Not me, spending it with family, then extended family then lots of friends. Christmas rocks

Me. And I only have 5 beers and half a bottle of wine in. That's never going to be enough.

At least you guys have tags.
God that was even more pathetic than the spending Christmas alone thing.

The other part of The New, Improved White Man Xmas involves watching The Warriors repeatedly. I would so be in one of these gangs.
Hmmm, I bet I could convince my brother that it's a family tradition to watch The Warriors on Christmas. He may take my drunkness on the phone as frank sincerity.
"Come on, Francis, The Warriors runs in our family like nearly-functional alcoholism!"

I'll technically be with a bunch of other study abroad students, but I'm not too fond of them so alone is basically how I'm spending Christmas as well.

You think you've got it bad? I'm slumming Live Journal for embarassingly bad personal blogs.
I returned to an old favorite that I've been neglecting the past two months:

This is the single most depressing thread I've ever seen...
Whatever. Christmas is two things.Docpan said:
1) Commercialism
2) Time with the family
Fuck 1). And 2) you can just do any other time of the year. If you don't have a family, then you should be no more upset during Christmas than March 6th.
Seriously, put Christmas in that perspective. Shrug aside everything that surrounds the 'season' (spirit, cheer, etc) and just understand that it's another day.
Btw, I just had Christmas Eve dinner with my parents and three of their friends (two adults + child). I love my family, but it was torture. I was walking a fine line between 'charming' and 'outright asshole' all night. On leaving, they said: "Hey, take care of those two", but they could have just easily thought "What a horrible son! So cruel to his parents!". Fuck, they deserved it. My dad was doing a mock-Native accent all night when dishing out the smoked salmon. My mom was talking about... I'm not sure, no one knew.
Alcohol + family time = BAD
I kind of have this horrible, evil jealousy thing going on. I have one family member that I talk to on a routine basis, and any conversation with my mom invariably degenerates into a teenage-style bitchfest-contest where the winner is the one that says the most immature, regrettable things. Christmas is about family, I guess, but that just tends to make those of us with sub-par families feel like crap.
But then again, as Tolstoy said: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

And doesn't everyone feel better now?
At least I got presents, so I'm not the worst off here. I don't even mind it that much, I would have thought it'd be depressing.

God yes. I'm glad it's all over. I would just enter the dinning room to say "I can't find the candy" and they'd all fall into histerical laugher. Bunch of drunkards.
And I'm slightly dissapointed with my gifts (a puzzle book? thanks alot bro). I think my family has almost never managed to surprise me with something I've wanted/liked as a gift.

How related is this to you being in Alaska?
I won't be alone, but I could sneak off to Xbox Live for a couple hours. I'm sure you have DOA:U.

Come come! You're not alone, you're here and with the GAF family!
Ugh...man that was too sugary sweet for me
And what does your tag say? Something about hentai....
And the picture in your post looks like it's from a dating sim...
And the dessert in your pic looks like a dick with two balls pointing at the screen...
Maybe I ought to lay off the alkyhol...

Alone is sometimes better. Yes, it's been that bad... I wish I wasn't here (parents).

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
My mom came over last night...but that's it. I'm not really into Christmas that much, so I might find something to do alone. Like hit up the arcade or meet up with some friends, see if anyone wants to watch a crappy movie. But I'll most likely be alone for the good part of the day.
The being alone doesn't upset me, it's how everything is freaking closed today.

i've been recovering from a cold/flu for most of the week, and i'm currently in the "coughing up crap" stage. i'll probably stop by my uncle's house today since he lives a couple blocks over, but that's about it. i might drop by a friend's house if he's still in town. He's hoping to have gotten a DS. Hopefully so, i've been dying to play more people.

Yeah, i'm alone. I got drunk and yelled at my ex's answering machine last night, never did that before. :lol I should have bought myself a present. I don't know if its mean, but you guys made me laugh. Thanks.
Count me in the 'lone club.
I usually do the family thing on Boxing Day, as the lack of transport on Xmas day means I can't get to Grandmother / Uncles. I was going to buy a cycle for Xmas but never got around to it.
(pours another Vodka)
But when your on GAF - your never alone!

Ok, I've opened my presents....what the fuck do I do now! I've got roughly 16 hours to kill.
Sitting here.... Alone.... I feel like shit both emotionally and phyically (flu). I turn on the TV and see nothing but happy families gathering around the tree and sharing good times, so I turn it off. I put on some games but have no desire to play them whatsoever, so I turn them off. I turn on the computer and sulk on a message board, yet it makes me feel no better.
Maybe it's 'cuz I'm just not used to being alone on Christmas. Or maybe it's because that one day of the year where you get to flip off this bullshit world and forget all your troubles has been stripped away from me.. Either way, it sucks and I have nothing to look forward to.
Well... Time to get ready for work...

I spent it alone, but only because my family wasn't going to be able to all get together until this evening. So, yeah, today is belated Christmas.
It didn't bother me much, really. Christmas isn't a big deal to me, nor has it ever been, so I was perfectly content to spend a quiet day gorging on fine cinema: Days of Heaven, Paris, Texas, and the 5-hour version of Fanny & Alexander.

Time ta STEP IT UP
I spent my Christmas with my family from morning to 8PM. My family has some crazy/stupid members, but there are just as many cool ones too.
Then at 9PM I went out with my friends. We cruised, smoked, and made use of our Christmas presents. Ren and Stimpy + Weed = Bliss.
