Two things that disappointed me during the holidays

Every year my holidays are spent filled with family, friends and not to mention tons of gifts. this year was the total opposite. Two things that disappointed me this year were not having money to buy gifts for my family and not being able to spend enough time with my twin sister.

Every year my mom makes sure that me and my twin get everything we want for Christmas. In the past, my twin sister and i always had a job during the holiday, so we always had money to buy gifts for our family. This year was different. My sister was the only one with the job, so when it came to handing out presents I was the only one not giving anything. I felt disappointed in myself because i seen how happy everyone was to give their presents to people and here i ws just sitting and watching.

This year since my sister had a job, she was working all the time. She was hardly ever home and when she was, she was either sleeping or getting ready for work. When the week of Christmas came, she was the busiest. She would work long hours and never really had time to spend time with me and my family.Christmas day was the worst. She was supposed to have the day off, but unfortunately her manager called her at the last minute to cover fofr someone. She couldn't say no, so she went into work. Thta night she didn't come home till 11 o'clock at night. She wasn't there to have Christmas dinner with me and my family. I was really disappointed but i know that she had no control over her work hours.

Not being able to spend as much time as i would have liked with my sister and not having any money to buy my family gifts were the two things that disappointed me during the holidays.
