    Default Christmas by myself...

    So im working in Winnipeg over the holidays. So that means x-mas day i'll be sitting in a hotel room twiddling my thumbs.

    Now part of me thinks this is going to be lonely as hell...

    The other part of me is excited about it. Im not a very Christmasy type person. I don't enjoy the holidays at all really.

    Is there something wrong with me for not wanting to celebrate? I just can't get into the holiday spirit... hell I don't even really do Halloween... or Easter or Thanksgiving... I dunno... maybe im a Grinch

    That's okay and well, refreshing? to hear. I already know the day will come and I'll be fine with it. Thanksgiving already contains some of my worst memories and they had nothing to do with Thxgiving so.......fuck it. Pretend like it's societies expectations n say screw it....

    I'm a grinch too! I love days when I don't have to be anywhere if I don't want to.

    But this year I think i'm going to visit my family oso we can be grinches together. We don't celebrate anything.

    I WILL celebrate if I'm around friends who enjoy it though. I won't be a sour puss (I've never said "sour puss" in my life - weird).

    Heh I guess its depressing? I don't know. Holidays with my family were never a happy time. My father used to kick the shit out of me on Christmas saying I ruined it and it was always an excuse for my family to fight and bicker and bleh it just sucks. So now I have no holiday spirit

    In some ways Christmas just really depresses me...

    Maybe im just down and depressed right now because of this stupid Miss Nude Canada shit.

    I'm going to be doing exactly the same thing and I'm soooo depressed about it.

    Anyhoo, maybe you could get some yummy pampering things and have a smelly, sudsy, girls day in with all your favourite food (forget any ideas of a diet) and favourite dvd's and music n books n stuff.

    Tell me about it. I've spent the holidays by myself for many years now. The last time I remember eating turkey for Thanksgiving was when I was 16. Oh well, that's all I know and I'm used to it. I'll buy myself lots of gifts from MAC and Sephora for Christmas.. cheers me up and is cheaper than therapy, lol.

    I guess count me in as a grinch, too! I'm getting presents for my immediate family members because I always have and I found some excellent stuff (and I can't ONLY send my sister something without considering my brothers or parents... that's mean). Other than that, I'm working x-mas eve and spending x-mas watching TV and eating junk food.... and I'm HAPPY about it. It's like a day off from everything. Nobody expects me to do anything and nothing is open anyways. I may end up hanging out with my bf, but we both don't really do the x-mas thing... Ever. It makes life so much easier when you can spend the upcoming weeks relaxing instead of stressing about presents and plans. I guess it helps that we're both Athiest?

    The only reason I "celebrate" Christmas is for the kids (mine and my sisters) in my life. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't bother. I'm a grinch and a scrooge. I would prefer nobody buy me gifts and since I give gifts throughout the year (when I have the money), it seems forced and fake to be giving everyone (besides the kids) more stuff just because the calendar says so. Bah Humbug!

    You're lucky you get to spend it watching movies and vegging out!

    Being an orphan I hated Christmas, only after having children did I participate. Spend it with it Scotty and start your own tradition. Be good to yourself, after all you are your own SANTA CLAUS!

    Christmas alone is better.

    I hate holidays. Particularly religious based ones. I grew up listening to the family read the gospel on christmas eve, and feeling so depressed about being athiest, and unable to express it, that I wanted to throw up at the idea of accepting gifts for something I didn't believe in.

    You create your own traditions that make you feel good, w hether or not they pertain to the date on teh calandar!

    There is nothing wrong with you. I don't really care about celebrating holidays. If there are others in my life that want to I join in. But this year I worked on Thanksgiving and will most likely work all the rest of the holidays this year. It's just another day no different than any other.

    Aww, I'm sorry about whatever crap is going on with Miss Nude Canada. That blows.

    I do have at least one really cool friend in Winnipeg, if you want his number. He runs this quirky atheist/humanist group, but I'm sure they'd be good for some drinks/ dinner. They hate Christmas! heh. But they're cool cats.

    Sorry, that's the best I can do. Winterpeg is so far away.

    My sentiments exactly! Now that Erika is out on her own, we don't even have a tree anymore!
