forgive me for putting a negative hold on xmas.

every year i visit my gran for xmas. everybody watches titanic. uncles get drunk and reveal some astonishing family secret. poker games go on until 4am. a relative crys over the abscence of another relative. rude jokes are directed at the poor ED girl in the corner. it is a very boring cycle. this year things are worst because it has been a bad year for me and the family.

someone lift my spirrits before i start hacking the xmas tree down.
