Although for many people Christmas Eve is a joyful day, it turns out that there are also those who are afraid of what a meeting with their family at the table will look like. Many people think it is hypocritical when on Christmas Eve we share the wafer with people we simply do not like. The story of our reader confirms these words.
“When Christmas Eve is approaching, it makes me shudder to think that I will have to go to their house and pretend to be happy.”
We are a married couple with several years of experience. We get along and I don’t have any marital problems. I’m glad that it looks like this here, but not everything is so rosy. We don’t have a good relationship with our parents. Mainly because they interfered too much in our relationship so we cut them off from us. Now that Christmas Eve is approaching, it makes me shudder to think that I will have to go to them and pretend to be happy. I don’t want to share the wafer with my husband’s family. If I leave the table, they will talk about me anyway, so I don’t see any point. To me this is pure hypocrisy. I know that they are also not comfortable talking and pretending that our relationship is good. I’m laughing as I write this, but this is exactly how adults behave.
“Every year I dream of spending Christmas in a remote area or going to the mountains”
Every year I try to stay serious and use common sense. First of all, I do it for the children. I know that I should follow what I think is right, but I don’t want to make unnecessary scandals. I have already suffered so much in my life, so another battle will certainly affect my mental health. I think many people know what I mean and have similar problems as me. Every year I dream of spending Christmas in a remote area or going to the mountains and not worrying about gifts, food or atmosphere. I hope to experience such holidays someday. I know I need it. For now, everything we do is with children in mind. We organize holidays so that they have the most beautiful memories.
