Oh dear its X-mas already. Ugg. Its so filled with joy and happiness and all things red and green(personally i think the worst color combination ever) and eggnog and bad white beards and that meshpucha (family in yiddish) and the manger and all the Chotchkies you could possibly imagine. All I know about Christmas is what i have learned from my past girlfriends who were not Jewish and feeling left out in grade school and everything in between which I learned from my wife and her family and friends.
Honestly, God had a plan for me... for sure he made me Jewish for a reason. Trimming a tree is fun and wrapping is fun but OY what a mess that tree makes and the ornaments. Just seems like a hassle on occasions and it seems that many people dread it. What really gets my goat is the music. Boy Oh Boy - even the most Christmasy of Christmas people get annoyed with those songs! I prefer a BAD CHRISTMAS SWEATER over a Christmas song any day.
I suppose my recent falling out with my wife's family well really with my wife's sister in law has kinda forced me to re-evaluate the Christmas conundrum. I have pretty much gotten over that and realize I don't have to have anything to do with her except on those special occasions so I'm good. Last Christmas I drank almost 3 bottles of champagne on a pretty empty stomach so Christmas was great regardless of what happened. I was recently told by a friend who has a SIL that she does not jive with or as she puts it her least fav SIL she recommended a few Klonopin. Its comforting knowing that I am not the only one who has this problem.
GRIN AND BARE GRIN AND BARE!
HAPPY HANUKKAH ALL!
