Christmas alone

I'm so glad to be told it's okay not to enjoy the Christmas season.

Cards are delivered with ''jolly'' Christmas and ''merry'' Christmas.

I don't appreciate that sort of greeting at the moment.

I'm glad I put this thread on now. Felt a bit stupid at first but you do feel there's only yourself feeling this way. Right now though feeling Rock Bottom. Be glad to get out the other side.

 

Ah, nowt to feel stupid about at all. I doubt anyone has read this and thought that.

 

Hope you feel ok, or the other side comes quickly for you :)

Spent the whole day alone. Had a lie in, put the washing on, watched Finding Nemo DVD to avoid the rubbish tv.

I had no presents to open & i called my mum to say hi. Currently cooking a turkey breast joint for a roast dinner.

I work in a supermarket, so all Christmas means to me is a rather unpleasant sense of selfish consumerism. I've spent the past few weeks seeing some of the worst side of the "Christmas spirit". I'm glad to finally have a rest & chill out!

Even when i have "done" Christmas i've bought only my partner a present and the day has been about as festive as today - a tiny tree, a simple roast dinner & chilling out. No excessive amount of food, drink & mayhem. It is very satisfying!

I just don't understand the pressure to deliver a "perfect" Christmas. Perfection is subjective, surely?

And what do people actually do with all that food and drink and everything else in just one day???
