| Only a mere mention, and what you get is the blame |
Recently a friend of mine had this activity which she calls it "Secret Santa". Give a gift to someone random that is worth around RM30 to RM 50. I sort of "well, another exchange gifts again, and we have done this before" and all of a sudden I realize that although it was random, my friend pick that random person for me. I talk to her about it in just a mere mention and I said she could have ask me about it and how this random thing happen and clearly, when I realize that it was randomly pick by her, I feel should ask others to do the random picking instead of her doing the random pick.
Clearly she did not heed my words and thinking I said it was unfair of her to do that and as the conversations continue, she blow her top and wrote an email to everyone about how (without pointing me as the person who says it) of being unfair this random pick by her is.
I shook my head knowing how this goes and just like that, as the plan seems to be a little "disarray" in the last minute of organizing... I just could not participate this event anymore. Christmas to me I feel is shared among friends and not adding more things and cramp the entire event in one day (two birthdays, one anniversary (or so they say) of a thread, christmas exchange gifts, a theme costume and dinner)... just don't feel simple. It has become more complicated than ever... let alone to do everything at one go... will be a disaster.
I told my other friend (whom organize the venue) that I won't be going, clearly make an excuse about it (but he knows I am making excuses of not knowing) that I can't attend. Although he still prefers me to go (and has leave an empty slot for me)... I just don't want to.
When it comes to organizing, I just feel it's best that to make it simple rather than to make it complicated. I think Christmas I would just want to celebrate on my own... that way, it's just simple, quiet and there's nothing much to think about. Definitely... I will make myself disappear... just don't want to reach anyone.
