Dreading them. I love the decorations (lights), the music is fine. But I know that this year I won't be actually celebrating T-giving, Hanukah, Christmas, or my birthday. The older people in my family are dead, my son and his gf will be traveling to Japan, and for some reason that is completely unknown to me, my daughter has decided she despises me and has stopped speaking to me. It has something to do with her husband hating his mother and strongly influencing my obviously extremely impressionable daughter to hate me.

My husband and I don't live together, and are more apt to argue than enjoy.


The only thing I can think of doing for the holiday season is having my hair done. It's pathetic, really.
