I don't hate it, but I start to get burnt out on holiday shite right about now. When the Christmas commercials start on Halloween night, it's hard to keep the enthusiasm going through the New Year. Bring on Mardi Gras.

But it is.
Your entire perspective is in this one sentence. Reach inward, connect to your true purpose of why you’re here.. and watch yourself bust at the seams with excitement and joy. Not just during Christmas but throughout the year.

But Christmas you will be on fire for sure!!

It’s weird

This should be my worst Christmas ever after all my dad is no longer physically here. Both my brother and I are both going through divorces. I won’t be able to see my daughter yet it’s definitely not the worse considering the ex ruined our daughters first Christmas

Despite all these obstacles I have regained old friends, made new ones, started exercising and investing more in myself, have a new confidence to find a true partner to love me, about to graduate, about to be licensed in a career I passionately love and am still blessed to be a dad.


I am not depressed at all. And it will be the best Christmas I will have in many years.

My Father died 2 days before Christmas when I was 8. I've had some Christmases that really disappointed me in what I received and what I gave and I have come to the realization a while back but nothing makes me feel better than serving others.

Expect very little from others and do your best to exceed others expectations of you. Serve someone who can do you absolutely no good at all.

Pray.

The other alternative is inevitable. Better to embrace it now than in your last days.

Man, you is 60 years old and it signifies another year of life that you have completed. Lots of people die way before their time and you are here bitching about being alive and well.

apparently not very strong faith or you'd have overcome your low and depressing thoughts by now, no? Maybe you should seek medical help

I don’t hate Christmas but I do wish it was January.

This time of year has been really rough on my dad’s mental illness. I know it is making him worse from all the holiday stress. His stress means I’m stressed cause his care and that of my immediate family all rest on my shoulders at the moment.

It is hard to find joy this time of year when you are constantly stressed. I pretty much am just going through the holiday motions myself. Just doing what I have to do to make it until January.

I would rather quietly celebrate the birth of Christ alone than have all this holiday pressure on me.

Sue me.

I'm sick of these whiny frickers coming out at Christmas with their sad-sack, woe is me, I'm depressed shite. I don't see them whining or "asking for help" on NYE or July 4th. No, they only start their shite when the rest of the world is (trying to be) happy. Its attention whoring at its worst.

And trashy.


I've been plenty sympathetic to posters here with real issues who have experienced significant events, but the metoo shite gets old. Especially for someone who has "dark thoughts". Lose a loved one and come see me. Till then...STFU

frick off a-hole.

Try dealing with your father being severely mentally ill (and a suicide attempt)and also the stress of not being able to have a child. Having to have multiple surgeries for a small tiny chance of maybe being able to get pregnant. Plus having to make sure your immediate family in AZ is taken care of. Knowing that it is all on your shoulders alone.

Then you tell me how cheery you are frickface.

I know you've got a lot of pressure on you. You should definitely take a day to yourself to relax and unwind. Maybe a movie and pedicure or something fun.

I love the spiritual aspects of Christmas and the festivities,ovies, music, etc...

Absolutely hate the over emphasis on gifts.

I love the Christmas season, but I cannot stand the expectation of gift buying for the sake of buying. Especially since that expectation in my life tends to be for people I rarely see rather than my close friends I know a lot more about.
