I Hate the Holidays

I loved the holiday’s before my children grew up and decided that I am not good enough to spend the holidays with, so now I spend the holidays alone with my cat. I remember all the holidays past when my children were young. Those are...

Once upon a time a little girl with bright blue eyes was born to some misguided individuals who thought the child would fix their broken marriage. Consumed by their own pain they neglected and abused the child. Finally parting ways...

I hate the holidays because my family doesn't feel like family to me. My cousin (who is the only one that actually feels like family to me) asked me to go to her thanksgiving party but I don't want to because I'm sick and tired of going...

I'm spontaneous....I feel the holidays are forced....I hate the materialism, the noise,
the "I should feel a certain way " aspect about them....

Piles of crap everywhere, loud terrible music, and tons of people stuck in one place talking alot and confusing me. Responsibilities I don't want, money spent on me I didn't want, expectations...

FUCK
THE
HOLIDAYS

Another year of hearing my grandmother bitch about not knowing what to get me for Christmas..
Another year of navigating the minefield that is my mother's ferocious antipathy towards my father..
Another year of being coerced into...

I can't remember a holiday, birthday or big event that hasn't been ruined by my parents. They constantly argue, its almost like a tradition. Not little arguments but big arguments that go on for hours, they call each other terrible...

So why do I hate the holidays...Let me count the ways! Maybe a warning first: this isnt a pity party- I dont want any ones sympathy or invitations to join them, but thanks in advance. It probably will come across as a pity party or as a...

I don't like any holidays. I especially detest Christmas. But I'll get to that. It has occurred to me that the holidays, seem to break down into a few categories, promoting gluttony, promoting consumerism, and promoting alcoholism. Some...

So we get togather with family we normally cant stand to be around the rest of the year, then theres the food..maybe its ok and maybe you'll end up spending the nite sleeping with the tidy bowl man cuz your puking your brains out (you...

Why can't they just skip over November and December and go right to January? I hate these two months with the people having fun and partying and families getting together and laughing and reminiscing, blah, blah, blah....makes me want...

These last five years are the beginning of my celebrating the holidays. Because I got married five years ago. If I had known then what I know now. I just don't know if I would have gone this route.
There is so...

when i was little i couldn't wait for the holidays. i loved every single one. even valentines day which now is the worse day ever for me!! i hate september cause i know the holidays r just around the corner and this saturday is gonna be...

I have always hated the holidays..it just goes on way to long.  Maybe I'm jealous of all the happy little people who have families that give a crap about you, but I have never had a thanksgiving, christmas, easter, whatever with...

I hate the holidays. Every year I think I am going to be so excited. I shop for my family and husband and look forward to seeing everyone happy. The reality is that they all wake up too early and are crabby all day. The meaning 'share...

I just don't like when people decide to treat you different just because it is a holiday. What about the other days, when you usually act like I don't exist.. ? How about those days? On top of that, it just is beyond me to blow alot of...

I hate feeling like I have to be in a certain mood for a whole month.

It's exhausting.

And being reminded of things.

Being so triggered.

I love the festivities, but I would rather be in command of when and how and what I see in...

Holidays are stupid.... I hate them... Nothing good ever comes of them at least for me. Everyone else has a family or friends to spend time with, what the hell am I supposed to do?
The other holiday I hate is Valentine's Day... Not...

I'm not a fan of Christmas.
I've been called everything from a Scrooge to a Christmas Nazi.
I am not a fan of the hypocrisy and greed that is celebrated around this time of year.
I'm especially not a fan of the same twelve songs being...

... and that's always a bad start.  We expect so much from these isolated days.  Valentines Day, we all fall in love.  New Years, we get laid and have a great party.  Christmas, Thanksgiving, we expect our dysfunctional families to...
