In the past couple of years, Christmas has become my least favorite holiday and this year has really made that happen: 

Not sure I want to write the rest of this so i'll do it as a letter:
Be Warned, lots of anger and bitterness. 
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
Selfish Family Member:

To start with, Your grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousin have never referred to you as extended family in any way, shape or form.  Do we get promoted to immediate family since it's the holidays and you want presents or have we been demoted to Distant Family because Grandma called you on your selfishness? 

Did you ever stop to think about who sees your blog? Did you ever stop to think how hurtful you are with your words and actions?  Did you ever stop to think about the consequences?  Do you ever think about anybody besides yourself?  DO YOU EVER STOP TO THINK AT ALL?  Only about yourself. 

"Me Me Me.  Nobody else has stress, only me, so it's okay for me to treat family like crap, nobody else matters but me me me.  Where is MY Bullet train?  As long I get to work on time, who cares about you people, MY Problems!  MY PAIN!, MY STRESS! MY FRIENDS ARE MY REAL FAMILY, THE HELL WITH THE REST OF YOU!"  "I don't have time to bother with your birthdays but don't forget mine because i'll slam you in my blog." 

That works both ways. 

So, you don't look forward to spending the holidays with us?: 

The feeling is mutual:  Don't bother showing up this year, you are not welcome. 

Hmmm...Giving Thanks to Family who ALWAYS supports you and always accepts you for who you are: 

Again, WORKS BOTH WAYS!  When was the last time you remembered any of our birthdays? I no longer care if you remember my birthday but don't expect me to remember yours.  I care that you never acknowledge your grandparents, aunt and uncle on their birthdays.  Especially Grandma and Grandpa! 

Do you have any idea how much work goes into making a nice Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner for you and your family to enjoy, no matter how much her back bothers her.  She's done it all these years, not because she has to, but because she wants to.  Do you even care?  Well, I know the answer to that: NO!!! 

Well, I'd like to say that I don't care if you come over or not. Frankly, I hope you don't.  Christmas would be wonderful without you. If we're extended.  YOU'RE DISTANT!  

I don't like feeling like I *should* get you anything this year.  You don't deserve it.   By the way, you really are not good with computers. You're trying to succeed in a field that's meant for COMPETENT women and men.  So why don't you just stay home, put on a nice frilly apron and clean your home and bake a pie or two.  Oh wait!  you can't even do that right. You, Deary, are INCOMPETENT as a woman and as a human being, I use the term "human" lightly.   OUCH!!! that burn really must have hurt GOOD!

Nobody hurts my Immediate family and gets away with it, especially EXTREMELY DISTANT family members. 

YOU ARE 32 YEARS OLD START ACTING LIKE IT!.  SLAMMING YOUR FAMILY IN YOUR BLOG IS SOMETHING A SPOILED CHILD WOULD DO.  I HAVE NOTHING BUT A COLD HEART TOWARDS YOU.

That felt good.
