Christmas...

This Christmas I am broke, along with many other people I'm sure. I've always enjoyed giving presents to the people I care about. However, this year I have decided not to buy one single present for anybody. It's kind of depressing, not being able to give to those who have helped you out through the year. I suppose this could be a contributing factor to my mood lately, which seems to be getting more and more bitter by the day.

I recall a friend of mine stating something along the lines of, "I can't not get my mother a Christmas present after everything she's done for me all year". My friend is always broke. She's always borrowing money from everybody and never really paying it back. This makes me think about the people who help me, who help friends and family. These people don't want presents. They want their money back, lol.

At any rate, I think I've come to the realization that there is no fancy present that can make up for everything I have been given. I still feel horrible though that I cannot give, and plan to one day pay everybody back what they've given me plus so much more.

Ba-humbug!
