Please join me in a rousing chorus of 'Xmas Sucks'...

[Andy_2007]

No, seriously, it does.

 

I tried to be mister happy face today and go along with all the festivities...But I spent most of the time in my own head, remembering last Xmas when she was still with me.

 

I know it could be worse, the poor dude who's posted here who isn't with his friends and family for instance, but it still sucks and blows in equal measure (contrary to established physics).

 

Is there any worse time of year for the dumped?

 

...oh yeah...Valentines Day.

 

Skippy.

Let's see.........New Years Eve, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Labor Day, Presidents Day, Birthday......Did I miss any

I dunno, in some ways I feel the opposite - I'm really glad for Xmas and NYE to be here.

 

I have lots of family around, my friends are eager to get together and do things, and generally everyone's feeling festive. If holidays like this happened all year round I'd probably find it much easier to cope with my break-up!

[Andy_2007]

Think you got them all, bud

 

Course, the flip side is that everyone else is miserable after the anti-climax of Xmas, and the gaping pit of debt they find themselves in...

 

Join us! Join us in our misery! Aha ha ha ha hah haha aha...

[rvision]

Yeah I think xmas has allot to do with who you spend it with.

 

Last night I had an unexpected invit from a friend to her family and friends gathering out in the country.. I went along and there were about 30 people there singing carols and drinking mulled wine, it was awesome. Then after I went out with 5 lovely happy go lucky girls.. I had so much xmas spirit..

 

Then today my mum and her bf had a huge row which runied xmas dinner and that kinda stole my spirit!

 

I just look forward to the day when I have my own family and we can have our own spirit

[musashi]

Went to a Xmas party last night. Definitely did not feel like going but figured what the hell. If I get too depressed or whatever I will just leave.

 

Ended up having a great time. Good to see alot of friends I have not seen in a while. Ended up even running back home, dressing nicer, put on some good smelling stuff, and went back with somewhat of a skip in my walk. Flirted with some gorgeous girls, got nice and tipsy, made some new friends.

 

Woke up this morning much less depressed than I expected. Still expecting her to call but am 99% sure that even if she does we do not have a future together anyhow so why bother?

 

I am just going to relax, watch some movies, and spend some good quality time with the fam today.

[need2bme]

I got to spend Christmas with my son, so that was way cool. What I didn't get to do, was spend it with her. Ya know what, I was sad, but I did not do this. She did. She did it because she was scared of her emotions, her feelings for the ex, her non-feelings for me, her worry about what I was or was going to be, without getting to know me or whatever.

[glimmerofhope]

I'm on the list of people who spent the holiday alone. My closest family is over 1000 miles away, and my friends have their own lives and loved ones to be with today.

 

I am still stunned that she hasn't even been considerate enough to send even the briefest of text messages. She knows I'm completely alone out here, that she and her family and friends were my life in this part of the world for the past three years. How can someone who was once so loving and kind become so cold, callous and frankly cruel?

[glimmerofhope]

On the plus side, I guess there's always got to be one "worst" holiday. I'd like to think that this means the rest of the holiday seasons for the rest of my life won't be any worse than this--it at least puts a silver lining on an otherwise dreadfully miserable time.

[Georgie Grrl]

I was alone, too. I don't speak to anyone I'm blood related to other than my child, though I did spend Christmas Eve with some old friends, which was nice. I can't believe the jerk didn't even e-mail me. I realize he's in a different country, but they have e-mail there!

 

Then again, I guess the most considerate thing to do is not contact me if the feelings are not returned... am 100% sure I won't be hearing from anyone today...

Georgie Grrl:

 

I agree with you Xmas does suck. I am glad it is going to be over soon. Now I have to deal with NEw Years eve but again who wants to be on the road when people are drinking. I have not heard from anyone either and when calling my sister and mom, it was not a happy conversation. Not only that I was in a car accident on Friday, so it made it worse and nor did I ever except my ex to text or call me even though I sent her a xmas card. I guess another year alone. When will it end.

Heh, that's the day my ex walked out on me. As far as I am concerned that one is going to be the real hurdle.

 

As for "Xmans sucks"......nope sorry, not doing that. Me sitting around and being bummed today only gives her more power over me. 5 months of that is more than enough I believe. I have people around me and on here who care about what I'm doing, that I'm doing well, and that I have a good christmas. I think I'll focus on that, it's a better use of my time.

i kind of agree with this. i mean i have found this time of year really difficult with all the memories and so on, but ive had a couple of cracking nights out with friends, which doesnt usually happen. i would have even enjoyed christmas day had i not seen the ex.

 

its kind of sad as well tho, cos i know my social life will die back down to nothing again now.

 

been invited to a couple of new years parties, none that appeal to me, so im going to bed and ignoring the whole thing. cannot wait for 2007 to be over. Roll on June 2008 when i can run away from this all.

I'm going to have to post that Christmas was GREAT for me. I spent the long weekend with my family and really enjoyed not having anything to do but enjoy their company. The caveat is that today sucks! I am back at work with no friends around -- they're all out of town and most of them gone through New Years. Today has been kind of low...

Such is the emotional rollercoaster of the human existence. Hang in there, pal. It'll pass, as it always does.

 

Go to the gym or out for a run after work...let the endorphins kick the snot out of the doom and gloom.
