Later, she pukes with envy under the toilet paper roller in the bathroom over couples without kids having a peaceful holiday season, unwinds the whole roll of toilet paper on the pile, and nestles the Elf on the Shelf in it.Quote

Her response was along the lines of "lol, we're not going to have a peaceful holiday around here for some time".

However, there are some aspects of X-mess I like. Some of the music, making cards (and sometimes gifts), and oddly enough, wrapping stuff. I don't know why, but wrapping stuff and making it look pretty is fun. Sometimes I'll fuck with my friends and wrap a gift ten times and draw stuff on each layer and watch them pick off each layer. It's a waste of paper, I know, but it's funny. Speaking of cards, I have to go stock up on paper, cardboard and glue if I'm gonna get them made and mailed in time.

There are no words for how I dread the last two months of the year. I love Hallowe'en, loathe Thanksgiving and Christmas. My first DH and I sometimes would go to relatives houses for holidays, but many years we'd just stay home and have a nice, quiet holiday , just us , our doggies, and a holiday meal. But DH 2 wants to go to his parent's house for every holiday on the calender including Arbor day and Groundhog day* , and for holidays where the out of towners don't come too, it's tolerable, but for the Big Two? A house full of famblee, including noisy kids, nowhere to sit down, tv blaring, me just wanting to go home and read....UGH!
Yeah, I know, but it's only The Four Bad Days each year, so it's not a hill to die upon.
*OK, OK, that's a slight exaggeration, sue me.

I actually find wrapping gifts quite satisfying, and I'm (not to brag) I'm really damn good at it.
I rarely buy supplies for cards...I save interesting paper, pages from magazines, and other odds and ends for them, over the course of months. The result is some really cool mosaic/collage cards. It's a lot of fun.

I have also noticed, when I go to the maul, how bedraggled and miserable all the parunts look. It's something I observe and think, "Thank God that isn't me."
I am sooo glad that I can enjoy a quiet Xmess with my new husband and relax. My aunt is having us over on Boxing Day, so we get the rest of the Holidays to ourselves.
