Do you like christmas?

This is my least fave time of year.

My family consistently throw a big Christmas party and I'm sure they know it unsettles me but they still do it anyway. Loud music. Loads of people. A whole weekend of this and I'm trapped in the house. I like Christmas music if it's played quietly and the decorations can look nice but the busy city and large gatherings make it a really unsettling time for me and when my house is suddenly like it as well I get the usual sense of dread.

Yesterday my parents informed me this year there will be another party for me to endure. My dad says if I don't like it I could move. I will move out for definite when I can afford it, money is tight as I've only just got in to the workplace and my chosen job nursery assistant the pay sucks LMAO so for now I'm having to save and save and save to afford the finer luxury of escaping my parents house. Sadly despite my trying to explain about autism they don't get it. I'll be 25 next year and I'm hoping at some point then I'll be able to look in to renting an apartment, if I can afford Londons rather expensive properties.

  • One of my best xmas's was spent researching my dissertation, just me, a cat, a pile of books and a fridge full of food that I wanted, none of which was traditional.

    I agree with Oran, roasts are boring, they're pretty boring to cook too, I don't understand why peole get in such a flap about it, its all about timing and being organised and as or people who freak out at having to cook for 8 instead of 2 or 4, well, you know how many potatoes you need for the number of people you usually cook for, just double or triple it.
