I found out this afternoon that my Christmas plans have been cancelled. The B crew was planning to eat at the DFAC (that would be Army speak for the cafeteria place, mmhmm). Well, I was informed that they had their 'holiday meal' on Wednesday. Yes, that makes so much sense! Of course they would not have it on Christmas! Because, if they had it on Christmas, people would be able to enjoy a Christmas meal! Why the heck would we want that?!
Yes, I am irritated.
I made the whole Thanksgiving meal a month ago. Turkey, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, rolls, green beans, pies, cookies. And do you know who came to my house for that dinner? My husband, my daughters, and myself. I spent the whole day cooking, and it was just a regular dinner with my family.
Holidays, to me, are a ton of people, everyone talking at once, running out of stuff because everyone wants 2nds, and just craziness. The thought of having another holiday where I cook all day for my husband and my two year old daughters is, quite frankly, depressing. Which is why we were going to go to the DFAC. A Christmas dinner, made by someone else, someone else would clean, and we wouldn't be alone.
Yep, that plan was squashed.
And the real kicker, I think, is that not a single person that I consider a friend has asked about my plans. We are not celebrating Christmas alone because we want to. We are celebrating alone because we were not included in anyone's plans. I guess the only way we have holidays with friends is if I invite them. Then there is a 50% chance they will come... Ugh...
As you can tell, I am pretty upset about all this. I am really feeling like a loner and I don't like it. I thought I had some good friends here, but I think I might be wrong.
And don't get me wrong. I love my daughers, and I love my husband. But my holidays growing up, we were surrounded by so many aunts, uncles, and cousins. So just my hubby and kids, where there is no reason to leave the house and no one comes by... Well it just doesn't feel like a holiday to me.
But it looks like that is what we will have this year.
Oh Holly this makes me sad!! If we were doing anything I would invite you always! However since Matt won't be here next year he doesn't want to do anything but have dinner with us. And btw I didn't know you had Thanksgiving plans (nor did I know about certain adorable blondes birthdays!) ;-)
