I didn't really expect the holiday season to be tough, to be honest I didn't really think about it at all, until December hit and I realised that there were gonna be lots of parties and gigs and loads and loads of drunk people everywhere! I have not liked this month at all.
I don't know why it didn't cross my mind that my
first sober Xmas was going to be hard. It's only natural really. 'Tis the season to be jolly and all that, and most people translate jolly as 'drunk'. I also found the shopping ridiculously stressful. I can't believe I had to go to work
and think of and buy presents for small children. We should be able to employ people to be thoughtful for us
You're doing fab hun, don't let the season grind you down. Xmas and new years are just days after all. Hugs xxx
