I don't like it here. It's not like I thought it would be. When I was little, I always thought it would be great to know things, to be able to do things, to have responsibility, to have some control, to understand............ But the older I get the less I know, the less I can do, the less control I have, the less real understanding I have, but I feel responsible for everything. This life sucks.
I've been thinking about Christmas the last few weeks. I used to love Christmas, when I was little. It was such a great time of the year. But the last few years, it's been not that great. Everything is so forced. Everything is so hectic. My parents are trying to get things perfect when there is no such thing. They're spending way too much money and way to much time on this. I'm ready for it to be over. This time of the year is becoming the NON-HOLIDAY. I'd rather just spend time with the family than have such a gloomy dark cloud over everything and everyone. Maybe have everybody spend the day together, just being together. It's the first Christmas with Shea and my brother-in-law, and it would be great just to be a family in one place for that day.
I decided that I don't want anything this year. I know that there will be a few token presents (clothes), but that's suppose to be it. I asked my parents to spend their money buying presents for the little kids in the hospital. And I don't know why but I feel better about things. I don't feel good that my parents decided to spend the money they had set aside for their presents to each other for this too. Well I do feel good about it but I wouldn't have felt bad if they had bought presents for each other. They deserve some presents for having to put up with me.
Maybe it is better to give than to receive. But maybe only for people who don't really want something. I wouldn't have minded a new PC and they were going to get it for me. But as long as this one last, I'm fine. I really don't want anything. Anyway, I think little kids, especially sick little kids, need presents at this time of year.

I still enjoy Christmas... still my fav holiday. But that's because my family keeps it simple. I go over there in the morning. We open presents and then have breakfast while watching a Christmas story. I go back to my place to shower, etc. then I go back there around 1-ish for dinner. I spend the afternoon and early evening there. All we do is chill and watch tv or play board games and talk. Just being together. I make a point of getting one modest gift for everyone and they generally do the same. If they ask me for a Christmas list, I say make a donation in my name to one of these charities (and I give a list of two or three). That keeps things in the right spirit. After all, pretty much anything I truly need, I already have.
One more example of why Kier was one in a million.
