for me this year it is mixed emotions. i love going out and finding the perfect gift for my family members. i love to give but this year the time of year has come up and i just look forward to it coming to an end. im still looking for the perfect gifts to give cos thats me but the end of the year will hopefully bring a freash start into the new year. a chance to try and put things behind me. does anyone believe in the christmas mericle cos i dont but i know what i dream of everyday. i also believe in god so i do see the year as a celebration i just dont know what im celebrating.

ya it's christmas and the absolute worst time of year for myself. it's hard enough to watch everyone getting into giving so much (when not neccessarily needed). i know it's about giving but giving to who really? i would think to those in need. i may try something new this year i'm still deciding buy i think i'm gonna reach out and see if i can brighten someone elses holiday after all mine sucks.

it's a huge reminder of the family i no longer have. i have my children and i don't minimize this but i still miss having the rest of my family around the holidays. it's such a lonely time of year. that and the anniversaries that go along with it.

I enjoy watching my kids have fun...they get so excited.

But I tend to get a lot of anxiety. Christmas is wierd for me.

The year before last on Christmas day, in the afternoon, once my mother had drunk herself into a stupour, I went to the town square where the Christmas tree and lights are all lit up and glowing and sat underneath it by myself and an old lady came and sat with me. She didn't have any family and it was her first Christmas without her husband so she was all alone. We ended up going to a pub and had a Christmas drink together. It meant a lot to both of us I think, that we found eachother when we probably most needed it. I went back to the Christmas tree last year and she wasn't there. It made me kind of sad. I wonder if she'll be there this year?
I don't care if this guys account is closed so he can't respond to this. Ladies and gentlemen, this is human beauty right here.

Anyway. My thoughts? Bah. Consumerism for Christ, as my friend puts it so excellently. Just an excuse for a bunch of overweight Westerners to spend thousands on worthless crap that nobody ever needs, wants or uses, eat far too much, all the rest of it. I want to get away from it all. Although it's December 14 by now and it doesn't feel remotely like Xmas. Nobody's talking about it or anything. But I guess that's because I'm basically a hermit that doesn't go out. Plus, my depression started all over again because I have done no gift purchasing for anybody, yet I'm still broke.

I feel mostly cynical and jaded, but if I remove the commercialization, cultural appropriation, and dogmatic aspects, I start to feel like it's a time to be light-hearted and kind with the people I love. So that's good.

Christmas is just another corporate and religious holiday, as are so many holidays. I'll be asleep during the day.

Christmas is about family, faith and love. True, the media has commercialised it, but the media commercialises everything. If you've ever lost a loved one, then you can understand how this holiday is truly about love and togetherness and the goodness in people. Go to a homeless shelter and help out on Christmas day and see if you really still believe that this holiday is not about love and caring for your fellow man. You create the meaning of Christmas for yourself.

Christmas is so hard to cope with, especially when my life has just make a sharp turn into a new low. Another reason to hate myself hate my life.

It is all my fault for being alone, not only for Christmas, but also for the rest of my damn life.
