Who here has absolutely no plans, no friends to hang out with, no get-togethers, absolutely nothing on xmas day? I guess my “plan” is just to mope around all day, stuff my face, watch youtube, and surf morbid suicide sites… Yup, an envious happenin’ life, eh?

Things to do if you’re alone:
1. Dress as Santa Claus, because it’s the only way you can get away with offering kids candy or asking attractive women to sit on your lap without getting arrested.
2. Dress as George Bailey and go running frantically down the street yelling Mary! Clarence! I wanna live again!
3. Blast your music so loud that somebody calls the cops on you and when they get there invite them in for dinner (make sure you have donuts).
4. Convince yourself that Christmas is against your religion so you can feel smug and proud that you didn’t do anything to celebrate it.
lol you must be a guy based on #1
Btw, did you hear of the real life bad santa? So this mall Santa had a fat kid sit on his lap. Afterwards, he told the kid to “lay off” on the food, to which his mother got all outraged and went on national tv. It’s certainly not nice of a person who’s dressed as Santa to say, but anyway, point being, you might get more than what you thought were gonna be hot chicks on your lap…
And…what if a kid pees on your lap?? lol I’m guessing that’s more than common for Santas…
Actually, I’m a chick. I just know that most men would want attractive women to sit on their lap.
I have a friend who occasionally plays Santa Claus. I think he was doing the pictures with pets one time and a dog peed on him.
_darkness, watch Bad Santa or The Ref…great dark comedy movies involving Christmas and FUNNY!!!
Yea join the club. Alone on Christmas too
While I won’t be alone on xmas, there are certain family members I won’t be spending it with. It’d be nice if we lived in a perfect world where everyone got along well with each other, but the reality is that many people are evil, stupid, arrogant, obnoxious and refuse to compromise, get along or learn to apologize for their mistakes-which leads to the breakup of relationships, some that are decades long.
I cut off a few family members and I don’t regret it for an instant. These are rotten people who don’t deserve my friendship or to be in my life. I respect a person who is alone for xmas because they refuse to be anyone’s doormat, who stick to their principles, who know their own worth and won’t allow anyone to treat them any less.
The people I truly feel sorry for are the ones who allow themselves to be mistreated, abused, insulted, degraded and still hold on to those toxic relationships/people because they fear being alone. Why would anyone spend Christmas with people you hate or that hate you or see you beneath them?
Xmas is really just another day-I know most of us grew up believing it was a special time but that was before we knew how fake and shitty people really are. This is why it’s just better to have your own family/kids and spend xmas with them and anyone who truly deserves to be in your life.
Here’s another post that could’ve been written by me. I too have family I refuse to spend the holidays with for the EXACT reasons you’ve mentioned. My father’s been dead almost a decade and once he died holidays at the house I grew up in were no longer the same for many different reasons so I stopped going there…my mom and brothers could be very toxic and depressing to be around.
I just spent this last Thanksgiving with my mother which I hadn’t done in 9 years…I have always spent my holidays since my dad died at either my sisters’ or friends’ houses but I miss having my family together at the holidays. That always mattered to my dad and I am sad that tradition, having us all together, seemed to have died with him. My whole family hasn’t been the same since he’s been gone, but I guess that happens….I so miss him this time of year and his death anniversary is less than a month away so that makes it even harder.
Christmas has never been my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons…for me there’s always been so much sadness and depressive feelings, but I try not to let it get to me too much by preoccupying myself with good things. For instance last night I made Christmas cookies with my nieces and it was hysterical…one of my nieces is kind of dark and she was making anything but “Christmas” oriented themed cookies: an alien,Cookie Monster, Sponge bob and Patrick for a bit and when she did do an actual Christmas one it was hideous…we laughed so much… the pan once we were done looked like something out of a Pinterest fails site, but we had fun and it lightened the mood quite a bit….my coping mechanism for sure at this time of year….it’s kind of become a tradition these last 4 years or so. I would’ve made a great mom…damn god for taking that chance away from me.
Sorry to hear about your father passing away. Indeed some members are the glue that hold families together-but I guess it also shows there wasn’t too much of a bond between the others anyways. It’s nice you’re able to see your niece and have a great time with her.
Likewise I’ve often been told I’d make a great father and I’ve considered having kids but I’d prefer to be more settled in life first and I’m picky when it comes to finding a good partner. It’s still in the cards for me but it’s not a priority at the moment. But I’m starting to realize it’ll be a good idea once I’m more established.
In your case you could still consider adoption-I know it’s not the same as having your own child, however it’s another option since you can’t do it biologically-if you really want one.
I’m sure we’d all like to have great family get togethers-it’s unfortunate that there’s so much politics and drama that goes on which leads to the break up of relationships. But it is what it is. Just like there are bad people in the world, we wish they could be good but we have to deal in reality. Same goes for personal relationships.
For me-once I get further in my career, I intend to create new stronger relationships and I’ll be in a more desirable and respectable position, compared to now. I intend to make those people my new ‘family’ in a sense. There’s a lot of dead wood I want to get rid of in my relationships right now. That’s one thing I have to look forward to over the next couple of years.
@Jaded, I replied but it’s stuck in moderation.
Homeless for Christmas due to a lack of communication from family — the idiots who assured that they’d look after me. Haha. Get to spend it by a cove overlooking a favourite beach of mine, whilst using what little resources I have remaining to keep myself fed.
Might send a shotshell through my skull on new year’s though, so that ought to make up for it all
Hey Shephard I lost your email get back to me if you can
Same here zero plans zero friends. Worst of it all I get to watch X friend enjoy and have a great time siblings also have their. Me I just watch anime and try to enjoy being alone
No plans. Thankfully the spousal unit is visiting family. That gives me time to relish the silence: No TV! I don’t know what to do first: read? edit my work? meditate? stare longingly into someone’s house until the police come. . . ?
Happens more than you’d think. No plans either, unless netflix, a bottle of vodka, a bottle of diet coke, a glass and an icebag counts as a plan, lol.
