I'm sorry ahead of time if this offends anyone but I have to get this off my chest and rant.
Does it bug anyone else besides me when people constantly put down Christmas?!? Isn't this supposed to be the time of cheer and goodwill towards man?!? Well in my house it's not!!!!
Thanks to my bf and his mother.
I know that each person is intitled to their opinion and that not all people like Christmas but that doesn't mean they can go around putting it down everytime someone says something nice about Christmas or does something involving Christmas! My bf is not into Christmas the way I am, I absolutely LOVE Christmas, he doesn't he says it's a "money racket" which I can understand b/c it's become very commericalized the past few years. But I tell him I don't see it that way, it's about family, gifts yes, but also about carols, goodwill, cheer, great food, etc! I want to continue some of my family's traditions and I encourage him to tell me some of his family's as well, so that we can incorporate both into our own special Christmas traditions.
I know that my bf didn't have it the easiest growing up and that his family didn't put as much emphasis (sp?) on Christmas as my family did, and that's fine and I know that's part of the reason why he feels the way he does. And trust me this year, I'm going to try and make it a fantastic Christmas for him and make some good memories! But it really pees of me off when he goes on about how Christmas is all money...what a SCROOGE! Men..ugh! Half the time I don't think he means it and only says it to get a rise out of me
Which gives me hope.
But when his Mom comes over, she starts the same thing but she's dead serious, all the time! It seems like very time I say something good about Christmas she gets this look on her face, as if to say "Oh no, not this crap again"! And I find it very disrespecful. Am I right in feeling this way? I know it's her son's apartment too but that doesn't mean she can come in and put down something that I like or so obviously enjoy! Each to their own, she's made it clear she's not a Christmas person so keep to herself when she's at our apartment. I told my bf the same thing, please keep the Christmas bashing to a minimum b/c I so enjoy it, and it makes me really happy, so please don't ruin it for me (and I told him to tell his mom the same thing). And I must say he's been good but we haven't seen his mom since.
*Sigh* I so want this to be a great Christmas and I determind to make it one, no matter what! Could I trouble you guys to send some Christmas spirit vibes this way?
And on a better note:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday time!
