Hate the holidays! I wasn't raised with them, but I celebrate now with my husband and son. I always thought they were like the movies and magical. Every year I hope that this will be the year that everything is magical and all the family is together and merry! Ha! Since I can no longer drink, my in-laws really don't know what to do with me (they drink a lot but aren't alcoholics). We moved to another city a few years ago and they barely ever come see us and in fact, they skipped this one. So, it's just me, my husband and son, and BIL. They are all really close and have inside jokes and play nerd games! LOL

So, here I am sitting on the couch by myself watching "cake wars". Another holiday that is nothing like I thought they would be. I'm dreading Christmas already. I'm already working on my excuse to not go. It's just depressing.
