Hard Christmas time
This will be my first ever Christmas with out my Grandma and its really hard and I know there are a lot of members who have lost someone this past year. So I thought I should make a thread where we could support and or vent our feelings about Christmas when everyone is all
 for the holiday and its hard to show your sad or depressed when ppl are psyched for it.

I spent my 21st birthday in a shop building christmas trees. The novelty has worn off a little this year
Also, I don't eat Christmas dinner (I am an extremely fussy eater). I usually just have a cheese and marmite sandwich whilst everyone else eats themselves sick on turkey and stuff. But yeah, I remember my first christmas after I lost my dad was pretty hard. That was the year I learnt that Father Christmas does not exist. I ended up helping my mother with my sisters presents.. I think Christmas is as much a chance to forget the year past as it is to be with your family. You should concentrate on enjoying yourself with the family you do have. Visit some friends too. That's what we did.

I've never done Christmas and while I love the elements within it, I don't like the holiday by itself.

I love Christmas. I love the decor, the warm feeling, the season. What I hate is what the media has done to it.

I used to love Christmas but ill admit I'm kind of meh about it now.
We still do it because its also on the same day as my autistic little brothers birthday and we'll all be damned if he doesn't get double presents! XD (And all the Christmas trimmings. He loves it and he deserves it.) Me? I just get stuff for myself anyway these days. Seems like a pointless exchange and we would be better off trying to save some money really.

I like singing for the Christmas church service because the music's better. But I always have a hard time figuring out what to get for people. Because really, they have all the things they need and anything I get them ends up being a dust collector. My brother is easy. I just get him something I want and he'll probably like it. Everyone else? They don't like things I like and so I end up getting things that I think merge with their interests that I think are kinda cool.
Then everyone gives me clothes in return. It's almost like they're trying to send a message. Like they're trying to say that now that I'm a working adult I should have a more professional wardrobe than thirty T-shirts and three pairs of jeans. I dunno.

Until a few years ago, I spent I believe every Christmas day at my grand-grandmother's, where she would serve dinner. I think it ended when she passed away.

I don't have any idea how my Christmas is going to go. Without my mom around, my dad's decided that we're doing no decorating and that he doesn't want to do any gift giving this year, so I'm likely to only get something from my grandma, while my family won't be giving my grandparents anything in return this year, unless I can talk my dad into it. There's a chance we'll be having dinner at my grandparents' house as usual this year, but I really won't know anything until it comes closer.
Of course, before we get to that, there's the hurdle of Thanksgiving. We've been invited to dinner with my sister's boyfriend's family, which includes his sister, who I didn't exactly get along with in high school, so this ought to be interesting.

even then, you shouldn't let how others celebrate a holiday effect how you celebrate it.

Answer me this: What do YOU think Christmas is truly about? Presents or Christ?

Christmas for me is spending time with family who I don't get to see nearly enough during the darkest and dreariest time of year and having a good time with food and entertainment. It's also about taking care of those who are in need as much as possible. Giving time and money to those in need is important to me. Getting gifts is fun, but I have more joy giving gifts to others.
idk. If it's all about getting free stuff for somebody, it's not that big of a deal to me because it has little bearing on what I'm going to do. I personally don't think Christ is essential in celebrating this, but if folks make him the main figure of their celebration, that's fine as well.

 Also, you're being kinda redundant with presents and cash because often they end up being one and the same.

I think Christmas is about disappointment.
