Christmas Joy

A lot of things have changed this year ... but one thing has remained.

I still hate Christmas.

Massive thank you to my relatives for taking me in this year, I really appreciate how much effort you have put in these last few months to make me feel like part of the family. It's the first time I've actually celebrated Christmas in a long time. Food was unbelievably incredible too!

Maybe I'm just not ready for Christmas yet.

I kind of feel like it's all just a cover.

A dying tree covered in plastic ornaments.

Presents covered in paper ... presents for what? I buy you a present so you buy me a present ... why don't we just buy ourselves presents?

Turkey covered in gravy.

Faces covered in makeup.

Let's not even start on the Christmas carols.

And the smiles, plastered to everyone's faces ... what are they covering?

One day I'm sure I'll rediscover that "Christmas Joy".

Until then ... I'm just glad it's another 365 days until Christmas comes again.
