It was Solstice today, and traditionally in my family we do something to mark it, today I had my mom, grandmother, and brother over and we made fried chicken with green beans, candied carrots, and cornbread, peach cobbler for desert, was good times. My brother is starting to get more used to being in the world I think, hope, and did well today, we exchanged a few gifts and will reconvene on Christmas Eve over at the in-laws. That's gonna be a bit rough for me as I will be going there right after an eight hour shift at work, but I'll manage.
I think one of these years I would like to just unplug from the holiday though, basically everything about it stresses me out except the food, I even stress about asking for gifts. So I want to basically take a week off, my fantasy is I buy all my presents for everyone and then fuck off to a hotel somewhere for a week, anyone who wants to buy me a present can make a donation or something and I get to not deal with the madness of the holiday.
It isn't like I am suffering exactly, but it would be nice to have the option to check out once in a while, maybe next year.
