We are hosting a get-together on Christmas Eve that will serve as the kick-off to our official holiday celebration. Woo hoo!
This is our first party in our new home, which is well-suited for entertaining, so I’m excited. This week, we’ll be cleaning, decorating and baking to get ready for the big event filled with fun, food and good company. It’s gonna be great!
Although, I am a little nervous.
There may be one or more people in attendance that hate me.
Normally, I’d say that’s not a big deal. I’ve been hated before. Usually, I’ve done something to deserve it. But, I have a difficult time being hated for no reason or the wrong reason, and that’s what I’m dealing with here. Still, I’m so hyped up on Christmas spirit, I think I have enough good cheer to dispel even the scroogiest Scrooge or Leslie-hater.
Okay…and here’s were I get all dippy and naive…maybe, this year, it will be different. Maybe this is the turning point.
Perhaps they’ll come to my beautiful, festively-decorated home to be welcomed by my warm and loving daughter and blissfully happy husband and partake of delicious and skillfully prepared Hors d’Oeuvres, entrees and desserts, and open carefully chosen gifts and decide: Hey! We like Leslie after all!
It could happen. Christmas is a miraculous time of year.
And even if I am pulverized by the crushing weight of the hate, I have Christmas to look forward to the next day.
And Christmas is going to ROCK.

You Should Do This

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
Almost sounds like our house. There’s nothing like spending the holidays with feuding outlaws. Lucky for me, I’m not one of the feuding outlaws.
Good luck with your party!! Don’t worry about haters. If they come just to hate you, then you should take satisfaction that they are so upset about their lives that they live that way, and that you don’t. You are a good person giving them the opportunity to have some fun and enjoy a few minutes of their lousy pathetic lives. If they choose to spend this fun time hating rather than enjoying, that is their fault.
But I am sure that all will be fine. Christmas is a time of year that is meant to be joyful and to bring people together.
Ah, the holidays, the season of…tension.
Hang in there. Sneak sips of vodka during each trip back to the kitchen, whatever it takes.
Where having Hors? Sweet! This party will rock!
They hate you? Then it’s coal for them, I say.
Or empty snack food boxes.
I honestly can’t imagine why anyone would dislike you out of hand. You’re so the kind of person I’d prefer to hang out with. People are stupid, that’s all.
But then again, what’s a Holiday season without drama?
[…] My holiday shopping is officially complete. Every item for the party and every gift for under the tree has been purchased. Whew! […]
[…] I’m trying to be understanding. After all, I can’t completely remember, but it’s possible I served up a few buckeyes when I got all caught up in the Christmas spirit last year. Still, I’m upset about it. […]
