I can't afford it and I don't have time or patience for the commercialized part of it. Any one else have this problem?

I couldn't afford it this yr eighter. So I went to the dollar general picked up coloring books, plato,puzzles,and a few other cheap items for my nieces and then baked cookies for everyone else in the family.

It drives me crazy on my in-laws side that *everyone* had to buy gifts for all the kids. We drew names for the adults. Why not do the same for the kids?

I used to be too suicidal before but now I LOVE It.

I love plastic and tinsel and lights and angels and shit like that.

I love giving presents and getting slightly drunk.
I might have a relapse to celebrate.

I don't celebrate Christmas. No really no tree no gift giving nada. I was looking for Christmas traditions to do earlier but decided to say bugger it.

One year I opted out and watched Godfather movies instead. Had a fine old time, if a bit misanthropic.

Christmas is like easter a waste of money, not being scrooge here but it has just got way outta hand.

I spose it doesn't help that as a child christmas was always horrible with parents fighting and being violent.

I won't deny Seb christmas, but I just think it is overrated and superficial :((

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
