I hate Christmas. I am not a holiday person, and I know that a lot of people don’t understand why. I love gift giving, but I hate the holidays.
Growing up, I can’t really remember having a happy Christmas. I always found the holidays to be very sad.
We put so much pressure into Christmas. We get all worked up about getting the perfect gifts for everyone, and we do all of these obligatory “tourist” things. For example, going to the Christmas market. Bloggers do things like Vlogmas, I wrote a post about gift giving. Let’s be honest though, Christmas is annoying. We put so much pressure into one day, and it’s supposed to feel rewarding. If it is, then why do I always just feel sad at the end?
Whether we’re dressing to look hot for Christmas or we’re rocking an ugly Christmas sweater, there’s only one thing that really reminds me of Christmas. I take stock of the things, and the people I don’t have in my life. So, yes, it sounds really pessimistic. We’re supposed to be jolly and happy for the holidays. I just don’t think the same way as other people. I don’t think that anyone should tell me how I should feel for the holidays though. We shouldn’t try to invalidate other people’s feelings or their experiences. For me? I’ve just never had very happy holidays. My birthday is close to the holidays, and I’ve never had a birthday where I didn’t cry at the end of it.
Christmas, New Year’s, and my birthday are all wrapped up within 10 days or each other. I carry that holiday sadness on with me through out. The worst part of it is that we always have time off, which leaves me sad and by myself for two weeks.
For the longest time, I would always remember the heart break that I had that year. The past two years I haven’t felt that way, because I now have someone who really loves me. I do think that the holidays are really tough for people who are single, or living by themselves. It also often makes us really see who our true friends are. Who is hanging out with who, what you didn’t get invited to, or even who you want to see this holiday. I can only list a handful of people who fall into that list for me.
This is just who I am, and how I feel about the holidays. Not only do I have to hear christmas carols on the radio for an entire month, but I just don’t care for celebrating a holiday that isn’t necessarily relevant to me.
Well, Happy Freaking Holidays. At least I have the pup to love me.
