Something’s not right
Hi @Former-Member ,
You didn't dampen my Xmas spirit at all. I think we are on pretty similar pages with it. I'm feeling less and less enthused about it myself. It's a really positive way that you participate in xmas, by helping others less fortunate. Good on you. I've never gone through a whole lot of trouble with christmas, but, I have watched others do it frequently. It's also a shame that half the food normally ends up going to waste. I think having it in the height of summer doesn't help the cause.
Like most holidays, it has become a commercial exercise and a way of squeezing money out of people that often can't really afford it. It worries me that people feel pressured into participating in something that will then leave them broke or even in debt for weeks and months to follow. It is nice to watch younger people get excited about it, but, other than that I could sleep through it quite comfortably 🙂
I am still formulating plans for xmas, most likely it will be very akward time with my sister in law, I think even worse than last year. Most people think she is a saint with the way she cares for my brother, but, i see it vastly different. Wish I could just go away to my farm for the whole holidays instead of wasting days waiting for xmas to come around. I should bite the bullet and let everyone do there own thing. It's not like I would be missed very much by anyone.
I have bought some polymer clay that I might play with this weekend. Need to do some testing and make sure its the type that can be baked. I'll be pretty unhappy if its not lol 🙂 I plan on making some pens for my diamond painting if all goes to plan. The normal pens are very thing and not very comfy to use.
I feel like I finally got some help from my GP yesterday, probably a year later than it should of been. Hoping new meds help Me as I am struggling with things.
It's really nice to hear from you again. Hope you have a good day today 🙂 
Heya @Gazza75 and @Former-Member hearing you on the Xmas front, really can be an emotional churner for many of us. Thanks heaps for having this conversation and sharing the experience for both of you Our Topic Tuesday next week is relevant to this, if it helps at all the link is here 🙂 Have a good day you two!
