Re: Christmas Wish Lists

(Anonymous) 2016-10-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Sort of. Some of us do, but there is a lot of anxiety and a lot of passive aggressiveness in my family, especially around the holidays, and so it's very shaped by that. And the idea of wishlists being somehow rude definitely plays a part in that.

So basically my brother is the only family member who is totally upfront about asking other people for wishlists, and just coming up with his own wishlists. Which is good but he also does it with a certain air of, like, going against the stream - like its a way of challenging our attitudes towards gifts. My father, on the other hand, doesn't ask for or give others wishlists - total radio silence. And he also doesn't vary his reaction when he opens his gifts at all. So as you might imagine it a pretty hard to get gifts for him. It comes off like hes intentionally being difficult. And then my mom and me follow a sort of stupid middle path, where we ask each other for our wishlists but feel guilty about it, and try to make wishlists of our own but struggle to come up with anything.

So basically, everyone has their own particular combative or anxious or passive aggressive attitude towards wishlists as part of our family's long and involved history of holiday dysfunction.

Merry Christmas!
