NOT A BAD HOLIDAY

   My family had their Christmas party on the 17 at my sisters house.  All in all it was not a bad time at all.   I did not eat much as I had an upset tummy all night the night before, but what I ate was yummy.   The gathering this year was at my sisters house.   She has a new big heated garage/play room for her grand kids.  By the time we got there most of the family was there.  The kids were running a muck with scooters riding them around the table that had been set up in the garage so we could all eat at once.   It was a little sad my brother and his wife could not be with us as they had passed away this year, but their children and grand children joined us.n0.100.gif 
     After the meal the table and chairs were moved to the edge of the garage and presents were opened.   I always see to it everyone in my family gets something from me for Christmas.  I will admit some get more expensive presents if they do more things for me during the year, but EVERYONE gets something.   I was a tiny bit disappointed when I got home and discovered my niece and her family did not even give me a card.   When I give someone a present I do not do it expecting one back, but a card would have been nice.   I have been watching my email thinking maybe she would at least send me an email card, because they are free and she spent a large portion of the Christmas party playing around on her phone instead of watching her kids.  None has came yet.
I am not trying to be petty it is just that I gave her 25 bux for her birthday in Nov and 25 for Christmas . I also bought her kids and her husband Christmas presents, and a special additional present for her oldest son for being good all year ( he has ADD so that is not easy for him).  It is disappointing to think I cared that much about her family and she did not even care enough about me to send me a free email Christmas card.n5.100.gif  
   My sister in law got her feelings hurt, because every year she makes a craft project for the kids to do and this year it did not get done.   She spent all the time setting it up and was really looking forward to making it with the kids.   I heard her ask one of them when we got there if they wanted to make a snow man, so I guess it had something to do with snow men.   The reason it did not get made was my sisters fault, and I am totally with my sister in law on this.  My sister thought it was a good idea to set up a bounce house in the garage after the presents were opened.   Seriously what kid would get out of an inflatable bounce house with a ball pit to go make a craft project.   I thought the bounce house was over the top, and at the very least it should have waited until after my sister in laws craft was done she makes something every year.
     My sister just totally annoyed me this year.   As I said I buy for everyone in the family every year, as did our other sister until this year.  I told my sister that our other sister was not going to get for everyone this year( it is important to note all the other adults in the family but me and our oldest sister stopped buying presents for each other years ago) and my sister said well i wish I knew if she was getting for me of not so I would know if  I had to get for her.   The words HAD TO GET set me off.  No one has to get someone else a present.   I said to her are you serious?   You only buy your only big sister a present because she buys you one?   I said you know what if God had that attitude the very first Christmas we would all be screwed today.   If he would have said I am not going to give them my son to save them unless they give me something where would we all be now?   I told my sister who used to be the deaconess of her church that she was playing christian not living it.   She goes to church nearly every Sunday and women's fellowship and wants people to think she is a good Christian but when it comes to her own sister where is her christian charity?   Then she says to me you do not realize how any I have to buy for.   I said ohhhhhhhhhhhh really you buy for your kids and grand kids and I buy for everyone in the family so I am sure I buy for more then you do, and I have less to do it with then you do.   My sister has the most money in the family and for her to play she can not afford even a dollar present for our oldest sister if she does not get her anything wins her the scrooge of the year award in my book.   The whole thing is she busy hundreds of dollar presents for her kids and grand kids cause she likes spoiling them rotten.   Even her oldest daughter feels the way I do that she goes to extremes  with the spoiling the grand kids and her younger daughter takes advantage of her mom.   That is where the stupid bounce house came from my sister bought it for her youngest daughter's youngest daughter's birthday the day before the gathering.   YES I said BOUGHT IT not rented it.   She wants to spoil her grand kids so they have no value of money that is on her, but no way am I going to let her get away with saying she is not getting our other sister anything for Christmas because she has too many to buy for when that is not the case.   She has a few she is spending wayyyyyyyyyy too much on that is why she feels it at Christmas.  
     Ok I am sorry I got off track.   I think everyone enjoyed them selves at the gathering for the most part.   Even the adults were throwing the balls from the ball pit at each other lol.   Tell you what if I ever got in a real fight I would want my sisters oldest grand daughter on my side. lol   She was gathering up the balls that were being thrown taking them to my brother's youngest son to hold then when she got a bunch or them collected up she passed them out 2 to each of the adults sitting along the edge of the table and told us to hold them till she gave the signal to throw them so we did. lol  When she said now we all threw them at one time it made a rain of balls in the middle near the bouncy house. lol   The girl had good tactical skills.

 HOPE EVERY ONE HAS A NICE HOLIDAY SEASON AND A BETTER NEXT YEAR THEN THIS ONE WAS!
