description: Clark Griswold was onto something at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbuganother breakup a broken toe an office promotion I deserved and didnt getIm not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ happ happiest Christmas EVER.When Mom insisted that we all gather at my Grandparents ancient cabin for an old school family Christmas I fully intended to get into the holiday spirit with the help of the three wise men Johnnie Walker Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. But those boys did absolutely nothing to offset the shock or temper the sting of seeing my EX on our doorstep the first day of our holiday soiree.Apparently Santa missed the memo and this elf is pissed.Stuck for a week with the man who obliterated my heart nearly two decades ago I did the only thing I could do and put on my game face thankful for the home advantage.I knew better than to drink that last cup of eggnog.I knew better than to get tongue tangled beneath the mistletoe with the only man to ever break my heart.I knew better than to sleep with Satans wingman on the eve of the Lords birthday.I could blame the nog. I could blame the deceitful light blue eyes thick angelic hair and panty evaporating smirkbut mostly I blame Eli because he always knew exactly which of my buttons to push.I foolishly thought a family Christmas filled with nostalgia was going to turn my inner Scrooge around but this years festivities went up in flames. Leave it to the ghost of my Christmas past to be the one to light the match.Fa la la la la la FML.
