To be quite honest, like any holidays, Christmas is another holiday for 2 or people to celebrate. It doesn’t really work quite well if you’re living alone, no matter – how many friends you have (or don’t have), how socially (un)prominent you are, how well (un)known you are – 364 days a year. Or 364 days 23 hours 59 seconds.

New Year. Everyone rings in together.
President’s Day. Everyone pays tribute to the past President. (regardless if they served the country good)
Valentines’ Day. A lovely romantic day for two to be together. (unless you want three or foursome)
Mother’s/Father’s Day. That’s the case if you have a mom or dad, of course, you celebrate together.
Labor Day. There can’t be only 1 Labor celebrating since it’s a day for everyone.
Thanksgiving. It’s extremely obvious.

…and Christmas….Another obvious one. Celebrating together.

Having been getting used to the idea of loneliness for the 9th consecutive year, it pretty much means nothing anymore. The idea of saying “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” seems to be a mainstream routine. Although, I will admit that it’s a routine that still shows that you care about people who you know. You’re giving love out. You receive the love in return. BUT, when the clock turns from 1159 to 12 midnight, I’m alone. It’s a strange feeling. You just want to have SOMEONE, regardless family, friend, boyfriend, hot fuck, to be there. for or with you. under an upbeat home. (Even if you have someone there but the atmosphere is gloomy, it doesn’t count)

I never get to actually “celebrate” right at THAT VERY moment (not the days before it arrives), so Christmas, like any holidays, pretty much meant nothing.

At least in my case it pretty much confirmed I’m the giver not receiver. I be there for them, but not vice versa.

It’s not a complain, like birthday, it’s just a disappointment.

If you have someone there with you to celebrate right at the very moment, cherish. Not everyone has the chance to be with someone in every corners around the world. Not everyone has the chance to be with someone at their current stage of life.

And once more, doing the mainstream routine……Merry Christmas.
