I Hate Christmas

[RobertJW]

Anyone else dread the upcoming holiday?

Whilst I am depressed and alone on Dec 25th, my ex wife and the kids will be having a great day opening pressies and eating and drinking, as if I don't exist.

Worst time of the year by far for me. Anyone agree?

I agree with you, I dont really like Christmas. It really sucks.

It never turns out the way you want it to. It usually goes horribly wrong for me and I think its the time of the year where I feel most lonely.

I never really get anything good for Christmas, good in the sense that someone actually bought something for me because they cared, not because they felt they had to because its Christmas.

So yeah, I hate Christmas and any holiday that is meant to be special cause it really doesnt f***ing turn out that way. F**k holidays.

I hate Christmas too, its all just commercialised bollocks now. You're not the only one that spends christmas alone, last year i was on my own, and it'll most likely be the same this year. Last year i spent the entire day in bed with the duvet over me and cried my eyes out for the majority of the day.

Oh yes. I think you will find that Christmas gets to a lot of people. Even under conditions much better then today i would have been willing to skip it.

 

[Bluey]

Humbug to christmas. I do have somewhere to go for the 25th but it brigs other problems this holiday as well.

Pretty much the same as me.

Surely there must be something better for people like us????

This continual pain is just not fair

Christmas is pretty hard for me. Most of my close friends live scattered acorss the country, and my family is gone. I do tend to get sad this time of year.

What I do to compensate for it is go out and buy gifts for people I know at work. People that I hear are having problems, or maybe seem sad. I never get any gifts myself...it has been about 10 years since I got a 'xmas gift', but I find that I really look forward to it when people get something by me. I made a couple of them cry! I still get very sad on christmas day...I hear about all the good times people have with their family...but there is nothing I can do about it.

They say that if you keep giving, it will eventually coime back to you. MOstly those I give stuff to I never hear back from, but thats ok. If this is true, then one day I will be rewarded! I am going to put that to the test!

I hate this day too.
This 25th will be my second Christmas to spend all alone.I have no family, i have few friends but they will be with their families.However i consider this day like an ordinary day, it helps me to pass it through easier.

HUGS

Activities with family
Gifts and present

Christmas is okay for me.

I don't really hate it, it's normally just a boring day for me. I live with my family but they're not into the whole celebration stuff. I've realised, however, that no one's going to make it any more interesting for me if I don't do something myself. So this time I invited my mother and sister to a restaurant (hope they don't change their minds last minute, it's rather hard for them to get off their ass and get somewhere ). Perhaps I'll go to a movie afterwards. Myself as my mother hates movies, they're too loud for her.

It's actually surprising how many people don't celebrate Christmas because they have no one to do it with. I came upon a question on yahoo, something like "who else is going to have a lonely Christmas?". The responses were quite plentiful.

Grundel70, I like people like you. If you lived here, I'd buy you a gift.

i share the same fate as u no family, a few friends have invited me round but i dont like this form or charity/pity just because im alone. hopefully i'll find sumwhere quite and sleep/drink until this whole "family" event is over and i can blend into normal society again

I am sorry for all that are lonely for Christmas and in alot of ways i can relate. I have something to do but it is not the fairy tale thing that it almost sounds like others seem to have for Christmas.
I have one family member that I am in touch with and that is my mom. I have relatives in England but I am not very close with them as I live over in the US.
If my mom was to die and I did not have a bf I could easily be in the shoes of others on here.
My heart goes out to everyone on here who is alone but I believe that there is always hope for a brighter tommorrow for us all.
And Grudel70, what a terrific thing you have done for others!!!! I believe that you will surely be rewarded in due time!!!! IF you would ever like to chat please feel free to send me a PM. I would love to get to know such a good hearted person.

I totally agree, I have the same situation basically. I fight between anger and loneliness during this time of year.

Wow, that's actually an awesome thing to do on Christmas. Giving to others while you receive nothing in return. I firmly believe in karma and think that you will get good things in return for what you do.

I have family that I will be spending time with on Christmas, but I still hate the holiday. I'm not sure why, but every year I get depressed around this time. I think it's because of the family that I will never spend time with at Christmas again.
