I shall title this as:
The Dreaded Singing in Christmas
So my father's birthday is December 25 so...it's more of an embarrassing moment every year than a tradition but here we go. My father's a silent man when he's with us. He doesn't show much emotions. But he's VERY outgoing when he's with his friends. And anyway, as of any birthday party, we sing happy birthday. But no, it's not your jolly happy birthday, it's f***ing awkward. Like
literally every year, we'd awkwardly sing, every single one of us yearning for it
to be over.
After this minute of mind-numbingly awkward singing, we'd pause because we have no idea what to do. Are we supposed to say something? To hug him??? Or at least do something!?!? After a minute or so, we just begin to eat because....just to stop.... whatever the hell's going on in here. You'd think singing and well wishing in this situation was just a simple gesture, but no, it's really THAT BAD.
(I know someone will say, "It's just singing, stop whining" but yeah we try but...i just can't explain the awkward tension in the air that's so excruciatingly odd, I can't even understand it lmaooo it's one of those moments where you HAD to be there to understand, but I hope y'all get the point lmao)
It became a sort of untalked about anticipated event, you know, one of those dreadful events that people anticipate and cringe at the same time. It's excruciatingly painful, yet exciting, but no one seems to want to address it verbally lmao....and oh God the time is near to do that sh*t one again.
