I just wish Xmas was over....

I always get so tense this time of year. :(

Plus, I'm starting a new job and trying to live without credit cards. :) I don't like buying things for the sake of the holiday, I like to be spontaneous?

I feel on edge all the time. :)

2. You don't feel stressed?

I've never been a Xmas person. :)

It's nice, but I'm not crazy about it. :)

3. I know...I feel like I'm the poorest poor person on the planet.

And I'm not, and that makes me feel ungrateful or something.

I love Christmas and the holiday season from top to bottom, but by Christmas I always feel like I didn't do everything I could have. I know it's not about the presents, but damn, a person wants to be able to get nice things for their kid at Christmas, you know?

I tried only eating once a day this week so's to have a bit more to spend--not such a good idea, all I think about is food!

Ugh. I'll be glad when it's March.

5. Did you say macaroni and cheese?

:cry:

:hug: back. This really is supposed to be a happy, wonderful time--and every year I want that, and I want to do the secret Santa and charity stuff and the christmas plays and the great teacher's presents...

And every year I just skate by. Maybe I should be grateful for that...but I'm a horrible person and am not. :dunce:

6. Don't feel obligated......

easier said than done, granted, but I told everybody I'm getting presents for that I'm cutting back, I have to.

:) You are not a horrible person at all.
