to be really fed up with all the Christmas moaning?

[NotTheSpiceOfLife]

I didn't get the present I wanted.
I didn't get the present I 'deserved'.
I didn't get the right amount of money.
I think DH/DP/DM/DF is a tight bastard.
Someone ruined Christmas by not peeling the sprouts quick enough.

Blah blah fucking blah.

Christmas is about being together and having a laugh. Not about presents, or money, or whether your SIL spent more than BIL or whatever.

Seriously, be fucking grateful for the people you have in your life, not what you can get out of them on one day of the year. It's really pissed me off reading some of the threads on here today, and it's the same every year.

This isn't some holier-than-thou self righteous thread, I'm just so bored that all people can do is moan about what they haven't got, than what they have.

Is it just me?

It's a bit of a long story winterswan but I think it will be looking up today.

I'm really pleased ils and do feel free to share the long story if you should wish to: I'm on my own today and slightly worried I may need to start building an ark!

"I recall checking through the Argos catalog that my sister didn't have more than me. When I was 8."

arethereany your post made me smile. DD1 is just like that and it is very funny and sweet to read it as a reflection by a gown up. I hope my dd grows out of this in time
