Holiday Season "Bleh"

[HokieDSM]

Is anyone else just feeling "Blah" this Holiday season?

A lot of people I know are just having a crappy time, and these things always seem to rear themselves up right around our special Holidays. My best friend just called a few minutes ago to say his parents were gettind divorced after being married for 32 years; another friend had three of her friends get killed in a car wreck earlier this week... and this isn't even stuff going on in my life, just friends...

So who else isn't feeling the Holiday Spirit - and what do you do to cheer up?

i've been asking people that all week, it just seems like everybody elses family is normal and has the "good old fasioned" family christmas except mine....... .....just be glad it'll be over soon and make plans for fun after christmas, like go ski'ing or somethin the week after, plans for that will keep you busy enough......

well christmas is always a vert stressful time due to money, but it never helps when friends or family come up with other problems. I guess my holiday is fine, just couldnt do as much as i wanted for everyone, really tight on money of course, but always got to look at the bright side...........still tryin to figure out what that is

I'm in that boat. My wife is celebrating Christmas with my ex-best friend, her boyfriend of 8 months now. My car has sat with no engine in it since Labor Day, so I can't go for a drive and crank some MP3 to chill out, and I'm broke as a joke. I'm getting through it with New Castles, Kamel Reds and whoring it up at 2GNT... wait. The board's been down all day for some reason. I guess I'll just chill and jam out with some music for a while. :laugh:

I am doing the same thing. I am the grinch this year. I could really care less about Christmas and such. I didn't expect anything from my mom or family. I really don't need anything. I am at the point where I am happy for what I have. I have my girlfriend, my friends, family and my dsm.

I also have friends that been killed in accidents this year. And honestly I still havn't felt the same since then. Maybe that is why I am like this now.

 

[BISHILVR]

....you just described what i was trying to say....perfect!!!

 

[Laser93Nash]

Christmas and NewYears is gonna suck for me! I gotta work! 7:30 AM tomarrow morning(x-mas morning) and again 4:00 PM that afternoon! And I worked tonight and just got off about 10 minutes ago. . IMO having a job sucks for me this year. . Oh well. A DSM won't mod itself. .

I dont celebrate christmas.

 

[sting0004]

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! Smiling's my favorite! Anyway, my christmas is going pretty well, going to church in 10 minutes. If your broke, take a walk outside or go for a jog. Sometimes I need to just get away from everything. Not to sound g@y but giving always feels better than receiving, so make someone who's less fortunate than you have a nice x-mas. -Matt

Wow im glad im not the only one who thinks Christmas is "BLEH"... Yeah my parents were divorced lik 7 years ago and ever since then it just seems stupid... Im about to turn 21 and the last 7 Christmas's ive had i havent recieved anything that i wanted or needed or gave me that feeling when i was little, like when i recieved my first Nintendo system or something to that manner...... Its just been a day where I recieve stuff that still to this very day are sitting in my closet unused... ive also lost 3 friends due to car accidents, and my grandmother just died on thanksgiving... Not to be a scrooge but Tommorrow to me will seem just like another day... If i could have one thing this holiday i would want to have the Christmas feeling back when i was little, but thats long gone.... Anyways to those who are spending the holidays with their families Merry christmas to all of you and i hope you have a way better holiday then me.

I feel the same as many of you... this chirstmas just seems to suck a$$... it'd be different if my DSM was running and i had a nice g/f to spend the day with but neither one of those will happen before tommorrow... so i'm gonna wait to new years eve and get drunk and forget all about this holiday

AMEN TO THAT

What Turbo Monkey just said.. pretty much sums up my Christmas.. It used to be my favorite time of the year and now its the worst.. my parents just got divorced 2 years ago.. and well ever since then it just sucks.... And my grandfather just passed away over the summer. Ive never had a christmas without him my whole entire life till this year... so it sucks.. My car broke a 3/4 shift fork so i have no form of transportation... And to top it all off I get to spend tonite and Christmas morning alone because my dad(who i live with) took off to my sisters Philly.(long story why i cant go).. So this year i get to wake up to No christmas gifts.. Nothing but 2 morbidly obese cats.... Oh well. I look at it like this.. some day ill be married and have kids and be able to have all the good Christmas memories back....But for now ill take it as it comes i guess.. With all that said.. Merry Christmas to all DSMer's. Be safe and have a good Holidays.. Thanks for givin me somethin to do this Christmas eve.

 

[TSiGoesPsSsSst]

Yes it seems as if this year is just...blah.Not great at all.I thought it was because im getting older.

 

[9d2TSi]

You're not alone Orso, I'm not opening any presents tomorrow either. It's cool though. I'll get to watch my wife open hers. Way to stay positive. I won't let it get me down, Christmas isn't about gifts anyways.

Sorry you're feeling this way Cliff, cheer up buddy. You got a sweet Audi.

 

[Talon96tsiAWD]

I dont feel up to the christmas spirit either.... The older you get, the shittier christmas gets. I think I'm gonna wake up early and just go WOT for as far as i can go, then maybe I'll feel like eating some food

 

[Tsar]

Yea this year Xmas sucks... i dunno every year it seems worse. maybe im getin older or something (im still 18 btw). Im not even excited to open the presents anymore :thumbdown
Hopefully ill get trashed during the new years and it all be fine!

 

[Evo8driver]

yeap. im a bleh too. it doesnt seem like anything special this year. the money i had saved for a new vid cam for racing i had to use for presents for ppl because they got me something so i cant just not get them anything. im goin on some cruise with my family and honestly i dont want to. it just dosent appeal to me to sit on a boat in a pool for 3 days. id rather stay here and hang out. and the girl that was hopefully was gonan be my gf isnt anymore because my other friend dont want us together and thinks that we will like ditch him or soemthing if we where .. so yea.. .its ###. and my job sucks cause i hate winter and i hate being outside when its cold ####in pushn damn carts every once and a while. whtaever... im sorry to hear about the ones with loses and family problems. Merry Christmas to everyone ....

Yea, I'm feeling the same way. Except my dsm runs but has no turbo, and the list of problems just keeps getting longer and longer. I don't know why, but it just seems like xmas is just a waste of money, it's really just another day to me. It seems like ever since my grandpa died when I was in 6th grade(1999) things between the family just haven't been the same. Noone seems to get along together anymore. A few of my good friendships have fallen apart, and I just feel like I haven't really accomplished anything this past year.

 

[WulfShadow]

i just got home from work after closing with a coworker who bought and smoked some crack in the parking lot, kicked over a huge sink, disconnecting it from the wall, and kicking a full mop bucket until there was water everywhere, while the manager was sitting around drinking rum...guess they arent feeling the xmas spirit either

 

[cwbroncos]

Christmas definetly doesn't feel the same this year. I think its because I've been working so much. I didn't even realize christmas was tomorrow until yesterday. I worked all day today and I'll work from 7:30 to 4 on christmas :thumbdown Just a normal day at a hospital I guess I can be thankful that I get to leave at 4 but for some they'll spend their whole christmas there.
