Happy Christmas- NOT

[Lostworld01]

The joys of Christmas, the amazing adverts, the happy family gatherings, everything aimed at the BS reality - my reality…. Alone with not even a card - Happy fricken Christmas

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ but this is a falsehood i believe. This ' magical ' day is commercialised and is pretentious. Tragically, most people fail to realise that we are all children of god( the cosmic creator) God doesn't give a shit abkut anyone because there's no god. Its just absurd to think that the messiah is any different...still any excuse for a booze up.

I'm pretty sure that Christmas as it's currently celebrated is just a rebranding of Saturnalia with "Christ" attached to it. I used to love the holiday when I was younger, but now I just don't give a shit. It's just another day to me, but it can be a great excuse to get a day off from work to just get high and relax.

I'm sorry no one thought of you during the holidays. I'd send you a card if I knew you in real life, but I'd have a difficult time buying one from the store that doesn't sound like absurdly positive BS and don't really believe myself.

If I made one myself and sent it, I think the drunk Santa pic Pluto posted would be on the front, and the message inside would be this: "Something something about a reindeer. Life sucks and so does Christmas, but hopefully you have a good day regardless. And something else about a reindeer." At least the message in the card would accurately portray what I'm thinking then.

I used to love Christmas, but this year there's nothing happy about it. It's the first Christmas without my first dog. And my ex of 12 years who I thought was going to be there like he's been every Christmas even last year when we weren't together will spend it with his new gf and her family. So happy Christmas to me. I guess it's just another day anyway. Nothing matters.

You know what's absolutely gutting me this Christmas? All of the companies I ordered gifts from last year sending me emails about their holiday sales lol.

I'm recalling how different my life was on the outside last year. Internally, I still feel the same.

But I was able to buy overpriced jackets and hoodies. I purchased extravagant perfume sets. I showed up to one of my friend's house and was like, "What does everyone want? Send me the Amazon link."

A year later and I'm eating miniature candy bars for "dinner" and walking around my house dressed like an Eskimo in order to avoid turning on the heat.

Those emails, though... Everyday a new one. Reminding me of who I used to be.

used to love it.......now hate it

I don't care about commercialised forced optimism personally, it's all so fake to me and doesn't represent the harsh reality of existence. Christmas is just another day of not wanting to be here and it means nothing to me. There could never be anything worth celebrating in a world filled with endless torment and suffering.

Christmas is bollocks. Everyone celebrating something they don't believe in. If you do believe in it you still get shafted.

I hate Christmas. I was denied it as a child due to being raised a jehovahs witness. Now I hate it as I'm alone every year with not even a dinner as I'm too sick to cook. Literally nobody cares either. I think this will be my last.

That's my Christmas, too. Has been for the past couple years since my mom died. You are not alone in this reality.

And BTW, Merry Happy Frickin Christmas to you, too.

Christmas for me is a lonely day just like the other 364 days of the year. No cards, no invites to spend the day with the 2 people I know. Yes, I have family 3 hrs away, but when you're the depressed, suicidal sibling you don't get invites. I don't have a tree or decorate in any way. That would make me sadder. I'm not watching any holiday parades or making a special dinner. This is really not meant to be a pity party. It is what it is.

Man, I haven't put up a Christmas tree in more than 20 years, or any other decoration. Like you, I think, what is the point? I don't need it. Not just for myself. My mother put up a very small tree, and a few decorations for a lot of years, in her home, and that is where I spent my Christmas. Even the last couple years of her life, she didn't bother. We didn't need it. It was just the two of us. I'm not cooking just for myself, either. I used to cook and take it over to my mother's house, but can't do that anymore. Christmas, now, is just a day, like any other day, for me. I don't particularly hate it. And I don't like it. I just don't care. It is what it is.
