Well, they are not the same now that I'm older. One of my exes from a few years back had a little rugrat, so that made it probably the most fun holiday I ever had. I still like the fact that people are nicer to each other this time of year, but I don't get amped up for it anymore. Gave up on the parents thing a couple years ago so I don't have that stress anymore. Kinda just makes it a calm extra 2 days off.
Oh, the only problem this year........I can't leave my place dammit. Snowed in.
The plows gave up on our parking lot at four a.m., and it is supposed to be blizzard conditions until sometime tomorrow morning. At least I have a garage though. We're only 1/3 of the way through the storm and there's already snowdrifts around cars that are up to the windows and higher.
Anyway......Merry Christmas to all you fucktards!
