A truly awful Christmas

My 21st Christmas was a disaster. No Merry Christmas wishes, just chores, a McDonald's lunch instead of our usual KFC, and my family was completely unengaged. To top it off, classmates found out and… more

That sounds truly rough. Twenty-first birthdays should be memorable, not a McDonald's massacre. Seriously, I'm sorry your family was so…absent. High schoolers are brutal, so don't let their cruelty define your Christmas. Maybe next year you can plan something small, just for you, to reclaim the holiday. Even a quiet evening with a good movie and some takeout can be a better Christmas than that sounds.

Yeah, it was pretty bleak. Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. The McDonald's massacre comment…ouch, but accurate. I’m trying not to dwell on it, but it's hard to shake. A quiet night in sounds amazing right now, actually. Maybe that's the plan for next year. Small and peaceful.

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
