Holiday time, New Years Eve and new things.

Is thanksgiving part of the holiday season or just Christmas and New Years? Anyway, It's been awhile since I wrote in this blog and to the eight people that follow, how was the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years? Did you get everything you wanted? Did you make some New Years resolutions? Did you finish everything up for the year? That's cool, not many people get to finish everything and start a year fresh.

My Thanksgiving was cool. Everybody does the same thing every year sit around, eat, get fat, watch movies and sleep. Same old same old. Christmas was a little different as I had some other families to hit up and it was nice. Three extra families to be precise and I didn't hit them all but I did manage to get to the ones I needed to.

With Covid going around and looks like its here to stay, its hard for people to get together. We all understand this but do we really care about covid enough to not be with our loved ones? Yes and no. Some people go into full lockdown and dont have any contact but some say fuck that I'm getting together with all my peoples and end up being safe but some don't and catch covid then wonder where they got it from. One of the families I joined in Christmas is going back into full lockdown and welcomed me into their house for Christmas. I really appreciated it as I know it was hard enough having anybody over their house and to make sure that I am responsible enough to let me into their house without covid. I was actually overwhelmed that we even did it. Thinking back to day I asked about it, I figured it was a day that was going to come and go and it get lost in the Christmas rush but that didn't happen. The one thing that kind of always scares me is that no. You never know when it's going to hit but in the back of your mind you know its coming. I didn't want to buy gifts and then I get that no. I was going to be pissed if it happened but in the end it worked out and we had a great time. I bought gifts for everyone and they didn't expect that. I was shocked to think that I would come over and only buy one gift. Hell I even bought one for his Mom. The gift he gave me I didn't open till new year as it scared the fuck out of me and was heavy as fuck. Times like Christmas and birthdays where a person chooses to gift me I am always not expecting one. In the end we ended up watching Scrooged opening gifts and playing board games, which I lost, like that is a new thing. I did manage to beat a nine year old that was not really playing. So I feel proud about that. Hahahahaha. I hope we do it again next Christmas but we never know.

The Other family was going to have to wait because I left first family late. So this one I visited the next day. They didn't expect any gifts as I had been low on funds and they knew I had no money but getting a new job I had a good paycheck. So, I almost went broke but I managed to save a little for New Years Eve. I managed to grab a Lego Darth Vader set, I think that thing is called the Mediation chamber. It was cool but as I'm not into Lego and he is it was the perfect gift. I got the wife something from Bath and Body Works. Cant go wrong getting the lady something from that place. I expected something from them but not a big ass bottle of Jägermeister and The Christmas Vacation Moose glass. They bought a set of four so we drank out of them the whole night. Later that night we settled down and watched The Matrix Resurrections, I ain't even talking about that.

The actual family on Christmas day was great. It was better than it had been in years just because of everything that came before it. Since my father passed, also when you lose someone that's part of the immediate family the holidays are never the same. It doesn't matter which of them it is, it will never be the same. So, holidays kind of suck at my place but this years was different. I actually didn't care about what I got under the tree. I cared that I had people that were there for me and were still here to celebrate the Christmas time with me and me with them. As for what I got just normal stuff nothing special.

Fast Forward to New Years, going in I didn't have to much I wanted to close out with just a good new job and not catching Covid. I got both of those and manage to get in a little party as well. As for New Year resolutions I thought long and hard about this because I wanted something obtainable and not out of reach. The most important thing I want to accomplish is letting people know how I really feel about them. I know too many people who have died from Covid, natural causes or anything between these two years and for ten months the people of the world didn't have contact with another person. I've been to friends and family funeral where the surviving members of a family are just flat out broken because that person is gone, but its more that the person never told the deceased how they really feel or never really talked to them. If you have a point where you lose anybody and you never spoke a word to that person but you feel something about their death. It effects you and its going to effect you for awhile. Never let something stop you from what you could've said at that moment. You never know how it might make that persons day or may change them. I'm to the point where I'm going to tell them and if they dont like it fine, if they do like it that's also fine. How we move on from it is the important part. I'm getting to that age where I have enough friends and I'm not trying to make new ones. I'm not on the hunt for anybody, especially a person that not going to go on the hunt for me. The next thing I want to do is finish college, at my age that's a task that's hard with a full time job and all the other things that get in the way, but its a goal that needs to be done. I'm too old to be jumping from shitty job to shitty job trying to make ends meet. Third, I want to move out as my mother is getting on my nerves. Finally, I want to do more things in the outdoors. I got into fly fishing a while back and went to Montana and I kind of miss it. I don't want to go back to Montana but just go into Fly Fishing in general. That's all I got for this blog, hit me back if you guys like it or just to say hi and chat. Thanks for reading. Again Im not Stephen King so dont judge my writing
