You know, we are only three days away from Christmas and it really doesn't feel like Christmas. I can freakin wear shorts and flip flops during the day. That just isn't Christmas weather to me. I try and try to get into the Christmas spirit, but it just ain't happening. I bought a nice tree. I have wrapped presents under the tree. I even play Christmas type of music throughout the day. But this dumb weather is not helping any. I wish we would get some freak snow on Monday.
Anyway... my mother and I got into it at dinner today. It wasn't that bad because my sister kind of put a stop to it. It boils down to the waitress saying "Happy holidays" at the end of our meal. My mother went into some rant about "Merry Christmas" and how people are not into the Jesus spirit anymore. I swear she is getting worse with this church thing as she gets older. So I mention that not everyone is Christian and the waitress has no idea if we were. Then she made some ignorant comment that it didn't matter and that she should have said "Merry Christmas". Well I'm sure it does matter to those that aren't Christian and I vaguely remember something about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa being important this time of year. Hhmmm... where have I seen that. Oh yeah.. how about EVERYWHERE.
It really irritates me when she is so closed minded about other religions. The majority is not always right mother!!! I'm just getting frustrated thinking about our conversation. So there you have it. Another joyous night filled with festivites and family feuding.
(Sarcasm) Isn't it great living in the same city as your family? (/Sarcasm)
