only hosting one. The rest are relatively chill. But yeah. Christ. This cold can also gtf too, I'm rivers of snot and headaches
