You know what's the worst?
Being sick during the holidays.
Randomly, 5 days before Christmas, I came down with a severe cold. Making me useless until after Christmas. I couldn't go and get gifts for the family. Of course, they understood that I was in no condition to be driving anywhere but, I really wanted to get them presents this year. I practically ruined Christmas... for myself. My family was doing just fine.
Now I know I didn't ruin Christmas or anything, that would be a horrible exaggeration but, admittedly, I did feel a little bad.
Watching my parents and my sister open gifts from each other and express gratitude, appreciation, and love for the thoughtfulness made me feel like I haven't done enough. In the season of giving, I did not want to only receive gifts.
Well, I can't pity myself forever.
I have made a plan for next Christmas. I will make sure my immune system is strong for the winter and I will go out and get amazing presents for my family. Simple but, obtainable.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I'll make sure to post before the new year.
