Watch out for Drama Now

Today’s message is from the Hanson Roberts Tarot.  5 of Cups.  Well, it has already happened.  Six days to go and these words have just been uttered in my house. “I hate Christmas!” It always makes me sad, but it seems unavoidable at this time of the year.  The holidays are stressful for sure.

There is a chance that you will soon get sucked into someone else’s drama.  A family member, friend, or coworker who loves to play the martyr is about to have a classic meltdown.  Today he or she hates Christmas; but give it a day or two and the big guns will also swivel in your direction.  This person means well, most of the time, but he or she is chronically depressed and always perceives life as hard and ugly.  Take the high road now.  Hold your tongue.  A sharp answer is going to lead to further tears or anger.  If you are tempted to try to rush in and solve this person’s problems, offer solutions, or even attempt to help out by taking out the garbage or cleaning out the fridge …. I am waving you off, buddy.  Don’t.  Nothing you do right now is going to make things any better.  You are going to find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time and it is just not worth it.  If something needs to be returned to the store, purchased in person at the Mall, or if someone needs to be collected from the airport, THAT you can do.  Anything that gets you far away from this situation is appropriate.  Otherwise, seek cover and wait for this to blow over.  If you can, spend time with friends and family who uplift you now.  Just don’t come back to the scene of the crime smiling, with a buzz on, acting like you have actually been having fun at Christmas.  Heaven forbid!  God bless you and have a wonderful day.  Let’s be safe out there today –
