Is anyone else going to be alone on Christmas? I am seriously considering wrapping up my books tonight so that I can pretend I have presents.

Do what this guy said. Or, considering that you're lazy and autistic, just try to make someone else's day better tomorrow.

You could always go get day drunk at the bar and stay there until closing to keep the bartender company.

Don't do it, man. You'll just make yourself sadder.

Instead, go volunteer somewhere; you'll still get all that Christmas spirit of giving and shit, and you'll feel better afterwards for being charitable.

Thanks. I'm not lazy or autistic. I just don't know what to do. My family are gone and my girlfriend is on the other side of the country.

I am a commie, so I might just do that. Is that what Americans do? Everyone suggested it...

I'm alone this Christmas out of choice. It would be nice to have something to eat other than rice and tinned baked beans but otherwise I'm quite content.

I did that anyway. Pretty much anything I received in the mail during December, I wrapped and addressed from Santa.
Just enjoyable seeing that many things under the tree. Even when it results in outnumbering everyone else three to one.

Yep. Work keeps me from going home, but since most of my family are dead, there isn't much to go back to anyway.

>> No.5906062

>>5906055
What's the deal with the 7th?
We for some reason dedicate that day to the Magi. In my country it's probably a bigger thing than christmass since I rarely hear of even considering the whole "santa is real, kids!" deal but most people my age left grass and water for the magi's camels. We even have our forced-by-law end of year bonus divided between each holiday equally.

Okay then, where are you from? I assumed you are from some ex-soviet country. The 7th is christmas according to the (russian) orthodox church.

Seriously, what did you do? I was in SEA earlier this year and encountered a few people who had gotten themselves in situations like yours and they were always 18-21 year old #yolo lads who had behaved somehow idiotically. On the off-chance that it really wasn't your fault, my apologies.

>> No.5906120

I honestly prefer spending Christmas alone. This year I met up with friends though, which was kinda nice. I like spending time with them on 'special occassions' such as Christmas or New Years Eve. I like to think when they make time for me on such a day our relationship might actually be somewhat close. Although objectively we are probably just acquaintances.

Nah, I just moved abroad to be with my gf and in the process lived it up a little too much and made some bad decisions and in some cases acted like a dickhead and now I have to deal with the consequences. Although I'm now on the verge of moving to another new country to be with a new girl I have fallen for. I guess I can't say that my life isn't interesting. Actually, I'm starting to suspect that I may have some mental illness like bipolar.
