What is it about the holidays and my family that stresses me out so much??? Every year it's the same. It could be that my brother refuses to help plan or makes decisions or even buy Christmas presents on his own. Or the fact that for some reason other people feel the need to complain to me about it, as if I have any control over him. He's 22 and makes his own choices.

I love my family to death, but every freaking holiday they bring me to tears with their obsessive and ever-changing schedules. I swear, when I have kids of my own I am staying at my own place and making people come to me if they want to see me!

Ho, ho, merry ho.
