This is a lot of days late butโฆ. Oh man!! This year I was just not into the โChristmas Spiritโ. I bought the things for my 4 year old (and sort of for myselfโฆ HELLO LEGO ๐) and totally forgot to get things for others.
I had a really been in such a deep depression that I honestly didnโt care. I kept apologizing to my son about me being sad and asked if it was okay that I didnโt put up a tree. Of course, having the spirit of his dad in him, he told me it would be fine. I seemed to try some days by putting out a little bit but it took all of my energy.
But by falling into the guilty pressure of my mom and FIL, I put up a tree on the 23rd. I put this tree up and my son decorated it but it looked super weird. I just put it in my head that I was just tired and my ๐๐ had kicked in. The next morning, it still didnโt look right. Apparently, my mother (half of the guilty pressure team), had taken out the trees I had in my bag (1 for the living room & 1 tiny one for my kiddoโs room) and somehow mixed up all of my trees with hers ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
She had to bring me her bag of trees, so I could play a game of which tree goes with that one. On Christmas Eve, I took down one tree, put up my tree, decorated and put my final answers to the tree game back in her bag ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ Then, I had to go to the store to, last minute, purchase tiny things for others. I came home and had to wrap ALL of my gifts, get ready for Santa and make sure I didnโt forget his treats, AGAIN ๐ญ
Christmas Day seemed rushed having to drive everywhere to celebrate with everyone. Then, we had family come from out of town that I had to see so we could celebrate. As of today, my energy and my budget are still completely lacking!!! BUYING THINGS ARE SO FUN ๐คฉ
