It's approaching T-Giving here in the US. I have Thursday & Friday off next week. As of now, the questions are coming. "What will you be doing this T-Giving?" I have always hated to be asked that question. I get that at work mostly. Well, I am going to be by myself, so that's what I'll be doing. I try to avoid an opportunity to get asked that question.

And when it's over, there's Christmas, and I get asked that again. I don't want to tell anyone that I will be alone for the holidays. I'm personally OK at spending T-Giving by myself, but Christmas is harder. If I asked the question back at someone who had asked me, then they would say that they'd be with their families and stuff. Like I really need to hear that!

I was invited by my friend for T-Giving. His family (son, daughter, and their sig. others) will be there. I don't want to go. I find that being with others and their families to be rather awkward. I've done it before; and the last time I did, I told myself that I would never do it again. Besides, I like preparing the dinner the same way that my family did. Anything else doesn't seem as good to me.
