I got 7 people in my house, thankful AF, but half my heart is thousands of kms away with my folks and brother as my mom is goin down. Weird to be split like that.

Also celebrating 20 years married anniversary on Dec 31. ...Crazy

BJJ club is closed most of the break so I will likely eat/drink a lot and get fat lol.
I already bought myself a new gi but haven't used it yet. My old gi actually ripped holes in the knees. Sucks because the day I will use the new gi I will be all out of shape again lol

Trying not to worry or be too cheap about money, always sucks this time of year. Most of me is resentful of seasonal gift-giving/credit culture and I can be a scrooge, but I usually cave in and end up spending a little more than what I should. Have some work over the break so that's good to balance.

Hoping for snow

Christmases aren't what they once were, I find myself very jaded by the empty materialism of the season, and one can struggle to handle the season like we want due to family and societal pressure.

If it was up to me, I would skip this holiday entirely. That and every other holiday the west celebrates with the mass consumption of overwhelming materialism.

My wife and I don't buy each other gifts, this year we bought new kitchen appliances and that was our Christmas. We have no more use for packages of useless junk. We buy for our son, and that is more because of the pressure of the holiday, we stopped buying grandkids gifts and started putting the money into resp packages for them.

Seriously, fuck Christmas.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

You should consider looking into heathen Yule. All the best parts of Christmas with none of the BS, + other cool stuff.

Yule Eve and Yule morning with the local family, then we are going up north to see our kin in the northlands. It will mostly be fun times and good food and ale, but Im also thinking about what oath to swear on the final day for 2019. Im thinking of doing a fitness goal, developing my bench and rows probably. Happy holidays E-brothers!

I didn’t claim I could...

Apologies for being ‘grumpy’ I was trying to be funny, but looking at it with a fresh set of eyes I realise it comes off as more cunty than anything else.

That being said, Merry Christmas bitches!
