The Christmas and New Years Holidays are my Least Favorite Time of the Year

I often think that I'm just one tearfully-emoted rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" away from going on an axe-murdering spree.

Beyond the superficially maudlin tone of the original, I loathe how every subsequent remake of that song has been hijacked by a kind of ironic sentiment that seems to be trying to say "I know you won't, because you're drowning in credit card debt and ridiculous obligations, but I'll go through the motions of appearing to wish you a Merry Christmas anyway." Very millenial.

For the sake of your sanity and the safety of those around you, do not under any circumstances expose yourself to the James Taylor version of the song.

I'm not kidding.

It's just a reminder to me I haven't built a family to share these special times with and my blood relatives are too fragmented to ever hope to see all of them in 1 room again. This is the 2nd year in a row my ltr collapsed a month before Christmas and the girls i would usually fuck are out of town.

I have friends that make it bearable. That and gin.

One of the better things about being divorced is not having to go halfway/all the way across the country to my in-laws. They were nice pleasant people and all, but I still abhorred the bullshit and gift giving/exchanging and sitting around for days on end just to be a good sport.

Shit could be alot worse like celebrating Christmas under the fear of being discovered, jailed, and maybe killed.

You guys need to take that candy cane out of your ass and enjoy you friends and family (friends or blood) - they could be taken from you anytime.

I lost one of my best friends this year in the Vegas shooting, and just discovered a pic of us dressed up at an Xmas party 6 years ago.

What I'd give to have another beer with him during the holidays.


Keep in mind, I didn't grow up in a nuclear household, no biological father, a mother that was on the side lines, I can't tell you the last time I sat down to a family dinner, and to top that was taking care of a sick grandmother most my teenage years.

Hell I only had a few years window where Xmas was "real" to me.

Life wasn't the greatest, but I still look forward the holidays because people just seem nicer, the vibe is better, and it's just a good time of year.

What we should be striving for is making every day of the year like that.

I'm not even talking about consumption of material shit or booze either.


Hell I was raised Muslim and still enjoyed Christmas.

TL;DR Stop being salty ass niggas, enjoy your friends, family, women, and time off.


P.S. Spoiler Alert: Virgin Mary was no virgin, she was a whore.

Here's a good reason why a summer Xmas isn't quite the same.

Who thought that was a good idea?

I fly one of my Eastern girls back for 3 months so I can stand being in such a dysfuntioanl broken country (Australia)! Having a real feminine woman around makes life so mich better even tho I tell them I'm not into anything serious right now! They cook, clean and show you respect! Can't wait to head back to SEA in a couple more months!

I don´t like Christmas and everything about it. But I appreciate vacation and christmas sweets.
On Christmas night I am going to earn some extra as a bouncer in the club and if there will be chance, I´ll also take new year´s night.

Was looking forward to Christmas with my IvanDrago style attitude until tonight. Found out today that my immediate family Christmas dinner has turned into an extended family dinner due to them having a fall out with my cousins boyfriends family Pissed isn’t even the word. Been cornered 5 days before Christmas under the premise of ‘they can’t be themselves’ and its just because they want to get drunk while other people cook whereas we only have a drink or two. They haven’t even offered my grandparents any money for food. Too many people worried about keeping up appearances and aren’t bullish like myself.

People I only see once a year trying to make my girl uncomfortable, mostly as we are the youngest. The type of people who only know anything about what you are doing with your life due to word of mouth from other family members. The type who have all had bad relationships and are only worried about drinking at the weekend in their 50’s. I do not want this for my family in the next generation. I can deal with it but now can’t enjoy a relaxing Christmas. Too late to book anywhere for just me, my girl and parents and already been on the phone to say that no crap will be tolerated. Will be booking a restaurant for those closest right beside where I stay by summer latest for next year.

Can’t believe people tolerate spending time with people they don’t like never see/bother with all year till their 40’s/50’s/60’s under the premise of being ‘festive’

Since being divorced, I have usually gone to Miami and stayed in South Beach for a few days over Xmas. Fun times, got laid a couple times, got robbed by some chick I picked up drunk at 4am on Ocean Dr one Xmas night who I knew was trouble but did not give a fuck. Helped me immensely to get over the pain of not being with my kids and it really doesn't feel like Xmas down there. Hard to be depressed sitting on a beach in beautiful weather. I try to go every year at Xmas since my ex gets the kids every Xmas (I'm not Christian so I was ok with it). It's actually pretty busy then with enough single chicks down there then. This year unfortunately I won't be able to go because the IRS wants a bunch of money from me so I figured I had better pay them if I ever want to see South Beach again. I'll go see my parents, sister and her family instead, which will be fun and relaxing.

As for NYE, yeah it's amateur night so I try to avoid going out but I think I'm going to be stuck going out this NYE.
 
Just booted my blue pill beta housemate in time for Xmas.

Double rent, no work. I should be stressing hard about the financial loss.

I’m not.

I’m sitting here in my underpants, eating cheese, swilling Kombucha & beer & just thanking Jesus & Santa I don’t have to see my fucked up family when I’m “supposed to”.

It’s great to be adult.

I get a kick out of spoiling my young relatives and cousin's kids during this time of the year. They are genuinely good kids so I like shopping for some stuff they want.


Christmas time is fun if you see it from the perspective of children. If you want a non jaded Christmas experience just turn off the tv and computer and not let your mind get polluted with mainstream interpretation of how you're supposed to celebrate Christmas.

Then again I have good relations with most of my family/extended relatives because we are a drama free bunch. Plus all my relatives are spread out all over the world so it's really rare for us to see one another.

Ba-humbug! It's the most horrible time of the year.

...If I hear that stupid Paul McCartney Christmas song again, i'm going to go postal.

OP is simply not having a wonderful Christmas time.

Merry Christmas all! Last night I hosted a party for a large group of students at one of the art schools I worked with. It was fun. Today will be a peaceful Christmas day for me.

I've been seeing this girl since August or so. She's got some red flags. Despite all that I'm pretty crazy about her.

She knows the holidays are hard for me. Day before yesterday I was kind of a dick for no reason, came home from work and drank myself to sleep, told her not to come over.

Yesterday I woke up feeling better, told her to come over.

I got home from work last night and this bitch hung christmas lights up on the outside and inside of my house, hung a stocking for me filled with tons of thoughtful gifts, zip tied some misteltoe to the ceiling (the same zip ties I use to restrain her wrists sometimes when we're fucking) brought more presents besides the stocking, candy, had a bottle of 18 year scotch open, and was lounging peacefully on the couch with my cats. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Almost. Enough to warm this cold black heart.

It was about the best Christmas present I've ever gotten.
