I really, really hate this time of year. I think the only thing saving me from not losing it entirely is the fact that it's inexplicably warm in Michigan right now.
I actually think my husband and I are skipping Thanksgiving this year. Anyone else?

I use to celebrate holidays. I would get all stressed abt having all the ingredients to recipes. Having food ready on time time to take to who's ever house dinner was served at. Christmas was stressful too. Buying gifts for everyone. Then I tried to get the family to pull names. Finally I just bought for kids. Now I'm like f*** it. I do not celebrate any holidays period. Problem solved.

I could care less. Each year i think I get more and more jaded. And not having my grandma around anymore doesn't help. My mom wants to know what I'm doing for thanksgiving, and honestly i don't want to do anything. I don't feel like going to my uncle's house with her. I don't particularly want to do anything for Christmas either. Bah humbug!

Every time I've ended up in IP was this time of year! My mom passed November 16th, and my grandpa (her father) on the 17th. I feel more for my grandma because she's all alone. But I'm not one to lean on this time of year. Usually an episode of self medicating ends me up in the ER or getting escorted out of my home by police. Woohoo

Yep, I also hate the holidays! Always have, my mom is coming for thanksgiving. I'm kinda glad, that way I won't be guilt tripped by other family members to come home!

Used to don't like the holidays. People coming and gathering around just because it's a holiday, just because it's holiday? Really? What about the other days?. But finally realized that it doesn't matter who comes, even if it's just a day, it's well worth it if at least you have a reason to celebrate it with it.

Not a fan of Christmas because it's very stressful to me. Thanksgiving will be ok because on Thanksgiving day I just have to show up and eat at my dad's. My brother is not coming in from out of town, so nothing will really be at my house. I'll miss them though. My mom and little brother will probably stay the night with me either the following day or Saturday. It's kind of fun because they could care less what my house looks like. We usually order pizza and my mom brings crafts to do sometimes. Last year, my mom and I baked cookies, ordered pizza, and made beaded Christmas ornaments. My little brother played video games with my son. It was a lot of fun since I don't get to do stuff with my mom very often.
