Christmas '08

[skeptik]

What books are you going to ask for this year?

It consists mostly of weird fiction. Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Charles Robert Maturin, Oscar Wilde, Ambrose Bierce, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Andre Gide.

I'm planning to spend this time of the year with family and friends, nothing new really. I'm also throwing a big ass party at the end of the month and it's looking awesome so far.

As for gifts, i'm planning to get some clothes and cd's for myself, though my family always give me some nice clothes for the holidays. I also wanted a 1 terabyte external hard drive and already a friend got it for me

I'm obliged to make a list every year, since my mother pesters me for one until I make one.

i get the same harassment. hence my earlier comment about drum stuff.

i wanted to spend it with a special someone but that went to the shitter cuz she's spending christmas in another fucking country

 

[waif]

Anyone else find Christmas really depressing? Even spending it with my family is depressing...I can't imagine how fucking depressing it'd be to spend christmas alone.

 

[divine_torture]

It's not bad actually. I get depressed cuz the season honestly, not the holiday. Even though I love winter.

I haven't done anything for Christmas in years. My family could never afford it and now I just don't care. But I gotta buy shit for other people. I never ask for anything for my b-day or christmas, and people actually respect that request and don't get me anything.

Yeah, I actually do find Christmas depressing. The holidays are a really difficult time of year for me, a lot of bad stuff has happened to my family around Christmas.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

How the fuck is Christmas depressing? You freaks.

 

[waif]

Kinda reinforces just how empty a lot of connections are...also drives home how pathetic and hypocritical people can be.

You know when you see an old movie or whatever where it's Christmas eve and there's some bum walking around drunk and bitter? That's me in 30 years.

I can't really explain why, but yes, I always do feel depressed about that time. And it's definitely not because of the season. I don't know, all those holidays have become very commercial so I guess it might be the knowledge that hundreds of millions of people are having a great time, getting lots of presents and stuff like that, while my life around that period stays equally bad as it used to be before and will be when it all ends.

When your family members start dying, that's when it really gets depressing.

It's because you get the feeling that everywhere else all the other families are dancing round the christmas tree and laughing while your own family has nothing to say to each other and just sits there.

Hehe I remember last year and the year before about this time on two (or three?) other forums when everyone else was being so hyper and happy about the incoming Christmas and I was like the only negative person so I even wrote about the historical/religious background to show how stupid and false Christmas is, and everyone was like "you just don't understand the Christmas spirit" and stuff like that... I've never met so many people who feel the same way about this as I do like in this topic

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'll be doing the family/presents/food thing followed by an all night party with my friends, which has become a tradition to relieve the stress of dealing with family all day.

That's a real sad place to be. I don't really find christmas depressing, though I hardly make the fuss most people do.

I love holidays. I get drunk with my father over dinner and we brag how much better we are than my mother and sister.
