It makes me think of happier times. When my parents at least pretended to like me, when I could get nice things occasionally and getting to share with me friends about the cool stuff we got even tho we were all too poor to really get anything very expensive.

exactly user. I share the same memories. Life is hard now. I don't know what to live for. I think of killing myself everyday.

Same. Only reason I haven't is because I'm too much of a pussy. Going to try to join the coast guard in spring and if I can't get in I'm going to leave everything behind and start walking until I either die or find somewhere I can live happily.

I was never disappointed with my Christmas haul as a kid but that's not why I like Christmas.

In general, I like that people at least PRETEND to have a reason to be nicer. Also, pretty lights and happy music everywhere (believe it or not I actually like it). I think it's a beautiful time of year.

It's great except for the traffic and excessive capitalism.

>pretty lights
They're really underrated. Xmas gives people an excuse to care about their community.

i hate it. that is all.

I've realized that it's nothing more than a scheme to sell shit but regardless I hang onto it as something to love because it's one of the last happy things from my childhood I can come back to consistently.

It's not really Christmas, it's just Giftmas.
Pretty funny that people sing songs and perform traditions from pre-christian pagan worship but think they're somehow honoring jesus's birth by going on a frivolous spending spree.

I find hilarious how every other person I see buying trees, presents, decorations all look like they're not enjoying it at all and more of a I guess we have to do this since everyone is doing it look.
Also CHRISTMAS is best when it snows

Literally an excuse for rich white men to feel great about themselves while women and poc are supposed to feel like shit, because we don't make as much. The spirit of Christmas, everyone.

Used to like it. Ever since my mom and my mother in law both passed away, it's just another shitty day I dread. Life's pretty shitty, and a day you're supposed to give gifts to people when you can hardly afford your bills doesn't really help anythng.

christmas is my excuse to be day drunnk

Alcoholism is my excuse for getting day drunk.

For the last 4 years I have told my family when they ask me what I want "A picture of you". My dad is the only one who has delivered on it. He's not the craftiest person but he made a frame and hot glued some trinkets and memories to it. I treasure it.

A stupid holiday with shitty music

Christmas is a great, meaningful day if you're willing to put the time and effort in. Go in with an optimistic viewpoint, trying to be nice to everyone you see, you'll enjoy it.

>but hey user, why not just have that mindset everyday then?
No one can keep this insane optimism up every fucking day, but one day a year, everyone can. That's what makes it a mostly awesome day.

Same. Christmas makes for good memories as a child. It never was about religion.

It’s a time where people can be so fake that it actually feels good. Hollowed is fun too. Just can’t a new set of headphones in my candy bag.

How are you 'supposed to feel like shit'? Just because retail tries to commercialize Christmas doesn't mean you have to buy in, or feel bad about being unsuccessful.

Xmas is like Sup Forums

You remember fondly how it used to be and try to capture that magic over and over again. E eventually you realize it's just gone.
