i agree. I like it coz yes I spend time with my family etc but I do hate it (and hate it even more this year) just coz of the arguments that do happen. In my family it always always ends up being a stressful time. Every year though I get really excited about it till only a few days before xmas because of the stress it holds at times. We never had much money but mum always liked to spend just abit too much money so yeah there's one argument there already.. and the fact that dads family are just bitches and we just had to spend xmas with them else we'd be cut off etc.. well there you go. It just never is a full on happy time with the family, seeing cousins you see once a year etc. This year will be even more sadder coz now mum won't be there. I am still looking forward to it though coz I'm out of home and I am excited to see my family. I totally understand about the money though. All I'm getting from dad is a $50 gift voucher for a food shop. I don't mind really. It means one weeks worth of food.. but on another forum their talking about spending hundreds of dollars on their kids and its like :( coz yeah.. our family doesn't get to do that. And it annoys me when those people think they have nothing >_<
Ok no idea where I'm going with this. Totally understand Bee. I'm looking forward to it but I'm totally dreading it at the same time. *cuddles* Hope you can still enjoy the day either way. And you'll find alot of people hate it as well. For some it brings back bad memories, I have a friend who's ex husband left her on xmas. So it's totally natural for her to hate it as well. And, if you want, no doubt I'll be online at some stage on that day so if I'm on and you wanna talk, your more then welcome =)
