Pretty straightforward.

Mine was bad... Worst ever, and it wasn't about the presents.

my christmas was great, i don't think i've ever had a bad one. i just miss being a kid and getting excited like i used to do.

also it makes it tougher to enjoy since a lot of people aren't having a good christmas this year because of economic troubles but, mine was good. :thumbsup:

the vicodin isn't dulling the pain?

The overall feeling was terrible. We had it at this house, piece of shit it is, and usually we have it with our family. We usually travel to my relatives nice house and stay there for the day, and celebrate there. It's nice to be there and see them. But since we moved, we can't do that now because the one-two hour trip is now at least five. Which is unreasonable.

Anyway, life is in a shit hole for my parents and me it seems... My father cried to me because he saw how my life was going, and he wants me to be happy. This is a father who never cries. :'( Truly, my life is shit. I wonder if death is better than this.

Show you're probably fat ass dad pictures of North Korean children and then ask him if he still feels the same.

jesus, i get sick of that sob story. not that you didn't have a craptastic Christmas, but saying that death is better than life.

i would say in your case breathing still beats not breathing. how about getting your life together so your dad doesn't have to worry himself sick over you?

sorry for the tough love.

well, since the wife went to anaheim back in november, i have been home alone in the snow, pretty much snowed in most the time, so it was a christmas alone.
since we will celebrate it on the 31st after she gets back it's just a day wih bad tv.

on the other hand, for christmas dinner i am trying something different.

I am making cinnamon glazed chicken. the kitchen smells awesome, and i think it just started snowing again.

not bad overall, but i would have liked it if the wife were here.

meh.


I truly doubt your life is shit. you have internet, and you have family.
you are young and have a ways to grow up. life is good even at it's worse.
this is christmas, and pity parties aren't allowed.

Pretty meh. Didn't get many gifts, but didn't really want anything either. The meal was great though. I'm also very much enjoying the Star Trek movie marathon. The Undiscovered Country is on now:).

Mine was pretty good, though I just find it was way better when I was a kid. I guess the gift excitement is just not the same when being an adult. But nonetheless it's still good to see family I don't see often, eat tons of food, go to Christmas eve service, watch the little ones get their gifts, etc.

It's always a good time. The saddest part is how fast it just goes away. Though it's not over yet, throughout the weekend we'll be seeing more family, and then there's new year's eve. Wow 2009 already. Maybe this will be the year of the Linux desktop. .... :p
