Being with family and seeing how empty and boring my life is, I miss my mom and long dead family members, Christmas has gotten so commercialized, people only care about Amazon, Black Friday and sales. What new toy Susie wants and what new video console Frankie wants. I've gotten to where I hate it. I have to hope someone takes me shopping or to remember to go online. I didn't even buy myself anything because I didn't get to Best Buy. I would just assume skip the whole thing.
The commercialization of what this celebration is all about. Although December 25th is not the day of Christ's birth, it was a day picked by the Roman Catholic Church to celebrate this day as Christ Jesus' birth.
Many have forgotten this or don't care. Many are more concerned about what's on sale on Black Friday and don't care who gets run over or trampled as long as they get what is on sale.
Please take time to remember the real reason we celebrate CHRISTmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
Merry CHRISTmas and Happy HOLYdays. May GOD bless all of you.
Note: Holy days that's how we got holiday. I heard it this morning in David Jeremiah's CHRISTmas sermon.
Seems pretty self evident, doesn't it?
It's the first year without parents, the family home of 58 years or any celebration with my family. It's a sad passing but compared to some here I am fine. I had an incredible family & hold nothing but great Christmas memories.
Not dread, but I'm already getting tired of the usual BS about the "meaning of Christmas" and what is the appropriate wish for the holidays. But two more trips out, tomorrow and at the start of the holidays on Wednesday, and there won't be anything left but the good stuff to enjoy for the two weeks.
Well, the last 3 certainly haven't been enjoyable..... too much drama &/or pain. I don't typically look forward to them. However, being home alone is not fun either.
Pretty much all of it, honestly. I'm not welcomed by my SO's family. I'm welcomed my family, but my brother sexually abused me when I was growing up and my parents don't know - they therefore don't know why I won't talk to him let alone be in the same house as him. My parents are divorced and my mother has borderline personality disorder. That all makes not very welcoming.
It's just painful and awkward for me. I'd prefer to spend each holiday alone.
Traffic and crowds in general. I also hate that the holiday season can sometimes bring out the worst in people - being self-centered, greedy, and just downright rude
