ICT: (sorry, I have a lot of confessing to do today....)
I don't feel like decorating for Christmas. Life is just too hectic to get in the Holiday spirit. And I really hate feeling like this. I'm going to light a candle, put on some Christmas music. Maybe that will help. :confused:

ICT that I was unreasonably upset to hear Christmas music and to see Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving. I'm still not ready but the music is nice. All I've done to prepare is clean. ;) Shop a little.

I know, right? It's strange to have Halloween costumes in one row, and Christmas stuff in the next. I just feel like it gets shoved down my throat sometimes. Ugh - I guess I'm just feeling kinda rebellious today. :devil:

I'm serious I was at the mall (outside mall) and saw all that and I'm txting my friends WTF is THIS? I feel that way too. If Santa would have stuck his head out I would have drop kicked him. :heart:
 
ICT I really don't like the holidays. Working retail for six years killed the Christmas spirit in me. And I hate being told that I don't love my wife enough because I won't spend money I really don't have to buy her a sparkly trinket. Jewelry store ads really piss me off this time of year.

Me too I'd rather have computer related stuff and of course lingerie. I'm pretty practical for the most part. I always appreciate what my son gets me more than anyone. He'll get me a video game I love. A gift certificate to Barnes & Noble and Starbucks. Those are the kinds of things I like.

Oh the best gift I got last year came from my best friend. She bought a little photo album and took pics of me and my kids and on each page wrote why I was such a wonderful friend and mother. I keep that in my front room and reread it when I feel low.

Only sparkly thing I care about is the jewelry my mother left me. I wear her rings and her pearls.

And God knows, if you dont get your kids the newest, best Video game console they will need YEARS of therapy to figure out why their parents just didn't love them enough, right?! WTF? I hate that shit. I would much rather give and receive a truly personal, heartfelt gift from someone. Even something made by their hand, and their creativity. Ugh. Sorry - climbing off my soapbox now.

Gifts from the heart are always the best. My favorite gift I ever got from my wife is a scarf she wove for me. It gets a lot of use this time of year!

ICT cold weather (by California standards), the holidays, stupidity at work, and lingering feelings of rejection don't do a lot of good things for the ol' self esteem. I'm a real downer to be around right now.

I'm right there with you, Anita! I'd rather have something from the heart than the newest, most expensive doodad. Handmade gifts are among the best in my opinion.

(in keeping with the tone of the thread)

I confess that it annoys me when people ask you what you want and you tell them what you actually need and they get all offended by it. For example:
Last year and most of this year I was laid off and out of work. When Christmas came around I was asked by a few members of my family if there's anything I wanted. My response was that I appreciated the gesture but if they really wanted to do something for me what I needed was cash (and this is still the case this year, as I'm still paying off the debts I accrued over the last year). The reply I got was "That's so impersonal! And it's not about what you need- it's what you want!"

Okay, then allow me to rephrase. I WANT to have a roof over my head. I WANT to have food to eat, electricity, running water, heat, etc. And, personally, helping to provide someone with the basic essentials to sustain life in this world is hardly impersonal- in fact, it's about as personal as you can get without donating a major organ to them. Is it really that offensive to ask for money if that's what you need/want more than anything? I mean, what good are any gifts if I have to just return them to make rent money, and especially when the best I'll probably get is a store credit that does me no good when they come to shut off the water service?
 
What kind of video games do you play?

I don't now but have gotten way hooked on Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. I mean HOOKED. Now I've gotten another bad habit. ;)

My son bought me one of the Harvest Moon games that had a girl farmer. It was fun I had her with my color hair and everything.

No, please, get back on your soapbox...I can see up your skirt when you're on it! ;)

are your family truly aware of your financial predicament?? if they are and still not listening when you say you need the money more than anything, then that's pretty unfair of them. but if they truly don't know how tough you're doing it, then they can't be blamed for wanting to spoil you with something nice as opposed to the necessities....
maybe just hand them one of your bills and ask them to pay it for you as a family christmas present. did that with my family last year. they understood and it really helped out. and the stress relief was the best christmas present ever.
