Yay! Christmas is getting closer and closer. Christmas music is playing, the smell of pine trees, spending time with family and friends, baking meals, and giving gifts are my favorite things ever. I am so excited! We already have our big tree up, and loaded with gold and red ornaments.
The bad thing is that our Stepmom is with us. She is never nice to us on Christmas. Last year me and my sister was with our Dad for Christmas, our Stepmom was rude to us. Our stepbrothers weren’t with us, they were with their dad, and our Stepmom was bawling on Christmas morning. She watched us open our gifts for like 2 minutes, and she said this: “Merry Christmas girls,” very rude and very sarcastically. Then, like always, went to her room and slammed the door. My Dad went up to talk to her, and she yelled “GET THE F*** OUT OF MY ROOM!” And finally, she locked the door.
That was not what I wanted to happen that morning.
So, yeah. Another bad thing about Christmas is since I am the oldest kid of all of my cousins, and stepbrothers, and my sister, I have to go LAST opening our presents EVERY SINGLE YEAR. It’s not fair!! I have to wait about 2 hours or so for all the kids to open their gifts. I hate that when it happens. I hope that doesn’t happen this year!
Our 11 year old cousin, she is always, always, always getting presents on OUR BIRTHDAYS! What the heck?! One time, on my birthday, our cousin got a pink electric scooter that went all by itself! It was not fair. Plus, those scooters are like $200. And that’s not even our budget! So I pretty much HATE having Christmas with our Dad…
At the same house, we have a very inappropriate Grandpa. He and his wife, (which is my Dad’s mom and stepdad.) smoke in the house (WITH CHILDREN IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD!) iT’S TERRIBLE. He gets drunk a lot, and it really scares me and my sister. On his birthday, he got mad at everyone because nobody got him Whiskey. It was ridiculous. He lifts up girls shirts when he hugs them, and one time he pulled our Stepmom into his lap while drunk, and she was not happy. We IMMEDIATELY left after that. Good. I hate going there anyway.
When we are with our Dad for the weekend, on every Saturday we have lunch over there. He is mostly drunk when we go over there, so I am in the back room with my sister and cousins and we play (with the door closed!) When we are eating lunch, he comes up behind you and rubs your back, and believe me- it is very, very uncomfortable. So I move my back so he can’t do that.
Okay! Back to Christmas! With my Mom, oh my gosh guys- having Christmas at my Great Grandmas house is amazing! There is so much yummy food there, and cousins, Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews, are there. Everyone is happy, laughing, and cheering. And yes, my family is a HUGE football fan. Every time we go there, the game is on! It is so happy there. No one is cussing, screaming, drunk, and smoking. It is a very good environment. I love it when every one is in the living room, by the tree, and opening gifts. I am sad when we have to leave, but we will always be there again next year!
