The older I get the more I don't enjoy being around people very much.

32. We don't do holidays.

Well, except for Halloween. I have been known to go a little crazy with Halloween decorations & costumes.

I only did Christmas for Mom. Once she died, I said no more. My sis has had issues with this, but her house is so out of control on Christmas, it's insane. She invites a ton of people over & I only know a few. She & my BIL are my only family there. Everyone else are friends of hers. She has 5 out of control dogs that are allowed free rein of the house. By the end of the day I feel like I've been in battle. There is never a chance to have a nice conversation with anyone because it is total chaos.

I've suggested that just the four of us get together for a meal at a restaurant but she won't do that. So we haven't seen each other in 3 years & we live a little over 50 miles from each other. Anytime I invite her for lunch or both of them to go out to dinner, she doesn't respond. Oh well.

I've spent the last three Christmases at home, either with the husband, or alone if he's working. Oh, can't forget the dog.
