happy bah humbug

the happy bah humbug is for folks, like myself, who don't care to participate in the christmas traditions. i enjoyed happy bah humbugs for most of the decembers of my life.


this year finds me missing my happy bah humbug. in december, 2018, i gave up my happy bah humbug in favor of playing up christmas for the sake of distracting my two eldest gk's from the trauma of having been seized into protective custody after a police intervention on mommy and daddy's romantic interlude. baby sis had yet to be born. in 2019, it was a distraction from having recently buried both mommy and daddy. 2020/21 it was a distraction from the covidic madness.


2022 marks the 3rd christmas since the formation of our foster family. while i feel motivated to keep what fragile traditions we have formed in those 3 short years, i find myself nostalgic for my happy bah humbug. just me and my dog. . . with the spice of nostalgia, life don't get no finer.


happy bah humbug to all of you lucky abstainers out there.

I’m not a Christmas fanatic but I do like being around my family. So once I can get over the “dread” hump (I’m not even sure what I’m dreading) I experience the weeks leading up to Christmas, I relish the sense of relief once it’s over. Somehow I have a good time but feel like jumping out of my skin all at the same time.

Happy bag humbug with a dash of good cheer, haha!

"happy bah humbug" carries lots of good cheer in it. it says nothing more than enjoy your traditions and let me enjoy mine. scrooge and santa are not the only december options available. not everyone does christmas.

Feliz Bah Humbug :)

I hope I don’t lose internet again before I send this (things started flickering again), it’s been crazy & cold here. last night I had to shove clothes & blankets in the windows & under the doors because it was -7 degrees & wind & snow was blowin crazy.

It’s just gonna be me, Baby kitty & whatever animal I heard in the wall lol (I don’t blame whatever animal it is because it’s so cold I just hope they don’t make it in the house)

I will lite a candle tomorrow & think of you, I hope you have something pleasantly good happen mañana
