#christmas vent

I remember when i was a kid, I loved Christmas with all my heart. I loved Santa, I loved the joy, I loved everything about it.

Now, it just feels like Christmas is.. gone.

I should be celebrating and excited to give gifts, but I just feel... the same.

I miss when Christmas meant something to me, before being told to grow up. I miss when I could ask for anything my little heart desired and it would be there, right under the Christmas tree. I miss bring carefree. I miss being excited for presents. I miss when I wasn't expected to ask for more 'adult' things, rather than toys and comfort items.

I miss being happy during Christmas, rather then it feel like a chore.

And now it feels like it's too late to even start getting into the holiday spirit, even if I could.

I already miss Christmas, and it hasn't even came yet.

This comic actually 100% explains my problem with Christmas, I think! Wow! I...I've been hoping for answers and explanations on this for years. Thank you, Charles Schulz! It's the emotional letdown that comes from so much excitement. Getting gifts and having to see company and everything...it all ends in burnout where you feel miserable about the gifts and it leads to meltdowns and tantrums. I hate this feeling, although I'm marginally better at handling it. Now I don't usually have meltdowns. Now I just get depressed.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is 60 this year, but it's still the best shirt Christmas special ever. If only because Charlie Brown understands me at my core.

happy almost crisis (twelve days of Christmas except it's five days of my Christmas break and my life is currently a hellhole)

A goddamn reeeelapseee (and a high chance my grandma could die sadly.)

On the second day of Christmas (break) this hellhole gave to me

Everybody fighting (over a ripped couch)

And that goddamn reeeeelapseee

(Dw guys I had a single crash out last night and I'm as fine as it's possible to be with this stuff going on now)

... or maybe desperately clinging to your past. Something like that.

I wish that I had been able to spend Christmas with her. Maybe if I wasn't such a fuck up, I could have. Brought her roses and a new bottle of that perfume she liked so much. Came to meet her parents or something. Watched stupid Hallmark romcoms and drank hot cocoa with her. Its in times like this that I really regret all of this... That I wish I could have been a fraction of the man she deserved.

Here it is !! The shitty family bingo for my shitty family ! (if it’s too hard to read I put the list of entries under the cut). Just thinking about any of the points on here makes my blood boil :DDDD

Racist jokes about the chinese My mom being lesbophobic My mom unloading her issues on me «lol americans are so fat» My dad and brother mocking my mom’s anxiety/paranoia Homophobic joke «aren’t we such a perfect happy family ??» Classism My dad being a capitalist bootlicker «lol americans are so stupid and uneducated» Transphobic joke My mom being fatphobic Mom being weird about my friends My mom being nasty about someone (bonus point if I know them and it makes things awkward) My mom shitting on my dad’s interests «it’s not politically correct but I’m not afraid to say it:)»

vent because i made myself sad from being an attention whore who gets angry and jealous at everything and everyone. i choose to draw bear because he was on a shirt i had on all day, smiling, and i just wanted him to relate.

One of the only aspects of Christmas I never loved: surprises. I hate surprises, and it's mostly because they always end up stressful or underwhelming. You have a present wrapped up. If you open it and it's not something you want, you get upset. If you open it and it is what you want, then somehow you're still disappointed (because you either feel let down, or because you found something minor to complain about with regards to the item). I do this stuff constantly, and i'm pretty sure it's why i like opening my Christmas gifts early. I know everyone besides my dad would probably judge me for my disappointment and negative reactions, but my dad always forgives me. And that's why I'm glad for him. And also why i'm nervous for when my grandfather shows up monday afternoon/monday night.
