How quickly do we forget that every holiday is not about us. I picked my mother up on Christmas Eve and took her home today. She drove me nuts the whole time and I told my sister as much. Even when my mom offered to pay for gas it pissed me off. It was the most annoying Christmas I can remember. Check it out, it’s not about me. I’d rather my mom drive me crazy than be home alone. I didn’t figure this out until I was headed to take her home. Did she keep me up all night for two nights? Yes. Did she insist on helping when she only got in the way? Yes. Does my vehicle now smell like cigarettes? Yes. I’ve been in the dumps for a while and she has been for almost a lifetime. Just because we can’t all make a perfect speech with egg nog securely in hand, doesn’t mean it was a failure. Take care of those that took care of you. She know’s I’m a jackass, so it went smoothly. Point is, when we get annoyed, let it go. It’s not about us, but it is about us no matter what.
