I still loathe Christmas, which is approaching too rapidly for my taste, and I get asked what I want for Christmas (Merlin be praised, 98% of my Christmas shopping's done), and here's my problem: how does one tell relatives that one doesn't want expensive gifts that are meant to make the buyers feel good (when they're not the kind that tries to buy affection, or tries to make the recipient feel either bad or worthless - for whatever reason)?
If I could answer honestly, I'd say that the only thing I want is quiet: no family drama, no stress, no tears, no bullying, no belittling.
Fat chance!!!
My perfect Christmas present is to spend Christmas without a knot in my stomach, and without having to deal with DNA-related bullies.
January will never come fast enough...
