So this is Christmas?
What a difference a year makes. Especially when that year is goddamn 2020. On the plus side, Christmas means there are only six days left in this all-time shitshow.
I'm not always a scrooge but I'm good at it- more so lately. You like gallows humor? Let's hang together.
I don't remember Christmas being that much fun when I was a kid. The weeks leading up to it were charming. But it wasn't until I had kids that Christmas day was special. It's hard to go back to apathy of the day when it was lovely for a while. Now it's just sadder and lonelier.
I divorced this year. Live 10 minutes down the road from my kids' house and split custody with my ex. I got nothing bad to say about her. She's a wonderful mother. I see why it didn't work out now- well before I formally crashed our ship into an iceberg.
It wasn't my holiday but I went over to the house and spent the morning. It was nice. Not nice like the last few Christmas mornings, but better than all the ones before those. We watched pixar's new movie on disney plus. It's not as good as Inside Out which it was trying to be. But it was alright- and any movie where I can cuddle the kiddos is Oscar worthy.
I left by lunch and have been alone in my apartment since. Watched Woman Woman 84 and it is fascinatingly bad. Don't worry, I'm not an incel. It's just the most expensive B movie ever made.
This is a helluva post, people.
You single? You lonely? You divorced? You got kids? If any two of those apply and you want to talk, I'm here.
Merry Christmas.
