So after the bullshit day I’ve had, this fucking Christmas thing comes back up again. My brother in law kinda got up my and the Mrs sat there are just said nothing despite multiple requests for her input.
Yeah… good thing we’ve got a couples therapy session coming up. To say I’m pissed off and hurt is an understatement.
The spreadsheet of gifts has already started on this end. I need to get up to three gifts for each person (One from wife and I, then 1-2 from the kids). There are two Christmas parties this year, and the in-law side is going to be so big this year, the adults are doing a secret santa to reduce the gift load at least amongst ourselves.
That leaves me buying 25-35ish gifts just for the extended family. Not including the four of us. Experience has taught me that leaving the shopping to the last week before Christmas is a terrible plan. Oh! And the final week of November has a kids’ birthday, Sister’s birthday, Niece’s birthday, Father-in-law’s birthday and our Wedding Anniversary. Gotta get through all that before I really start stressing about Christmas.

far out that is… yeah no way I’d be into that.
This is why I hate xmas, everyone just seems to use it as a reason to hate you, for failing to meet terms that only exist in their mind.
