Dec. 18th, 2001 12:35 amMy box of presents arrived from Winnipeg today. I thought I was going to be all happy opening it, but instead it just made me cry. It sort of finalizes the fact that I won't be spending Christmas with my parents for the first time ever.
And I thought I was going to be fine. Well, mopey, but fine. We decided to stay in New Brunswick this year for several reasons - the cost of going home, the fact that we have a wedding to pay for, and most importantly, so Nick could spend Christmas with his Grammie and Grampie - something he hasn't done since he was 1 year old.
Turns out Grammie and Grampie are too busy to spend Christmas with us.
I can't even believe it. Grammie has to look after HER mother, and when Steve said maybe we'd come by, she said something along the lines of "umm... yeah... i guess. if you want to"
Not the response we were hoping for. So i'm feeling kind of hurt.... I feel I made a sacrifice - staying here for Christmas so they could spend the day with their only grandson, and they don't even care.
So okay, the three of us will spend the day together. We'll figure something out and have a good day. But by God, next year we WILL be with my family.
