Annual Christmas Annual Turkey Drop Dinner Party: Fill & Download for Free

I qualify for this question on two counts; no spouse and childless. Parents have passed away. However I am 64, not 70. On the down side, I lost a corporate job two years ago and am struggling financially as I try to get a home-based business functional.So… Christmas ought to be glum, right?Not at all. First, I went to the local kennel club Christmas Party. Then friends treated me to the local Sing Along Messiah evening. Both are in the sponsoring choir. I volunteered at the MakerSpace Christmas craft event for kids, went with a friend for our annual tour of Costco while sampling, and attended a Makerspace Xmas potluck.After my father passed away, his widow re-married. She and her new husband decided I was still one of her ‘kids’, so I was invited to their family Christmas celebration on the 21st…turkey dinner, conversation, prezzies.Christmas Day I went to the annual drop-in breakfast hosted by two of my friends. I usually spend Christmas afternoon singing carols and performing canine freestyle at a care home but passed this year because I was sick with a newly-hatched cold.Christmas Day evening I went to another friend’s place for dinner with her and her brother (both now single and child-free). On Boxing Day I met with a single/child-free friend for morning coffee. My sister and her husband are coming in a couple of days…we’re talking movie and dinner and prezzie exchange…and early in the new year I’ll get together with friends and their children when they return from their family visit and I have a New Year’s gathering with the local cinema society.From all of the above and the other answers I see to this question, it becomes obvious that there are many great people in the world who will reach out to ensure you do not spend Christmas alone.Plus you can build your own ‘family’ and your own ‘traditions’ to fill the holidays. Several of the items I listed - the kennel club party, Sing Along Messiah, Costco sampling, Xmas with family-by-choice, drop-in breakfast, and care home performance have occurred for several years.

Last Christmas was amazing. weird. fast paced. pre-planned. emotional and accomplished.So my Dad wanted me to play trumpet in his Church’s Christmas Production on Christmas Eve. I thought that sounded insane, given that I live 900km away, but he managed to convince their band director guy to call me. Now that I knew I was actually wanted (and it wasn’t JUST dads ego).So I used Noteflight - Online Music Notation Software to develop a transcription for my parts, and applied for 1 day off work on the 22nd of December so I could come up and do 2 rehearsals before the big day.Work Christmas party: I have a bad tradition of not showing up to my Work Christmas Parties. Once I went because 2 of the girls on my team were going and they roped me into going. Then spent most of the night human-trapped into a corner by a massive crowd so I couldn’t get to them, then after standing in the same spot for about 45 minutes, someone backed into me and dropped about 5 beers on me, then I left.2017 I was seriously not going. But the girl I was developing a bit of a crush on at the time was going, and seemed enthusiastic about it. So I went. Had fun. Got fed Apple Ciders by her. Then left once the guy she had a crush on came and she stopped talking to me to dial up her flirt game on <her> crush while he talked about the time he was homeless for a few years. I left at about 11pm, which is seriously the longest I’d been to any party in over a decade. They’d go on to date about 2 months later in late January 2018.So I had about 300 hours of Annual leave available, and our job was scheduling future appointments. It was Friday the 22nd of December and basically our job would be … do 2 or 3 things and then probably not much thereafter till 2018. My crush and her friend were enthusiastic about working till the last day, because they were hoping for the money and/or had spent leave on recent holidays. Given the 2 girls were restored to work, I’d probably be home free to drive to my gig!LEAVE REJECTED.So the boss was forcing me to work on a ‘lame duck’ day. Oh well, maybe a half day?Half Day Rejected.Playing hardball I see. Oh well, If I leave at the end of my 8am-4pm shift, I can get to a town called Albury by 8pm, spend the night, then head on. Time to see if I can get a Motel for the night, so I can get to Sydney as early as possible and do at least 1 rehearsal before D day.HAHAHAHA I’ve Changed Your Shift. You Finish at 8pm now HAHAHA.Fuck you Boss.But my ace up the sleeve was | Motel24, Wodonga which had 24 hour Checkin kiosk and keyless entry to rooms. So now I was all set to arrive at 1am if nothing held me up leaving Melbourne. Accused Flinders Street driver has paranoid schizophrenia, court toldSo I got to Wodonga at about 2am, slept for 4 hours, then drove to Sydney. Did one rehearsal that afternoon, tired, and then did the Show itself, which was actually heaps of fun.I spent the week meeting up with friends of mine, eating turkey, and then drove home on New Years Day to the shitshow that was the first half of 2018. May it rest in pieces.This year I had no plans, but was starting to throw around maybe doing New Years Eve in Sydney, but have received the following news.My dad doesn’t go to “That” church anymore because a WIMMEN pastor took over the church and… well..Any man that submits to a woman pastor must be a BeTa cUcK fEmaLe and should listen to Jesse Lee Peterson to get their lives sorted out because they are Of thE SeEd oF SatAN Did Eve Have Sex with Satan? The Serpent Seed View of Genesis 3:15 By Robert Velarde and Childen of da LieShe once referred to the Passion Bible. What’s Wrong With The Passion “Translation”?various other Jesse Lee Petersen / Alpha Male anti-cuck Liberals = Athiests bullshit.So now he said he’s going to be spending Christmas with me. In my house. Till New year. For a whole week. Maybe 2.The lady I’ve been dating for a few months now is Going away to Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Swizerland and Italy through the entire Christmas - New Year period.My Airline Pilot friend just recently upgraded to Captain and is now the Junior-est Junior Captain on his fleet. He gets last pickings for day off bids and hasn’t even bothered asking for Christmas or New Years day off.My work has told us that, although we will be off for Christmas Day/Boxing Day public holidays and New Years Day public holiday, we will be running a full schedule onChristmas Eve till 5pm27th and 28th of DecemberNew Years Eve till 5pm2nd of January and the rest of January.So I have a feeling my Christmas will consist of1: Hiding stuff I don’t want my dad to find or throw out. This definitely includes pictures and photos of friends, gifts I’ve been given, any box for a product purchased ever. 1 of the 2 gaming headsets I have (one is a spare, but I’m considering it making it the “main” soon after a bit of testing).2: Trying to not fall into verbal traps where he seems “enthusiastic” or “Reasonable” about an issue, and then when you agree with his postulation, he turns it into a “Got ya” moment and then berates/belittles you for having such a soft position.3: Hours of Ray Comfort, Ken Ham, Jesse Lee Peterson, Jordan Peterson, Prager U, Avi Yemini, being played on my PC, to the point of not being able to use the thing to do any gaming, flight simulator file maintenance or additions, facebooking, or anything I want to do without heffie rhee deetherthom playing through my bloody speakers all fucking day.4: cooking dinner for dad.5: like a FEEEmale6: Never being sure if a “Hey lets go out and do X” is an invitation or a trap.7: Random islamophobia without provocation. Want to go to the movies Trent? or is the theatre rUn By mUsLImS?! It pRoBabLY is. I doN’t WanT to SeE aNytHinG rUn bY muSliMs!! NevEr tRusT A MusLIm!8: 3 word sentences you are meant to understand the implication of. (90% chance it’s about mUSliMS)9: Complicated questions that imply a lot of real-world detail and nuance is required, phrased in an open ended way, where a “I agree with your stance overall, but worry that application in the real world may hurt more people than it helps” = YOU AGREE WITH SATAN.10: Stuff going missing out of my house when he leaves, that I end up having to re-buy after spending 2 months searching for, and living without those things.11: Constant blaming of “my mother” for all his woes including but not limited to him not being a famous singer. Not being allowed to sing in his church. Her “Holding him back” from various things such as selling her house, buying random crap, going to the USA or Israel or New Zealand or to Regional Queensland, or being a Preacher, or Politician.11b: New Zealand’s current Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern is “An embarrasment” because she’s female, a communist, and totally embarrased the whole country by speaking Maori at her U.N speechMaori’s should put up and shut up. Once it used to be frowned upon to use that demonic language and they should just speak English like everyone else on the planet and conform. Why do Maori’s insist on using the Maori language on Maori land in New Zealand when they welcome people to their Maori homes they should just stop! (His wife, my Mother, is Maori. Her Father is buried on a Marae, and her Brother is a Maori language teacher in New Zealand. He spoke Maori to welcome us into the Marae when her other brother died and was buried next to his dad last year.)12: Asking who I voted for in the Election. If it’s the ALP, that’d be FUCKIN COMMUNIST. and if it’s the LNP that’d be FUCKIN STUPID, and if it’s the greens that’d be FUCKIN COMMUNIST. The only correct answer is “Pray to god”.So who should we vote for?Fred Nile.umm.. he’s not even sitting for an election in Victoria. (I also wouldn’t vote for him without being threatened with violence… and then I’d report the “vote under duress” to the electoral commission as soon as I have some time to go to the AEC office alone).13: Constantly yelling at the Television news about how evil/communist various people are. Sometimes they just have to show a photo of the Leader of the Opposition and it will set him off on a loud rant. Sometimes even if he thinks he’s alone in the house.14: Random shit getting broken around the house that will need repair or replacement. So far, victims have beenthe skirting board of my oven fell off.Lay-z-boy chair’s footrest broken into a permanent “Down” position due to misuse of the retraction mechanism.Broken mouse (was found hanging by it’s chord off the desk)Broken Chordless mouse.Broken Keyboard (keys missing).All the laquer on the hood of my car gone (scratched off with an abrasive polish) which I have just left like that for 4 years because it’d cost about $400 to replace REPLACEMENT BONNET IGNITION SUIT VE COMMODORE HOLDEN******2013 HO | Other Parts & Accessories | Gumtree Australia Knox Area - Bayswater | 1148414225 or maybe $150 to sand back and repaint the existing one.Broke a TV once by dropping it while moving it from the place where I put my TV to … um…Randomly moving furniture around constantly so everything’s “just slightly off” from being tidy.Bring on the Christmas lights, the 35°C days. And the normal work shift days at work where they turn the Air Con off because the office building thinks nobody is working over Christmas.Well maybe we can go to the movies and avoid talking to each other for a few hours.never mind then.
