At least he eats some of the treats, yes, which means he likes some of them. I'm sorry he's such a grouch, but at least you love him enough to take care of him. After all, he is your dad. He isn't like that all year, is he? You mentioned seasonal depression, so maybe he is more cheerful in the summer? Maybe he really will like the gifts. I hope he does. Whether you do as good as someone else or not, you do the best you can, and you show that you love and care for him. Maybe he really does appreciate you, but has difficulty expressing it.
Merry Christmas! I hope you had a good Christmas.
I am better now and have been having a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas. Yesterday, some friends and I went shopping. I found some gifts for my family. They'll be late though. Today, we got together and exchanged gifts, had a delicious lunch, and watched Silent Night. It's based on a true story, though half of it is made up and the real story behind it is much sweeter (and a whole lot sadder at the end, too).
Then I called my family, which lives far away. They gather together around and on the holidays (depending on the year/circumstances), and talked to them on speaker phone. I need to call one or two family members who were not there though, if I can get hold of them, so I won't be on long.
I've made a new year's resolution to quit gaia online. But I will wait for the pixel dolls and maybe order more (if you're ok with that) before I go. I might come back online every now and then to quest art and other things, or to chat to people...but, I just can't handle gaia online anymore. It's not what it used to be, and I'm not who I used to be.

Merry Christmas, again.
