Anyone else not excited about the holidays?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m the same as always, just another time of year. I like the little ********* parade my town does, and usually I go to see nutcracker, but not always. I like the decorations around town and the ********* parties. I didn’t grow up celebrating ********* in my family, so ********* actually in some ways is more fun as an adult, because ********* when I was a kid was the boringist day of the year. Now at least it is a day of with my husband, vacation day.
