My family is 'Christian.' As in, we have other family that is christian and we celebrate all the Christian holidays but were not actually Christian. My grandparents are though, and they're rich too, so christmas for me has always been this super huge event. As a kid I had 3-4 Christmas's every year. Now I'm a teenager and my grandparents don't live as close to us anymore. With COVID and stuff christmas has mostly been going on vacation or a small family event. It feels a lot less like Christmas.
obviously thats a *** thing to complain about, but it's hitting me really hard this year. This year, like last year, we were gonna go on a cruise. My grandma is not doing well health-wise so this may be her last big vacation with us. I also haven't been able to see my cousins - who I adore - for a long time and we we're gonna see them at one of the ports the ship was gonna stop at.
I short, this was a very important vacation to our family. Now, I live in canada, and theres a huge snowstorm hitting my area right now. Its been bad for that past three days actually. Yesterday we went to the airport to get on our plane, which had so far not been cancelled, and waited for hours. First, there was just a slight delay cause the flight crew was a little late. Then, they were really late. And finally, our flight was cancelled. Not because of the storm, but because they didnt wanna wait any longer for the flight crew.
my grandparents paid for the cruise for all of us and now we can't go. Cruise lines are also really stingy about refunds so they have likely been duped out of a bunch of money. We have to stay home for christmas but we dont have any of our usual traditions. No tree, no stockings, and barely any decorations. Im a little happy cause I have a bunny at home who we could never bring with us on vacations. I love her to bits and so its nice to spend xmas with her.
in the end, I know my problem is trivial and I should be happy with what I have, and I am, I'm just really upset watching the last fun part about christmas go down the drain.
