Christmas in general...

[superxcrewfx4]

I just cant get into the holiday spirit. I mean every other year before I bought a house it was great, I used to be the best gift giver but now with credit cards, mortgage and the like its just no fun anymore. I have stopped using the credit cards for sometime now and being broke just plain sucks.

I don't even want to get a tree, I just cant get into the spirit. I love to watch my nephew enjoy Christmas and my dads been helping me with stuff and I cant even begin to repay him for all that he has helped me with and I feel really bad that I cant get him something really nice to show my appreciation... I never ask for help and he just sees that I do and he comes to fix stuff with me and help me out in general. Without him I wouldn't have a new furnace or air conditioner amongst other things. I could have paid for it on one of those low interest rate credit card checks but he stopped me and forced a check in my hand, 2500 bucks was 2500 bucks and it was a deal but I felt like crap for taking it, it actually made me cry. I have never ever taken money in all 28 years that I can remember.

I dont know why I make this post but I am at work as usual and its just bah humbug to me right now... Maybe its because I am single or because I work all the time. Just wish I could get into the spirit...

if you ask me, You aint missing much! Christmas is for the kids, as long as they have a good time and enjoy it, thats all I care for. Me, could care less about it...I hate tring to go to the store for a simple purchase....takes forever. People are to preoccupied singing or humming not paying attention to what they are supposed to be doing.

It dont bother me being called Mr Grinch!

Be thankful and do the best you can. Get him a pocket knife or something. Anything coming from a son is great especially a hug. I just left the hospital for reasons I won't share here but be very thankful. My nephew would love to just have your problems, I know I wished he did, I'd easily parted with money to help him out.
