Many times. Since I don’t celebrate Christmas, I’m just cooking and watching LOTR movies.

I usually spend it alone on a snowboard trip, and absolutely love it.

Every fucking year for the last 15 years. I would have it no other way.

My partner was away, so I decided to decline invitations from friends, got myself a box of luxury chocolates and just generally treated myself to a nice day.

It was wonderful

Most Christmases I spend alone. I used to have a good paying job so I would buy myself a Christmas present. I lost my job because of Trump and Musk cuts to government contractors. Last Christmas, I watched Looney Toons on Internet Archive under a blanket, trying not to think how lonely I am, cold I am, or how hungry I am.

I hate Christmas.

Only once, this past year. (Not quite alone tho, my wife was with me.)

I started feeling nauseated and heavily fatigued Christmas Eve, and by Christmas Day I was pretty sure I had some kind of stomach bug. Sucks to be laid out in bed sick on a holiday.

But also kinda nice to defer the celebrations a couple days and spread out those family visits.

So far, no. But that day may be coming

Back when my family still spoke to me I ended up having to spend one Christmas in a lockdown psychiatric facility. Couldn’t even contact them. My life is pure chaos and it’s only getting worse. The part I fear the most is that I’m only middle-aged.

Sort of. My spouse worked nights in the oncology ICU during COVID times, then slept most of the day. Then back to work. 1 accumulated hour of actual Christmas spent eating breakfast and opening gifts sucked.
