Holiday Disappointment

I always look forward to the Christmas break. It is an exciting time for me especially because it’s Christmas. Although I did enjoy this time off, there were a couple of things that disappointed me.

One of the things I hated was the weather. It was too cold. I can’t even take pleasure in going outside if it’s freezing. I’m not the type of person that can be at home all the time; if I stay at home I go crazy and even get cranky or impatient. I do like winter, in fact I love it but not when it’s freezing cold. The weather was what did upset me but what could I do? Of course the weather didn’t stop me from going wherever I wanted to go, but I did have to wear two shirts, two sweaters, and a jacket. This Christmas could’ve been a fantastic time for me if it had been just chilly but unfortunately I don’t control the weather.

Something that I don’t look forward to ever year is deciding with which parent I spend Christmas and New Year’s with. Since my parents are divorced, every year my sister and I spend one of these days with my dad and the other with my mom. It’s really hard and frustrating to choose what day to spend with whom. I don’t like hurting my parent’s feelings and ever year I feel like I do. I wish I could spend it with both of them on both special days that are important. That’s the only thing I don’t like doing but I have to, and to me that’s a huge disappointment.

I never look for the bad during Christmas. I always try to be happy and enjoy every minute of it. Christmas break would be perfect if the weather was just fine and I didn’t have to decide who to spend Christmas and New Year’s with but unfortunately it’s not.
