For years I have spent all anniversaries alone and uncelebrated. No birthdays, no Christmas or Thanksgiving. It's been so long now that I don't even have traditions. I have no tree or decorations. When I think back on previous ones it feels like remembering a dead friend.

nothing nicer than spending a holiday alone. It's actually quiet out, not much traffic, unlikely to be bothered by daily responsibilities. Just kicking back for a day of free rest.

I just volunteer to work every holiday, it's usually slow as hell and I get paid extra. It's my gift to myself.

Make a new tradition for yourself, even if it's just watching a movie you like or cooking a new dish. No need to tie yourself to the idea you have to behave a certain way on a holiday.

Sorry to hear that op. The idea is very sad to me. Some people are content with it though so to each his own.

No. 6 posted:For years I have spent all anniversaries alone and uncelebrated. No birthdays, no Christmas or Thanksgiving. yeah I worked retail/customer service on holidays for so many years and heard so much piped in Christmas music that I simply just don't enjoy them anymore. Even now that I don't, I get no true joy from them and essentially fake it for friends and family who haven't burnt out on it. I mean, it IS nice to see people and hang out and have a good meal and things, and I can be thankful social, and happy for that, but deepdown I feel like "I'm not really on the same level here". Sucks.

I love Christmas because I love decorating and giving gifts and watching movies with my parents. If I had a house I would be the Clark Griswold of the neighborhood. But if that doesn't work for you do something you want! Make it your day! If you want it to be just another day, then make it so.

i dunno if i'd actually deny them it but i've felt like christmas was bad for children psychologically for a long time. expecting to gorge on expensive gifts at this specific point in the year, attaching all the consumerism surrounding christmas to precious childhood memories. birthdays don't bother me as much since it's more of an individual thing than just this frenzy. don't really like anything about christmas at all, i just ignore it except for family obligations which i'd rather not propagate. it's bad. just get people presents sometimes instead.

It’s fun to decorate, put some decorations up around the house. It’ll feel good. Put on some Christmas-y music like Handel’s Messiah. Try to do something nice and surprising for someone that you wouldn’t normally do. You don’t even need friends for this, you can buy a big sandwich and a soda for a homeless guy. Read A Christmas Carol, it’s really good and might surprise you with how affecting it is, there is a lot of stuff in there you may relate to. Drink some egg nog and turn the heat way up. You can get in the Christmas spirit buddy, I believe in you

This Christmas I'm going to eat weed chocolates and chicken soup while lying in bed covered in cats (3 cats). I'm going to watch that Michael Shannon film about a gigantic storm while doing this, and then listen to music.

I've been doing them alone for awhile too. I do usually cook something I like, than maybe binge horror movies and get drunk. Honestly it's sometimes weird to see how much people get in the spirit for certain holidays. And even if they don't mean much I still wish we had more holidays as Americans (irt work).

Honestly there might be a goon discord or video chat or whatever going on for the holidays as I imagine other goons are in the same boat. I would have no idea where to finda that information for it but ya should give it a go. Worst case scenario is you bail.

I have a house but i haven't decorated it for holidays since I've lived here. I just don't feel like putting forth the effort i guess. I have decorated a little inside in the past but this year i didn't even do that, my house is a wreck so I'd need to clean before i can even think about decorating. My family is 2000 miles away and my aunt died this year. All in all it's gonna be a crappy Christmas but i don't really care. Probably will eat some gummies and chill, maybe watch MST3K Christmas movies (Santa Claus is superior to Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) and cuddle with my animals. And I'll do a video call with the fam and see my neice. At least i get a 3 day weekend too. It ain't so bad op

I've never been a huge fan of Christmas, at least, not since I was very young. To me it's just more stress heaped onto an already stressful existence with the added bonus of "You ruined Christmas!" if I let my happy face façade slip.

Happy Birthday, honey. Did you want to go out for dinner, deal with loud unruly kids in public, have absolutely no fun, spend $200 of your money, and be exhausted by the end of the evening? No bitch. I don't.
