Instead of shutting off the cynical asshole routine I put on when in the company of family, or people I just don’t like and actually being nice for the whole month of December like I have done the last eight years, I’m gonna be a Scrooge this holiday season. I am going to attend family gatherings, but if one of my dingbat relatives irks me, I won’t ignore it. Instead, I’ll point out that they are fucking stupid, and move on to the next person that does something I don’t like.
I honestly don’t want to be an asshole during Christmas, but it is unavoidable. I’ve been doing multiple odd jobs for the past few months, as well as being fired from many would be steady jobs simply because I will not bend over so the current employer could screw me over. I am currently low on funds right now having spent the last of my money on food. I must remember to thank the relatives who stole half of it for themselves leaving me with meager offerings of half a loaf of bread, half a jar of peanut butter, half a jar of jelly, enough ground hamburger for one meal, and a few eggs. How I will survive a month on this I do not know, but I have done it before. I know for a fact that I will recieve no help from my family. Well, those of them who can afford to help. The others are pretty much in the same situation as me. Mooching relatives, and being tight on cash.
That’s not the best part though. I got held up at gunpoint for forty bucks. I also got shot at after refusing to hand over my money, and instead opting to clobber the little pissant who didn’t know how to use a gun properly. So, I’m gonna be a prick for the holiday season. This may be the start of me hating Christmas.
