Well, this december, my original plans were to spend the christmas with the family, and the like, its been a long time since I dont have a decent one.
My mom and dad got divorced, and I have been living with her and she always drags me to horrible christmas events.
This year I moved in with my dad, and was expecting a nice normal xmas, but some friends called me to theyr beach house in an amazing place, it was a really tempting offer so i accepted it.
As a consequence, my dad told everyone to go to my grammas house in another town (a town I hate, no friends, nothing to do, no internet, etc...)
Either way, the beach house program got bombed by several reasons, and now im not going to either place, im alone!
Its a really weird feeling spending your christmas alone, knowing that it could have been a different way, i was kinda pissed at first, now I just want to enjoy the most of my empty house for 3 days.
But still, theres an empty void that doesnt seem to be filled, expectations that werent fullfiled, right now, christmas seems broken =/
So, be thankfull for your friends and family, they might not always be there for you.
Im having a taste of it now.

Can't really relate to this because holidays aren't very important to me. You still can't go to your grandma's house?

Only solution: online gaming.

I could go, but I have deep psycological traumas with the city she lives in (I lived there from 1 to 10), last time I went there, i was 100% of the time with a cluster headache.
And yes, online gaming ftw =)
Xmas loners unite!

This is my first christmas after my parents got seperated. Normally I love coming home for Christmas, it's such a nice break and I always feel like it really "grounds" me. But now of course everything is different, both my parents want to me around all the time with their respective families and it sucks to have to choose between them sometimes.
OP is right, enjoy and appreciate your family as much as possible during the holidays. Oh, and OP, try and make the most out of having the house to yourself!

Yeah this must suck. Luckily I have most of my immediate family with me.

Back in 2002 I was working for Walgreens which never fuckin closed during the year. I was about 17 at that time and had to work Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years plus I was still in high school during this time. But right after working I would end up just going to party with friends instead of going with my family since I would usually be with them all day if I wasn't working. It felt so out of place not being able to be with my family during those hours of the day b/c I was working.
It didn't take long for me to quit that place since they never offered me a raise for coming in on days that nobody wanted to work and never even questioned the days I did have to work. Being without your loved ones during times like this can seem awkward and out of place but don't let it get you down.
Happy Holidays!
