Published Dec 15, 2008

We're really close to Christmas, and I'm feeling great, because I've not yet bought a single gift. We're going to the beach for Xmas, only getting a gift or two for each family member while we're there. My blog is about what pizzes you off about Christmas? Be honest and open up.

the fact that Christmas decorations go up directly following Halloween. That really irks me

Another thing that gets to me is my mother in law. She can not stand NOT knowing what she's getting and she hounds me relentlessly. She can not believe that I like to be surprised and don't care to try and find out what I'm getting and she is conastantly dropping hints.

AND, our family used to draw names and fill the stocking of the person whose name we drew. My MIL took all the fun out of it because she absolutely could NOT stand not knowing who had her name and made everyone around her miserable

Hmmm,,seems to be a MIL theme to my aggravation


Christmas is the only day of the year my dad would not work on the farm. He instilled a family tradition of gathering for a nice meal on Christmas Day. It ticks me that my mom still wants to do everything and stresses each Christmas 'cause she isn't physically able to cook for the entire family like she once could. We moved the gathering next door to bro's to ease some of the stress for her.

I just wish my mom would be at ease and let the children take care of her.

blahblah,,Lordy woman I know what you mean,,,that's my mom to a tee, and that's me sadly. Just do what you're doing, but do try to include you mom in a recipe or two to keep her busy.

That everything is so rush rush rush. Everyone around me is so busy. I don't think that I enjoy the Season like I did as when I was younger.

My sister will only allow my family over for a few hours on Christmas Eve. I live 5 1/2 hours away and my parents 2 1/2 hours away. She refuses to let us stay the night and always goes to the inlaws. Since she has kids she feels she can make the rules. Her inlaws live 5 minutes away. My parents would die if they couldn't see the kids. Tried to get her to alternate the holidays with the inlaws but she refuses.

This is the first year I decided not to go.

The fact that some people want to turn Christmas into some kind of religious holiday! :)

There’s some stress, with buying gifts and spending all that money. But about the only thing that I don’t like is that people put up their decorations so early then snatch them down the day after Christmas. I think you should wait until December to put them up, and wait until January to take them down.

Grumpy, I know what you mean, I love Christmas, but hate the way we, *as Americans deal with it. Shopping for gifts is fine, but do we really need to start before Halloween, or as some people do all year round.

Dreamin, we've been working to ease the stress since she was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. I'm thankful that bro built his home next to mom so its not much of an inconvenience for her to walk next door and help with getting things ready. She is also in the early stages of Alzheimer’s....

Ordinarycitizen> good for you... stay home, and let your sister know your feeling/
