It’s getting kind of depressing for me, on account of my lonely life of just parents and my sister, but that’s not the holiday’s fault, it’s my illness’ fault for inhibiting me from living life.
I will recover though. It’s happening gradually.
There was a couple of years when i had serious FOMO (fear of missing out) , but now i couldnt give a toss. So long as i know my now 16 yr old Daughter is having a good one - i couldnt care less.
Its all an excuse for alcoholics to drink to much, and fattys to eat too much food.
Im content with my christmases now. It just slighty upsets me when i dont get a card from my daughter, but the ex has alot todo with that, and my baby got autism - so she is always forgiven.
Just another day to me.

Christmas will be sad for me this year without both of my grandmothers, and probably my uncle. I’ll still celebrate it but in more of a ‘treasuring family I still have’ kind of way.

This is the first Xmas since meeting my wife that we don’t have to go to her parents on Xmas Day and wreck it. I’m sooo happy about that. Just wish we could have had one of those when the kid was young.

I’m a Christian, and I REALLY look forward to Christmas. It’s my favorite time of year. I love buying presents and wrapping them up all pretty; the joy of Christmas morning and watching everyone get excited over their gifts while I take photos; baking cookies with the kids and sharing them with the local police officers; the cold weather and hot cocoa… all of it! Can’t wait!!! I already have a closet FULL of boxes of presents. Now I need to get some wrapping paper and bows!

Yeah it will be strange to celebrate Christmas without my Mom.
It’s going to be empty for me.

I am not big on Christmas. I like Thanksgiving better.
I haven’t put up a tree since my son moved out.

I’m not a huge Christmas fan. Only eldest child really likes Christmas. However it’s nice that the kids have time off school. And there are a few Christmas movies I like. Especially “It’s a Wonderful Life”

I like Christmas season and the holidays with Thanksgiving. People just seem to try to be nicer and lots of people are in the “Christmas spirit”. there’s something in the air that a lot of people are in a good mood and there’s Christmas carol’s playing in stores and people donating money and trying to help other people. Of course that’s a generalization, for many people, Christmas is not a happy time. It’s a good time of year for many but the world doesn’t stop, and world problems go on; like wars, poverty, starvation etc. I generally like Christmas but it’s not like when I was a kid and I looked forward to it the year round.

I wouldn’t mind Xmas if it was just one day, but I don’t like that there is a “season” of it. I just get so sick of the music and stuff, the commercialism and all that. Humbug.

I still enjoy Christmas. I watch “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens several times during the Christmas season. People who work where I live put themselves out to make Christmas good for us. We have a party with presents, and all that.

The holiday that is bad for me is New Year’s Eve, because of the alcohol associated with it.

My partner and i decided not to celebrate Christmas. Neither of us are Christians, so it doesn’t make much sense. We took a leaf out of Seinfeld’s book and celebrate Festivus. A festivus for the rest of us.

I do not like Christmas any more so much, it will be many days to experience loneliness and it may trigger depression too. I like Christmas food, especially chocolates and other candies. I think I am getting older 
Ya, it’s the second time each year I get MONEY LOL.
