There I was, firing myself up, telling myself that this would be a "happy" Christmas because 06 was a good year for me and yet here I am again wishing that Christmas would just eff off and end already. What is with that?
 
I suppose it has a lot to do with what you expect from it and make of it. For over 50 years, I've had some wonderful Christmases. Since Mom died, I haven't had any and have stopped celebrating.

It still means a lot to me, and I decorate for it, but I simply don't celebrate it except for having my own little bit of turkey and pumpkin pie.

It saddens me, of course, and I could easily be depressed because of it, but I don't allow myself to do so. I don't expect a happy Christmas and I'm not disappointed when it isn't happy.
 
Blame the media for trying to make everyone think their holiday will be that much better if you spend a fortune on shit no one really needs. We should think about simplifying things and not expecting one day to make our lives perfect. If you are surrounded by people who love you and have a special meal prepared what more do you really need?
 
I love Christmas. Yet My Mom just past away out of nowhere. Now I am just concentrating on my little sister, other siblings and my father. Christmas is just not the sample. Its been alittle over a month a a half. So yeah the holidays are depressing. Probably for a long time!
 
Christmas is not the same. I wrote sample, must be thinking about work, I design children shoes. Ahhhh whatever!
 
I don't really hate Christmas, but I'll admit the season tends to bring me down a little. I like the whole atmosphere of the holidays, but I'm always secretly glad when they're over.
 
Christmas was never as exciting as it used to be when I was 12... never is.
 
As you get older, Christmas is mostly about memories. That's why it is a sad time for a lot of people. When I lost my father, Christmas was never the same again. Never. My "Christmas spirit" is based on the warm memories I had when I was very young and when the family was all together. If I was straight and married with kids, I would probably try to make Christmas like it was for me when I was a kid...and better. The season is very much linked to childhood and is very much about childhood, children, Santa Claus and all that.

Was it from the song "Toyland" where the one verse in the song says:

"Childhood....once you passed its borders, you can never return again"

Toyland (Words and music by Victor Herbert)

Toyland, toyland
little girl and boy land
when you dwell within it
you are ever happy there!

Childhood toyland
mystical merry toyland
once you pass it's borders
you can never return again!
 
It is a very tough time for me. I try to avoid it as much as possile. I so wish my best friend was here. He loved Christmas and I loved buying him everything that he ever dreamed of. :cry:

Are there any witches on JUB that can bring him back or send me to him?
 
It's just another day for me. As somebody above has said, things would be different if I were married and w/kids.
 
^^

Metta, no witch can ever bring anyone back. But I keep telling you look for a very professional and gifted medium, who would likely have some interesting things to tell you.

And yes, Christmas can be depressing.

However, that's completly in our control. I honestly believe that life is what we shape it to be and christmas is no different.

We can sit around and cry over what we don't have, or we find our own ways of celebrating.

Tom, a young friend of mine, died suddenly three years ago. The tree's not up, the lights are limited to a candle in the window, year-round and I spend this time of year looking at others doing, doing doing. It's somewhat amusing. Somewhat.
 
Not usually around Christmas...but New Year's Eve usually puts me in a bad mood.

When I was a kid, I'd pick fights with my whole family...

Christmas is definitely losing its "magic" over the years. Probably partly because my extended family I tend to see during Christmas is getting more and more screwed up...not as pleasant an atmosphere as it once was. And I haven't even brought a boyfriend to any of them yet. :rolleyes:

I think this statement is very true. I never thought of it like this before. For me it makes a lot of sense.

Thank you for the advice. But I have been unable to find one that was able to give me accurate information. I have been to 4 of them so far.
 
I've been trying to think of those who are alone this time of year, imagining how they must be feeling going around the shops with no one to celebrate with. That's why i've made several offers for friends of ours who have no family to come and spend christmas with us only to find my selfish spoilt family don't want strangers at the dinner table at christmas. God I sometimes wish I was an orphan.
 
Yes, I'm depressed about this Christmas especially. I lost my grandmother this year, she was like a second mother to me? I learned alot from that women. My family gets together to exchange gifts, eat a big meal then those old folks who i see once a year ask me that fucking question? Why isn't a handsome guy like you married or have a girlfriend yet? I think this year I'm giving them the ansewer, because the the right boy has not come along yet & it's not legal in this state yet! I hate this time of the year!!!:grrr: But I can't be an ass, I do wish you, my fellow "jubbers" a wonderful Holiday?!..| :=D: (*8*) :kiss:
