I'm not a grinch, but I didn't enjoy the Christmas period at all this year. It was full of conflict and other things. I thought it would be an improvement on last year where that was also conflict-ridden, but it was just a disappointment in other ways with a tension-filled atmosphere.
And Christmas Day wasn't exactly how it should have been. While I was with family, at the same time I barely spent any time with them. Instead there were all these other strangers I had to socialise with, many of whom I barely could understand, or sometimes didn't understand at all when not speaking in English. Christmas should be a time to spend with loved ones, not just technically be present in the same room but having to make conversation with others I have no connection with and then barely being with family at all. And then when we did end up together it was just conflict and arguments.
What's the point?
