How Was Your Holiday?

This is a question that many people ask and get asked at this time of the year. But how many people really care about how someone else's holiday was? My experience is that people would much rather share about their own holiday experience and care much less about how someone else's was. Now, of course this isn't always the case; I mean, I am sure some people genuinely care about how someone else spent their holiday, but I believe those people are far and few between.

That being said, so no one has to ask me and wonder if I think they are the one's who genuinely care or are just asking to ask, here is my holiday. On Christmas Eve I spent the day with Chris cleaning the house. We worked literally the entire day getting everything cleaned and organized. On Friday morning, Christmas Day, we finished the cleaning and then I began to get the food and appetizers together, as we decided to have family over here for Christmas this year. Everything was going quite well. All the food turned out and was ready at the same time, people were in good spirits and really seemed to be excited for the get together. Right as my family arrived, I received a phone call. This phone call was from someone wanting to wish me a Merry Christmas and to let me know that though they still want to be with me in the future, but that they have no desire to be with me right now. They have no desire to work on the relationship and don't want to deal with me or the relationship in any way, shape or form at this time or in the near future. After this phone call, I broke down for a bit and then pulled it together and went on with the family holiday. The rest of the day went quite well, filled with yummy food, fun games and plenty of gifts. I received gifts to help me set up my new place and am ready to have a place to call home. I couldn't help but think about the phone call and what this means, but for the most part was able to put it aside for the time being, in order for me to have a pleasant day and to address the implications of the phone call later, which ended up being on Saturday.

So, I guess on Christmas I found out I am single, had a nice time with family and received gifts to help me feel settled in my apartment. So, how was your holiday?
