I’m just going through the motions because it’s the done thing but I don’t want to do any of it. Two years ago I lost someone close to me and I don’t know how I made it through but it’s not been the same since.
My tree is up but I barely even look at it, Christmas events are flat, shopping is money that could be better spent or saved.
I think as my child approaches adulthood I will make the lowest effort at Christmas, I can’t do it now because people do have expectations and it’s not easy to hide from it.
