A Very Unmerry Christmas
I woke this morning feeling there was something wrong,couldn’t place it but it nagged and nagged me all day.I said to myself,”Don’t worry Kathy it will work it self out.” soI went to bed.This morning it dawned on me It was all this hype about Christmas all the goody goody people coming out of the woodwork telling me to have a lovely time and think about others who may be alone.I don’t want to feel all this joy and niceness,just leave me alone to be the sad,miserable ,old self that I am.
Have you thought how hard it is for me,someone thats never had a christmas,who looked at other kids on christmas morning riding on their brand new bikes ,pushing their new prams with their lovely new dolls.There’s lots of us out there,don’t want anything to do with this thing called christmas.Soon as it gets anywhere near December ,all these do gooders seem to appear from no where,and now its November they all start.Wont be long till they are thinking of Christmas as soon as Easter is over.
Have you though why it was Dickens wrote “Christmas Carol “because he knew that people like you would all start thinking about fixing up people, like me and others that feel like Scrooge.Now I tell you,leave us alone ,its been going on far longer than you or I,so your not going to fix it.
I like nothing more than to sit at home on my own, waiting till the last bit of tinsel,and last sound of jingle bells are all packed off into their boxes and put away till the next silly season.I like to look at my dinner table and eat what I like,none of this exotic seafood and duck or pork will sit on my table,no just plain beans on toast will do.I get a warm feeling when I think I have mastered the art of ignoring all of you once again.There is a large number of us waiting to take you on,one of these Christmases.We will stand in unison and strike back ,leave us alone in out misserary,we shall chant.
The most rewarding time for us is when we look at our bank balances, see we have saved a great big amount of money,while you have all gone into debt.That brings us the rewards of hope and goodwill that you all give so much of at this time of year.
So I suppose you really have succeeded in bringing this good feeling to us after all.so have a Merry Christmas till next year?
Kathy, I think you are as nice as can be all year round and maybe being told to be nicer at Christmas means little or nothing and you don’t need to hear it. I try to enjoy what I can the pretty lights, a good assortment of robes and house slippers in stores, or some end of season bargain boots and coats; that is about when I need some of those things. I also love exotic foods, can’t help myself, but I try to stay out of stores and away from people who make me uncomfortable. Sometimes I, too, feel like saying, “Bah humbug”.
With you 100%, Mac.
You’ve said all the things I felt like saying, but never had the guts, or the words to say. Thank you.
Way it was a joke as to my Christmas but I knew there were people out there that felt this way so I tried to portray their thoughts.Thinking how you all must feel about pushing all this good cheer your way .thanks for reading my blog cxx

Oh i think I have failed in my attempt to write this,I was just joking.I have a wonderful Christmas with my family,but I never go into debt for it.I try to encuorage the kids that its them and the idea of giving thats important.But I was trying to convey that lots do not feel the same as everyone else about it.
🙂 what you need is me for a Christmas holiday mac. Would get me out of cooking for my lot 🙂 xxxx
You going to cook for mine later you?thanks Sasha

Seems like that’s a “Gotcha” then Mac, but I stand by my statement “Bahh Humbug”!!! So there!

Didn’t mean to “Getcha” Way just wanted to show that you guys were out there bahh humbug ,back lol xxxxxxx
Way…….I do understand you……Christmas has got way out of control…..like many other things…..and people go along with it…..I personally have a simple Christmas with my family…..much the same as all year round and I don’t have to be told to love people at Christmas…..why just at Christmas?…..many people are glad when it is over….because of the hype I think….I know I am….it’s been hijacked….a money spinner…..I think mac was joking…..but there is some truth in what was said….I have never fallen into the ‘Christmas Trap’…….I don’t even have a credit card…..we just enjoy seeing family and friends…..am I any happier at Christmas?…..no of course not….I aim to be joyfull all year round…..

Mac phewww…………you had me worried there……….just didn’t know how to answer your blog……..thought it was strange because you have grandchildren……….children, grandchildren………that’s what it’s all about……..but have to say…………my favourite time is seeing the buds starting to appear on the trees……….but yes Christmas, i enjoy it when it’s here……….Christmas greetings to you and your family Mac. xx
I felt the same as you Star. I was worried on how to answer Mac’s blog…
My question to all the Bah Humbug’s in here…Have you always felt this way about Christmas? Or has it come with old age?
Interesting Blog Mac. x
As one of the named group, Pass, the answer is yes.
Cathy, Very interesting blog. I have always spend xmas with my family but when I lost Ed, that first Christmas with him would have been really hard but I went to Alabama and spend it with my family and my 3 month old grandson Ryan, so that made it very special for me but wished Ed had got to see his grandson.
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww mac u had me there merry christmas young lady xxx
couldn,t believe youmac, thought it was a joke, you are one of the most loving people on chat, and with your family, you care for them, nourish them and beleive in them, i bet all the littlies around wish you were their Gran.xxxx
As to christmas guys, I love it, it brings out the best in most, and isn,t that what it,s supposed to do, and to make little sacrifices to make sure those less fortunate than ourselves , to teach us to love one another? as we all should during the year, but for those of us who find that a little hard, the Christmas season just makes it a little easier to make the effort to be kind to others..
o.k. lani just put the put the soap box back in the garage he he .xxx
