I am basically on my phone or kindle at every holiday. If it wasn't for my kiddos, I'd just stay home. I don't celebrate or care about holidays. They are just excuses for corpos to put their treat machine into overdrive so they can have shitty sales. And for the most part, holidays just feel fake. Everyone pretends to be nice with each other because they are "family" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean. But also lib family members just have the shittiest takes imaginable.

I'm trying to psychologically prepare for whatever this aunt ends up saying to pretend I didn't hear it. But I suck at masking.
