Reply To: [unofficial weekender] 2 month Christmas warning

Oh gawd, why did he have to go and mention the C word.

Now I’m feeling the palpitations in my chest.

The expense of having to buy pressies. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, having to host family over the Christmas period. Several frigging times! Compounded by the fact that I’m married to an overly generous and sociable woman who insists on lavishing our family with presents and time. And then the inevitable aftermath – January Xmas PTSD. And the long awkward silences around my wife who will no doubt still be simmering over at least one Christmas family argument, probably not caused by me but will still be my fault by default. But I digress (therapeutically).

Pledge: To move the construction work in my games room forward – it has laid untouched for many months now after I gutted it and installing velux windows over the summer.

Secondary pledge:  to maintain my grip on what’s left of my sanity (really – if you knew certain members of my family you would understand).

Bah Humbug to you all!
