[quote:Anonymous Coward 30826600:MV8yMDkzODkzXzM1MjU0MzA5XzE1NzVFRTlD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 11895435:MV8yMDkzODkzXzM1MjU0MTc1XzUwMDZFMDFF] I'm with you on that my friend. Feel sick to the stomach and just pissed my missis off totally by not going with her to do the 'circus' - driving miles and miles round to see each one of her family in turn, the 'meet and greet' and then on to the next. As for my folks I find time to see them each week and rarely let a week go by I don't tell my folks how much I love them and give them a big hug.... so I'll be f**ked if I'm doing it today because I'm required too as 'its Christmas'. I don't need Coca-Cola or Toys'r'f**king-us to remind me every 5 mins for the last 2 months that today is about seeing my family and lavishing them with gifts. Probably the main reason I hate this time of year though, is I am a serving Police Officer, and have been since I was 19. This is the first Christmas day in 10 years I have had off and my memories of this time of the year for the last decade are of terrified beaten women, crying kids, being covered in blood, snot and tears from families who get on the 'Christmas ale' and seem to feel the need to beat sh*t out of each other along with anyone else that gets in the path, dealing with the massive increase in suicides and sudden deaths that this time of year always throws up, and telling people that husbands/wives/children are dead cos some dick decided to have one to many egg-nogs and wiped them out as they drove home shedded. [b]Oh, and Muppets Christmas Special.... those furry f**ks can p**s off as well. [/b] :rant: [/quote] :cruise::1rof1::cheers::chorus: [/quote]

I'm supposed to go over to dad's house for Christmas tomorrow, but I can't bring myself to do it. Dad, his wife, my brother, SIL, niece, nephew and even my mom. Dad's wife's daughter and her family might be there too.
I don't want to go. I feel uncomfortable for some unknown reason.
I hate Christmastime. I haven't bought anyone any presents. I did just order dad something from Amazon but I procrastinated so it won't be here until the 28th.
So, I'm going to call in sick. I'd rather spend the day alone or hang out at a bar with other people who are skipping Christmas.
