So I feel like I should explain something. I’m not talking about God in these posts, well I might, but not the God your thinking of. “God” and “Oreo’s” are inside jokes and probably will never be anything mentioned about either in this blog. Just know that I know God. He is in hiding on earth and he is my friend. Ya. I’m friends with God and even his personal assistant/secretary. Don’t mess with me. Oreo’s are just how babies are made. Don’t ask.
Now down to business. My absolute biggest pet peeve is doing anything Christmas before Thanksgiving or even worse, Halloween. That is a BIG NO NO! I can’t stand people putting up Christmas decorations or playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving! It’s not right! It’s like people are forgetting one of the most wonderful holidays all about great food!
My Favorite holidays, in order, are Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Did you notice that it’s in sequence? That’s not on purpose but it’s amazing! As soon as October hits I’m super happy until December 26th… besides this year. So last Sunday, October 30th, I was told that my dorm was going to be shut down and I had three days to figure out a new living situation and one week to move. My favorite holiday was ruined. The next day, October 31st, Halloween, I was depressed and it didn’t even feel like my favorite holiday. Wonderful right?
You: “You at least still have Thanksgiving and Christmas!”
Me: “Wrong. I don’t. I was just about to get to that.”
Yes. You read that right. I don’t get a Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.
You: “OMG! That’s so sad. Why?!”
Me: “I’m getting to it! Stop interrupting me!!!”
Anyways, I just got a new job and it requires me to work through the holidays. Usually not a big problem. I had to work through it last year but there’s one big difference now. I live three hours away from my home town and family. So this year while everyone goes home to eat nummy food and open presents, I’m going to be in my very empty apartment doing nothing unless I have work. Doesn’t sound too bad right? WRONG! None of my friends are going to be here and I’m going to eat soup for Thanksgiving dinner and wake up on Christmas all alone and wishing I was at my home, in new PJ’s eating scones and watching my family opening presents as I open mine and then sleeping the rest of the day. Wow writing this is making me realize the reality and it’s depressing me. Drat!
Some of you may think that I may be lucky caus I don’t have to deal with all that family stuff. Guys, stop hating on your family! I love my family. Sometimes I get annoyed with them but I LOVE Thanksgiving just because of the fact I get to spend time with my family. I love going to my grandma’s house and seeing my older brothers and their wives and kids. I love messing with my younger brother and watching stupid movies while the turkey cooks. I love how me and my older brothers will get yelled at by my mom because we get into the Veggies before dinner (which I don’t get. We’re hungry and eating vegetables. Why is that wrong mom?!), talking to my older sister on the phone because she’s states away from us, playing dolls with my nieces, etc. I love all of it and this year I have to miss it!
Christmas is a great time to spend with family too! I go to my grandma’s and we make a TON of homemade candy. I go to my Aunt’s house Christmas Eve for a dinner with family (I’ll admit I never like going and neither does my dad or younger brother but we still go caus it doesn’t feel right without going) and then get home and my parents give me a new pair of PJ’s which I LOVE! This year I’m going to miss eating scones Christmas morning and after opening presents sleeping for the rest of the day. Dang. This sucks!I get none of my holidays. What a depressing year.
So why do you guys care? Wasn’t I talking about my pet peeve? Yes I was. And then I went on a tangent. But back to my pet peeve. Don’t forget about the other holidays just because you want presents or are stressed caus you need to get presents. If we keep moving Christmas up months then it’ll be Christmas all year then it’ll lose its meaning! Wait until Black Friday to start playing Christmas music and putting up the tree.
Enjoy being with your family on Thanksgiving. Don’t rush things! Be happy that you get to spend time with your family and be glad you have a holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
P.S I’ll warn you now; don’t play Christmas music around me before Black Friday.
P.S.S I love you Kait! ;) (I promised you I’d mention your awesome self!)
