So today is Christmas Day. I spent time with family, my mom and dad, and my mom’s side of the family.
I got 10 t-shirts, which doubled my current collection of shirts. I’m pretty pumped because they include: Clit 45, Discharge, Crass, Exploited, Virus, Minor Threat, and other bands. I’ve been way too lazy to ever order them, so it made the perfect gift. My parent’s worried if I’d be upset, or something less extreme than that. I was cheesin’ it hardcore opening up the shirts from their wrappings. I finally have gear sportin’ my favorite bands.
But also I wondered how many families were broken today. How many mom’s and dad’s fought because either one was stuck at work due to a boss, or because of their business ventures trying to create their own way of life. Or how many kids cried to “Santa” wondering why some kids got more presents, and why they got so few - if any. Or..how many people got their gifts and shrugged their shoulders, while people still went without nothing.
Hell, I was one of those kids, if it wasn’t something I completely wanted, I was like “aww why.” But then again, I was a kid. I was ignorant to things, and that’s part of growing up
