I don't do Christmas. My family has known this for the past decade. I moved home a year ago (just before Christmas) and now that I'm here, they expect me to be a part of their celebrations. I have no problem getting together and having dinner - but I am expected to also pitch in on family gifts and be there while they're doing all their Christmas crap.
DESPITE THEIR EXPECTATIONS OF ME... they do not communicate with me if I have questions. For example, my aunt is buying a tablet or e-reader for my sister. I asked her via Facebook what kind of thing she was getting as I was going to get a gift certificate to go along with it. My aunt didn't bother to respond to me as of yet (and yes, I know she's been online and has seen it - love that Facebook function).
PLUS... knowing full well that I have no interest in being a part of the Christmas part of things, they are complaining to me that I'm not going to be showing up early enough - when I've said from the beginning what time I'm going to show up and we all had plans to bring my dad his Christmas present (we all went in together on a snowblower for him) when I showed up. I'm just tired of the holidays already and CANNOT WAIT for them to be over.
