Let's get it out of the way, so the next two days are pure positivity!

Grandmother is in hospital and is expected to die sometime between later this evening and tomorrow morning. Mother has flown over to be with her.

Uncle has got in touch with the prognosis of his cancer and it's six months to seven years.

Oh, and a foal has died.

Hasn't been a great month for the family.

I'm so sorry, that sucks :(

Ouch!

I'm really ready to just... cancel everything and stay home. I do not want to see my family, I am not close with any of them and no one cares about me except for my mother. At best there are okay moments but usually I just end up feeling horrible about myself.

It's been a crap month and crap year in general, so I just don't want to go see them for the holidays. Why do I have to go?

Anyone want to help me with coping strategies?

I am you and you are me, anon. Right down to mom being the only one who likes me.

feign illness or car trouble? Last year I actually did have car trouble and stayed home and it was the best holiday ever. No obligations, no need to put pants on, just me and the cat and whatever I decided to cook for myself. I think it was pancakes and bacon. wish I could do it again.

I actually was debating (and still kind of am) saying I was ill. I mean at one point it wasn't a complete lie because I was very sick a large portion of this month but I happen to be feeling better just in time for me to leave...

It's also not a complete lie when I suffer from really bad depression but my family kind of doesn't give a crap about that (even though I've known other family members who wouldn't come some years because of their own depression, but if I don't want to go I am suddenly a villain.)

I feel like staying home would be the best holiday ever but it could also cause me problems.

I understand completely - I'm in the same boat. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I wish I had coping strategies to share, but I don't. I avoid, because I can't cope.

So, I'm going to my sister's. And she invited her boyfriend, so it is no longer just the two of us. And I'm just going for two days. And I'll totally be the third wheel. Not overly excited.

Fuck Christmas. Just fuck this dickhammer holiday. The magic's been gone for me for years and I just want it to be over.

Same here. :/

agreed wholeheartedly. I'm glad you're around, deth, because it's good to know I'm not the only one.

I don't have any blues! EVERYTHING IS AWESOOOOOOME! EVERYTHING IS COOL WHEN YOU'RE PART OF A TEAM!

I don't actually want kids. Never have. I'd be... not the worst mother in the world or anything, but not great at it, no. But Christmas does make me wish that there were little kids in my life that I could share some of the cooler parts of the holiday with, you know?

Also, totally shallow, but I'm SO-less and it's kind of depressing right now. Also, I miss letting someone else take responsibility for my orgasms.

Do you have any little kids in your extended family? What about friends or neighbors? You could make some treats for children and deliver them, and see them enjoy them. Maybe even wrap them up! If not maybe you could volunteer somewhere that serves families?

Also, re: the second part of your comment: there were aspects of Christmas that were rough the first couple Christmases after breaking up with my long-term bf several years ago. We tend to save bags and bows and such for re-use, and one year it just hit me out of nowhere when I wasn't even thinking about it but I found the bag that had a tag that said "to [me] from the [his last name]'s". His mom had given me a scarf and hat. I miss his family. And some Christmas songs just make me sad to be single.

Christmas don't make me sad. Other holidays do. Christmas just makes me annoyed at my family's bullshit

Hee! I feel that. Although replace "family" with "Step-family" and "bullshit" with "drunken bullshit."

I miss my mom and wish she was still here. It doesn't really feel like Christmas anymore with her gone. It's too late now but I wish I could just get one more Christmas card from my grandparents but they're gone now, too. But I got out of work an hour early today so that was nice.
