I am starting a Take Back Your Holidays Day... I hear a lot of "We have to..." in connection with the Holidays. We have to go here, do this, buy this, eat this....Because, what? You HAVE to? Who decides this? And what is UP with this needing to BE somewhere for the Holiday because if you are not you will be depressed? Huh? We've been bombarded with Xmas music since October. Walmart takes DOWN the Halloween things a few days before Halloween and puts up the Christmas things. People have gone nuts getting up at 5:00am for Black Friday sales. You HAVE to decorate your house a certain way, you HAVE to buy for people, you HAVE to send cards. Do you ever hear yourself saying "I get so stressed and worn out, there is so much I HAVE to do" "I get really depressed at the Holidays" or "I feel so guilty if I don't.." Get over it. No one can make you feel anything, you are the one taking that on. If you find yourself saying this season "I/we don't want to go...., but we have to" Stop one second. If you don't want to, don't. Take back the YOU. What DO you want to do? Is your family going to be, whatever, if you don't do something? Well, get this, they need to take you as you. If you don't want to, don't. Today isn't the day to be thankful for what you have. You should be waking up EVERY day thinking about that. Xmas is not the day you show the people you love how much you care abut them. You should be doing that EVERY day. All the time. And not by buying them something they don't need. Have the Holiday when you want it. You don't HAVE to have it on a specific day. Make it work for you, and for God's sake do what you WANT to do. What makes you happy. If you are feeling guilty about that, think real hard, you have some work to do. Rant over. Thanks for reading!

I hear a lot of “We have to…” in connection with the Holidays. We have to go here, do this, buy this, eat this….Because, what? You HAVE to? Who decides this?

We’ve been bombarded with Xmas music since October. Walmart takes DOWN the Halloween things a few days before Halloween and puts up the Christmas things. People have gone nuts getting up at 5:00am for Black Friday sales.

You HAVE to decorate your house a certain way, you HAVE to buy for people, you HAVE to send cards.

Do you ever hear yourself saying “I get so stressed and worn out, there is so much I HAVE to do” “I get really depressed at the Holidays” or “I feel so guilty if I don’t..”

Get over it. No one can make you feel anything, you are the one taking that on.

If you find yourself saying this season “I/we don’t want to go…., but we have to” Stop one second. If you don’t want to, don’t. Take back the YOU. What DO you want to do? Is your family going to be, whatever, if you don’t do something? Well, get this, they need to take you as you. If you don’t want to, don’t.

Today isn’t the day to be thankful for what you have. You should be waking up EVERY day thinking about that. Xmas is not the day you show the people you love how much you care abut them. You should be doing that EVERY day. All the time. And not by buying them something they don’t need.

Have the Holiday when you want it. You don’t HAVE to have it on a specific day. Make it work for you, and for God’s sake do what you WANT to do. What makes you happy.

If you are feeling guilty about that, think real hard, you have some work to do.

Rant over.

Thanks for reading!

Some petty BS between some members of my family was finally put to rest and I enjoyed having them all together and happy. Next up is amateur night. Everyone keep your wits about you on New Year's Eve. Have fun but come back safely. Then it's the long, grey slog through Winter. It SUCKS!!1 Well said.

Happy holidays everyone and be safe out there. There wasn’t much mocking going on there, but it was well said nonetheless. Happy holidays everyone and be safe out there.
