That feel when you spend Christmas working.

it doesn't matter as long as I get presents

I don't spend it with family. I get to hear the neighbors' party and their dance music.

Christmas is turning out to be my least favorite celebration. I think about all the homeless children, unemployed fathers and abused women, while capitalism tempts them with things they can't buy and get fucking depressed.

>alone
I wish. My mother won't let me be alone for Christmas no matter what I do. She almost broke down my door last year. We don't even live together, or even in the same city.

I know that feel.
You're sat there all alone feeling sorry for yourself as you can hear the neighbors all enjoying themselves.
>>8142459
Fucking Jehovah's witness, stay off my porch.
>>8142450
I haven't received a present or even a card for many, many years.
>>8142449
You get an increased rate right?
When I used to work you got 3x your regular rate per hour for working holidays like Christmas.

>>8142470
>Jehovah's witness

The fuck you just called me, capitalist piglet?

This shit goes on /r9k/.

>>8142475
And you belong on shrinemaiden.

We can't all get what we want.

>>8142470
Yep, 3 times the regular cash. It's also night shift so more extra money.

>>8142475
And roleplaying avatarfags like you go to pooshlmer, but what can you do.

Christmas can be the best time of the year. You don't have to be depressed, you weren't born a loser.

The only thing you have to do is invite Your Lord Jesus Christ into your heart, come on brother, let's celebrate Christ's birthday together!

>>8142486
That's the fucking Jehovah's witness, >>8142470

>>8142470
It's not your porch, it's your father's

>>8142486
Would be slightly awkward considering I have no friends and haven't spoken to my family in like 6 years.

>>8142521
Why you wouldn't talk with your family for 6 years?
I will be spending Christmas with my family, but I am much more looking to new years party

I've stopped celebrating holidays. I only celebrate character's birthdays now because they have more meaning to me. The only problem is, there's a lack of characters I feel close to so there's a few months where I go without celebrating any birthdays. Last year I celebrated Yukiho's birthday on the 23rd and the 24th, which is closest to Christmas. I baked a cake from scratch and imported some green tea and a kyusu. I used whipped cream variations as the topping for nearly all the cakes I baked with the exception of Chihaya's. I think this year I'm going to use mostly Italian buttercream frostings.

Gotta start thinking about the flavors and types of cakes too. Yukiho's was a plain white foam cake with lightly sweetened whipped cream and Chihaya's was also a foam cake I believe, except with blueberry buttercream frosting. I completely forgot what Haruka's was. For Iori I only remembered at the last second so I purchased a vanilla cupcake. I had the idea of making a lavender cake for Chihaya's birthday last year but I couldn't think of how that'd work. I'll get the kinks worked out this time around. Lavender with lemon is a popular combo, so maybe I'll do the cake one flavor and the frosting another.

I FUCKING HATE THAT FEEL! I even tried to spend these days in another house, alone, with /jp/ and a laptot just to avoid that feel.

I don't spend christmas with my extended family.

Every year my parents go over to my aunts house with the rest of the family and I just stay home

Every year everyone ask where I am

I've made up an excuse not to go every year

>>8142535
Praise be Jehovah.

>>8142544
On the bright side you don't have to buy people presents.

>>8142544
I honestly don't understand that bro, why so many of you have bad contact with their family.

For me family is 1 of the most important thing in life, cause in the end you can always be sure your family will stand behind you and help you if you need.

>>8142521
God doesn't care about that.

He only feels love towards you.

>>8142533
Because they're all drones who work 9-5 jobs ect.
They don't like the fact that I take it easy.
I would also rather not waste time on trivial bullshit like discussing television, gossip and general racism,

I live alone and spend all holidays alone too. Sometimes a get invitations to parties but they are usually from family members I would rather avoid spending my time with. And if I feel down on that day I just log into any MMO and spend my evening with the "losers" talking about life and stuff.

There's no difference between it and any other day.

>>8142557
Sorry to hear that.
I am somehow very lucky with my family.
Never had any big problems with them, and my mom keeps telling me always I should keep doing what I love in Life and never let people decide my life

>>8142535
I've also started practicing baguettes for a certain 31 year old pink drill-haired girl that I love. However, just bread instead of a cake would be kind of disappointing. I didn't celebrate Yayoi's birthday last year because of the closeness of their birthdays; I'd have two cakes. I suppose I could bake something else. Decisions, decisions.

Also, if anyone else does something like this, do you sort of have an idea for a cake in your head? Yukiho's cakes need to be white and not very sweet. Chihaya's caked need to be blueish and on the sweeter side. Haruka's need to be red and have a bit of tartness from fresh fruit, ect.

>>8142549

I don't know why really.

I just never really felt close with any of my family outside of immediate.

I suppose it's only because I consider them family by name. If they weren't I wouldn't want to spend any time with them

>>8142575
I think you should give them a chance again.
Maybe if you try to understand them better they will try to understand you too

I won't have you little bastards ruining this day. Reported.

Wat, he's a magic device in which you pour alcohol and get videogames.

In most you people you only get vomit.
