    I successfully avoided my family, ended up at a friends family Christmas and still had my normal Christmas panic attack. I dislike this holiday lol

    Not a good one, my dad just didn’t come over and my grandma was a little bit sick so she also didn’t come too. The good part is that I ate a ton of lasagna and started a lot of games, mom’s lasagna is god tier.

    Also, it’s summer here and I’m basically melting everyday, we only got one fan right now and our state is running out of water. The recently privatized water company is doing a shit job as expected and lots of people on my city have no water and sometimes no electricity too.

    For me personally, not terrible I guess. I didn’t have to go to Christmas eve service because I had to stay home and cook, which was nice. For the family as a whole, possibly the worst anyone can remember.

    (CW: Death)

    spoiler

    My brother-in-law’s dad, who seemed perfectly healthy less than a year ago, on Christmas day was at the point where the only discussion was about palliative care, but later in the evening went into renal failure and passed in the middle of the night.

    My other sister’s side brought the flu with them. Almost everyone is in some stage of sick, I’m on my second day of taking tamiflu and am in bed with a fever. With both of those things going on, the larger family Christmas was canceled day-of.

    On a much smaller side of the bad things, my sister’s washing machine broke on Christmas Eve, so we’re doing laundry for 13 sick people with one residential washer-dryer set.

    So bad bad vibes all around.

    Just heard an extended family member who was suicidal was shot and killed by cops last night. https://archive.is/gCpf8

    for some reason im scared of the new year

    However I personally consider this the halfway point between winter and spring, so im natually excited for spring to arrive

    But to answer the question (sorry that didn’t answer it) Christmas was awesome, no major drama, I could actually relax

    Pretty normal Christmas with my parents. I learned my absolute piece of shit sister is moving back into the area and has been “reconciling” with my parents. I am not happy.
