so finally christmas is over yayaya!

Post Reply New Topic

i talked about it with a couple ppl decided to come back to wp heheh, had to take alittle 4 day vacation, ughh christmas was soo stressful. my brother got a gf this year so we had to go his gfs house and meet her whole family including aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma ahhhh. Id have to say it turned out ok, i sat on the chair with my bf rocking, headshaking, flapping, signing to him. Her dad omgosh i would sign up for the autistic committee hehe, came over chatted with us, later on i even wrestled with him lol he even picked me up in the air, swung me around and sat and watched a christmas story with me because i was always by myself haha, hes da bomb lol. He did however talk to me really slow in a more high pitch voice like i'm not only a toddler but i'm also slow lol, but thats expected i guess lol. The whole family was wary of me like they didn't know what to think of me, because the way i interacted was grabbin their legs, while they walked by, and signed the whole, maybe a couple words here or there, but didn't seem to be bothered at all. Then we had to go to my other aunts, but their so understandable, all i did was line things up and stare at this glass diamond looking thing while humming and rocking, and signed there as well. We came home played some boggle which i looove and im amazing at, and i bounced around all night then went to bed. Thank gosh its over hahah.

Thank you everybody for caring, i read all those posts, your all sooo sweeet. I dont care about pegasus, screw her/him, you can't assume or judge a person by their posts or how they type, they want to meet me, i'll be glad to meet anybody. This july i think it is, i'm planning on going to the autreat, so if anybody wants to meet me, should be there if all goes well. I'm just going to ignore her, and it was off the site of AL, its funny people assume by what they see is something, but just like danielismyname proved to me that even from what i see is not true for everybody, and im constantly around autistics so thats crazy. Anyways good to be back hehehe .

Welcome back home, Age1600.

Hello, again Age1600. I hate Christmas. The slowest and most expensive time of year.

Hi, Age1600. I'm glad you're back.

December 25 is only the 1st day of Christmas (in case anyone knows where the "12 Days of Christmas" refer to).

Good to see you're back. I'm always glad when Christmas Day is over too.

nice to see u back.. even tho i dont think ive seeen u befre here .
aww christmas wasnt tht bad!

To be honest, I wasn't aware that you'd left. I just figured that you hadn't posted for a while - so I've got no idea of what ruffled your feathers.

Regardless, I like you, you're very down to earth and your posts have always been interesting, honest and sometimes a little amusing (when they're supposed to be). So I'm glad I didn't know that you were gone.

On the internet, as with everywhere in life, there are always some people who want to be sad/annoying. You have to choose to ignore them because there are always nice people too.

I'm glad your Christmas was good. It sounds like your brother has found a nice gf with a great and understanding family. You should send them a card saying thank you for such a wonderful day.

I'm glad you decided to not let someone online bother you.

Awesome to see you back, Age!

I'm also in with the Bah Humbug crowd unfortunatly. All Christmas does for me is cause me tons of f*****g shiny wrapped anxiety. All I see in it, dispite great efforts not to, is commercial greed, debt, family disputes etc etc. If there's a time & place to air a greivence, then it's Christmas, usualy over the fancy trimmings of dinner. heh.

All I did this year was sit at home with bf, watch walace & Gromit & cook lol. The actual day dosn't cause me so much greif, it's the build up to it that often starts in August! This year I did something I would seldom do before, I bought all my gifts in November so I did not have to face the crowds so much. Tbh I do miss a lot of people, but I don't miss the social gatherings & dinnertable conversations I could never find a way into.

I see it as a new year, so all my favorite shows like LOST start back up again soon

Welcome back. Usually I eat in my room but make exceptions for Thanksgiving/Christmas but this year I said the wrong thing (as from my reading posts on WP something AS people do) and then went off to my room.) IMO One thing I need to start doing is standing up for myself something I have a hard time doing sadly.

I am glad you're back, too, Age. We miss you at NI, too.

I used to hate Christmas because of my family---my parents always spoiled it by arguing and bickering. And I never understood the let-down I felt after Christmas was over. I didn't really like the gifts I thought I really wanted and finally got. I think it was because I didn't really like the people they came from.

When I married and had my own family, I made my own Christmas traditions. We have a stress-free Christmas and we all do what we want to do. We don't visit relatives. I only buy gifts for my kids. (My husband hates getting gifts.) If I want something for Christmas, I get it myself. We eat, nap, watch TV, chat, read, play video games, etc. When we get cabin fever, we go to Starbuck's or Walmart.

If someone wants to see me, they can come to my house, but only one family at a time. Fortunately, none of my family gets along, so we hardly ever get company. Both of my sons and my husband (and it appears, I, too) have some degree of autism or Asperger's, so that is the perfect holiday for us. It is quiet and relaxing. We all unwind from having to spend time dealing with people at work.

If anyone hates Christmas or any other holiday, I recommend that s/he start their own holiday tradition and does something that makes him/her feel good about the holiday. Take back the holiday for yourself and do it the way you like it, if you can--or at least part of it. I love Christmas now and look forward to it every year.

Routine is off! topic

This is what I do not like about this season. I like the bright lights, the atmosphere, but routines are off and I like many others, are prone to meltdowns. And there are too many people milling about. I really do not like New Years at all, except that my son's birthday is on December 31st. Too much noise.

I will be happy, as others will, the week starting January 4th, 2009.

Nice to see you back Age1600. I am glad you did not leave over a mythical horse. Not a great gift!!

I'm glad to see you back, though I haven't been around much myself.. and glad you had a nice holiday
