You know, your positive attitude is just wrong, T!!
So, i was thinking about it more and decided i needed some balance, so here...
Since becoming an adult and deciding for myself where & with whom i'd spend the holidays around, there have been some nice ones (i hate to admit it). i remember one thanksgiving with a friend's family....they all went around and said what each person was thankful for. That was cool.
And the aforementioned ex....one year for xmas dinner, she made a....can't remember the name of it.....it was like a low country boil, but in a red sauce.
Our Leather Family was there, and we all wore garbage bags as bibs. That was fun....a lot of fun. i have a picture of that somewhere....
And each year the Family gets together in Dec for a celebration. This year we'll be bringing a new member (and an old friend to most of us) into the clan. i look forward to that.
i really don't like hearing people say they "have" to go to a family get together even if they don't want to, just because it's family and what they do.
Everyone should have the personal freedom to do what they *want* to do, not what's expected of them.
And do it free of guilt!! And with no excuses or even explanations....
"no mama/granny/whoever, i wont be making it this year, but i'll see you soon, ok!" Took me several years of practice, but i was able to finally start doing that. It was GREAT!
