Hall of Fame

We're getting cozy and festive in this MF'r tonight.

I feel like as anyone grows older things become taken for granted and washed out. That being said it does suck being old and your family being older so no one really wants to do anything. My winter holidays are usually spent alone other than a rotating Christmas Day with the child every other year. Working towards a blended family kinda thing; was supposed to this year but we both have our parents pulling us in other directions to see the grandkids etc. definitely sucks though, feel like I missing all the stuff I specifically wanted to experience with my child. Fortunately I always find something decent to do with my time; and have some good friends who hit me up and include me in some of their festivities.

I feel like this thread is the semi-modern version of a classic Christmas story.

Weird, as I read the title, I thought to myself damn I love Christmas this year for the first time in a minute. I've been there myself hating Christmas especially when I was in NYC where the streets get cutthroat, stressed out shoppers and shit. That said, the wife decorated a tree in the family room for the first time this year. Got a wreath on the front door, I'm about to put up double the Christmas lights I had on the house last year. Guess it's whatever you make of it. I used to get bummed out here because we don't have kids, but I know people with kids that aren't about the stress either. Dog died this year also so all I've got is just me and the Mrs. Just gotta be happy with what I've got. Seeing the Christmas tree lit when I came around the corner into the family room last night got me stoked enough to try to adopt a new pup this year in time to spoil for Christmas. Things get better with time, especially if you make that your mission. Even if you're not feeling it merry Christmas bro, hope you can find someone to be extra kind to this year, even if it's just yourself.

I feel like for our 12oz Christmas story to be picked up by the Hallmark Channel, we will have to all come together for the Christmas miracle of @Mauler5150embracing the Christmas spirit once again.

I loathe what Christmas has turned into and know that removing those things has allowed my to enjoy what it has become. I don’t like hustle and bustle. -if I want to enjoy holiday lights n such I go very early in the season. I don’t like obligated gift giving-we have removed this from our life entirely. having an older child has allowed these, tho. But it also means our holidays aren’t spent together because of her profession. I haven’t spent the holidays with my kid since 2017. She had been performing at Disneyland for the holidays and having a blast. This is the memory that matters! This doesn’t get either one of us down it just is what it is. (We also spent Christmas from her age 7-16 backstage at the Nutcracker while she performed) it’s never been normal. This is a holiday that rolls around every year and I realized I hear the same complaints that come with this holiday every year. Get in front of it. Figure a way to enjoy it or whatever gets you through December. Because once 12/26 hits it’s all over like it never happened. Except for the financial footprint. It’s not worth it. Capture the happy moments.

Some yard about 20 miles outside of jacksonville fl. I gave my man $20 for making the right choice.

I've grown to hate Christmas less as I age. Do I have a problem with rampant consumerism and incomprehensible volumes of single use plastic shit blowing around, sure, of course. But that shit is present on all 364 other days of the year. So I'd rather spend my energy hating everyone and everything all the time, instead of just the one day a year, and my nephews really like it, so fuck it.

The last batch was "naked woman setting a cat on fire." Prior to that was "naked women wrestling in/over/in a pool of peanut butter/almond butter/fudge" I keep changing prepositions or single words like woman/women, maybe put five women, or three. It almost never gives the number I say. All of these were "Donald trump as the sta-puft marshmallow man."

Found a pic from my trip. Wonder what dude in the cab with the bottle was thinking?

I came in here to wish everyone Happy Holidays and I see this and start to get bummed out. I felt this way once, and still do about what it's turned into, but the spirit is still there. Maybe go serve at a soup kitchen during the holidays? That's the real spirit of Christmas. Not packages with pretty bows.

I can take it or leave it. I don’t love it like I used to as a kid, but I don’t absolutely hate it. I have had one Christmas where I was alone on the other side of the world and did not celebrate. I didn’t mind not doing anything. The nostalgia is nice though and overall it does put a smile on my face thinking of the tradition and memories from a long time ago.

it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

I love the spirit of goodwill towards people during the holiday but refuse to get caught up in the materialism and consumerism of the whole shit. My wife is the same way. We don't feel obligated to buy each other a bunch of bullshit that we can't spread out over the year, just because the calendar says so. We don't play this shit with the kids in the family either. No gifts from auntie and unc.

exactly I love christmas for the joy it brings my kids. I hate it for the commercialisation but hey that's the world. I also like doing the massive food shop and dropping off the food to Foodbank SA. I donate money each month but at Christmas I donate food as well. And forget buying just soup cans I'm buying zooper dooper packs so some families can give their kids a little bonus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooper_Dooper Even if your life sucks a zooper dooper makes it better for a minute. @Mauler5150I second OMB's comment good on you for taking steps to get on an even keel. and I agree with your comment about rellie's only being around once a year.It is weird but I have so few left it doesn't bother me! happy holidays to all of you!

@Mauler5150you're currently checked in, or you checked yourself in in the past because of Xmas? If you checked yourself in recently, good for you bruh, I hope you get evened out a bit.

Happy holidays to you too.

I enjoy spending that time with family and giving them gifts that make them happy
