[QUOTE="witzend, post: 109900, member: 99"] The Christmas ornaments haven't been used in years. They were just a dusty reminder that no one loves us enough to include us in Christmas. No one comes to our home, and no one invites us. Oh, L stops by for half an hour or so on her way to her "real" Christmas celebrations to pick up gifts, but that was all so false. She should have Christmas if it means something to her, but I'm tired of pretending that it has meant anything other than sadness to me for many many years. Better to pretend it doesn't exist, I figure. And yes. I'm seeing a therapist. Every one I've ever seen tells me they're toxic and to leave them alone. I do. But how do you ask anyone to choose Christmas as a boring night at your house that takes 5 minutes to open gifts then old videos over a house full of 40 people and children and your favorite foods and celebration. Even if half of them [i]are[/i] a bunch of worthless louts? You can always find at least one that's entertaining enough to talk to for an hour or so. Marcie, I don't know how put up with it for two weeks. I haven't spoken to them for two minutes in 9 years and they're still making me doubt my sanity. [/QUOTE]
