How I Spent the Holidays
Forgetting about people during the holidays is horrible3 total reviews
Comment from Anne Johnston
Such a sad story. I used to do a big gathering at Christmas and have all the family there, but no longer do that. For the last few years, I have spent it with either my daughter or son, except 2020, when I was alone because of Covid restrictions. I can't imagine family forgetting you entirely on Christmas or any other time.

Yes, it is sad. They seem to think that since their father died, I did, too. They act as though I have no feelings.
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces a family gathering tradition for celebration that was cultivated and perpetuated by the protagonist and her husband until the death of the latter.
The work highlights a great part of day spent in cooking variety of meals for relations and well wishers on every holiday and how the celebrations moved to respective families that left the protagonist lonely.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of cooperative and uncaring anecdotes.
Excellent work. Bravo.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

well, it's certainly not my place to say it, but your family was not only terribly rude, bit thoughtless and inconsiderate. I can't imagine no gifts or calls or anything on Christmas, or birthday. I'm sure you were very hurt. What about the son living at home. Didn't he do anything???
That is a sad story. I'm sorry.
You did tell it well, with details, etc., though I don't know how in the world you cooked all those things Christmas morning before noon!

The cooking was timed out and done on a very precise schedule. The son that lives with me cooked me dinner for my birthday, but was unable to afford gifts as most of our money goes in gas because he works thirty miles away one way. And yes, they were rude, thoughtless and inconsiderate. Thank you for saying so!
