Dear Diary
This is day 30 of Christmas in a row. I enjoy the presents, but our parents are getting more poor as this continues. It won't stop snowing, Mariah Carey won't stop singing, this is just a nightmare. I know I wanted Christmas every day, but this is just absurd. I hope I am sleeping, because this dream turned into a nightmare.
Okay, it's Day 31, I think I am stuck in some crazy and insane loop. I love Christmas, but I want to celebrate 2021. The local newstation is also pretty confused, god might even be confused. I just want the day to go by as usual, I will and can do anything to do so.
Day 47, I think we are in a simulation, no way it's been 47 days for christmas. All though we don't have school, we are still stuck doing this same routine. I just pray that something happens to fix this situation. I love Christmas, I really do, but this is too much.
Day 47, it just occured to me we don't have to celebrate Christmas, we can just live our lives normally. I feel really dumb right now, but hey, atleast I got a break from School and chores! I am glad we also got to spend time as a family, instead of doing whatever we usually do by ourselves. I guess this wasn't so bad afterall, merry christmas to all and to all a good night!
