Anybody else not looking forward to Christmas?

Well, I fookin' love it. It's the first few days of January that are a bit crap.

First christmas in my life where I'll wake up alone. (*though it's MUCH better then waking up in a LIE!)

This will be my second in 4 years, we alternate every other, and I couldn't agree with you more ... waking up 'right' is such a good feeling!

Good on ya!

definitely not in the holiday spirit this year. i even went so far as to take a trip to vegas this week to try to temporarily escape all the madness that has recently unfolded. sadly, it didn't really work.

I'm glad to hear you say this:)
I do fear the alone part... but knowing it was a lie before makes it THAT much easier:)

There's a lot of adjustment of course but I found some beautiful peace in those thoughts my first morning alone, and I know I will this year too

This year I wish it would just come and go... or that I'd a few more months to prepare... really not looking forward to it AT ALL!

What's different about this year Helen?

I love spending time with my family... and we always have a great christmas... I'm just spending this year away from them

I usually go all out for christmas.. this year I've been hoping we're NOT putting up decorations.. haven't even shopped for my secret santa yet and it was supposed to be sent today. Haven't even thought about what I'm getting anyone else and would rather not. Just wanna get on with normal stuff and forget about anything else.

Aww I'm sorry. I would've thought they would have cheap flights home. Well, just think how much fun you will have next year when HE goes to Ireland to spend Christmas with the Heinekens.

i alway's look forward to christmas. the birth of jesus, a celebration of life. a change, i see it, where all else fails.

this holiday season is the time of sharing, giving, helping other's out in need. (well, that should be done by all, everday of the year), it's just, this time of year, we forget the less fortunate. while everybody is spending money, money, money on presents, and neighbours fighting for who's gonna win the best lighted house on the street etc .. it shouldn't be a time of fighting & hate, or jealousy.

it should be love & happiness & caring. it's like scrooged (will rip that clip again on my facebook account this weekend). when bill get's out of that elevator and just flips out with joy. that's what we should be doing all around, to each other.

it's 2 am in the morning. d'oh! just saying, don't be sad or be let down this holiday season. we got each other. alone? message here, either msn, via video or even call your friend, family out of town, reach out and just .. live life. take a walk, see anybody on the street, take him/her inside a fastfood joint and buy them something, talk to them. something.

i made a huge mistake day's ago, many of you must of read the thread that sunday on the porch. it was wrong, and my temper was uncalled for. i'm sorry. i haven't been myself lately. i .. just .. had my heart on somebody, who i cared for alot. but i didn't know how to control that feeling. and, it just fell apart.

the only gift i would want for christmas, is not stuff or things or anything. it's just, would want to go back in time, and fix all that. get that friendship back to normal. and keep that friendship forever. but, that would never happen. as another year comes closing, again .. i keep fucking up.

night ...

I won't wake up alone but to be honest I'd kinda prefer I did... I'm gonna spend christmas with the boyfriends family... but I'd rather actually just get drunk alone and watch chick flicks all day. This way I'm gonna have to pretend to be happy to be spending it with someone elses family... otherwise I'll drag everyone else down... and I'm not sure I'm capable of pretending to give a fuck to be honest

yo should go along and have a good time... stop being selfish... its one day... go and fucking enjoy it...


either that or go back to your family and have a xmas you want.

look forward to it...for me, it's the most awaited time of the year...the thought that God sent His only Son to the world because of love is something that we should celebrate and be grateful for (i'm Catholic, pardon me if i sound religious...)
although, the celebration part has become commercialized but being with my family and spending time with them for Christmas is enough celebration for me...

now, spending time with the family of your boyfriend is another thing but i guess a whole new experience...try to look forward to it, for all you know, you might even have a blast with them...try to condition your mind to think positively about the event...good luck HH
