One holiday left..when ADDson #1 & 2 left the house...I decided to stop celebrating Christmas...not really stop celebrating, but do the Jehovah Witness thing and not give gifts.
Mainly because...I am a chronic "over-doer". I would buy shit they (my kids) saw in January and thought they wanted and everything that I thought I would want to have if I were there age and a boy. Also, I would still be paying for the prior year Christmas' credit card purchases...so I thought "fuck this", I'm stopping - no tree, no dinner, no presents, no cards, nothing...yes everyone thought I was crazy, because I had always given presents...not cheap presents either. The last year I gave presents, I bought 7 satellite radios for the men in my life...but the cheap bastards did not want to pay the subscription fees, so they never installed them. I wanted/tried to buy my sister a Tivo, because I love it and wish I could marry it, but she warned me that she would not pay for the subscription and after I offered to pay it for a year, she said that she would never connect it...
When I used to partake, I would put the tree up on Thanksgiving night, and be ready to pitch that bitch by Dec 15...the needles would be falling off a week later making a huge mess, or all the lights would get tangled...ugh just the thought of it is making my head hurt.
Now that I have a grandkid, I feel like the bug might be coming up again (I hit up black Friday sales like a mad woman, but ADDhubby was there to regulate), but fortunately he lives out of town and is still young. Another downer for me is all the secrecy...I have a very hard time not telling people what I got them...or giving it to them early...the problem with that is that my ungrateful, fucking-spawn will get to open a gift early and then still expect something on Christmas day.
Since I'm a struggling student...I better chill out and practice my Bah-Humbug!

Yeah Im not really feeling the gift of giving Poca's hubby just got another car. We are possibly moving, my children will have to understand this year is for neccessities not for wants. They are still young so of course they aren't going to understand. I guess we will be eating a cup of noodles and spam well into Easter..LMAO. On some real shyt, all I want is a new coach purse and shoes to match....that is all..LOL
GO ahead girl, put it up for the grand baby..ya just gotta...=)
LOL @ Poc...Top Ramen and Spam...hey, wait thats what my mom use to feed us...j/k
Does the Coach have to be from the Coach Store? or can it be a really authentic looking Coach from Canal street (NYC) for $30? that might determine if your request is fulfilled...just a thought.
LMAO...umm, HECK NO...wait does it look authentic, pssssst you did say $30 didn't you...they got a range of colors? Is it the newest new new or the old ones....j/k. Another handbag is the last thing I need, but I heard about Canal, that is a street I cant wait to see.
Poc, they do look extremely aunthentic...the LV stuff got the serial numbers and Ive compared my Canal st LVs to a white ladies that had just come from france and pd 599 for hers...and she was pissed, after seeing mine and hearing what I pd for it. I sent my sister some coaches from there as well and they were VERY similar as well. I used to work in NYC and thats really the only thing I miss about it.
