Anyone else hate the holidays

This is my least favorite time of the year I dread the holidays can't wait until 2015. Growing up, spent almost no time with my abusive family. Holidays were generally spent alone since my family dinners even with extended were just everyone talking shit about everyone else and arguing. Plus not to sound shallow, but I have never received a single gift for the holidays / birthdays, etc so I was always insanely jealous of everyone else.

I can't be the only one who despises the holidays out there
 
I can see where you're coming from, but I absolutely love this time of year. My birthday is on December 16th, and then with Christmas and New Years there also, and the skiing starting to get really good, December is always pretty awesome for me.
 
I hate the part of the gifts, and all the people with normal jobs who don't understand that some of us have to work on the holidays. People are always asking "are you gonna be here for Christmas, and what do you want for Christmas" and for fucks sake, I have no idea whether I'll be working or not until a few days before usually, and all I want for Xmas is to see my fucking family! I hate what a shitshow the malls get and grocery stores on the 23rd and 24th. All you want to do is get some simple supplies for life, and you are barraged with the crowds
 
but seriously OP i feel bad for you, the holidays are like the best time of year, and it sounds like you need a hug. If you hate the holidays, then just take this time to go skiing.
 
fuck im delivering phone books today cause my route needs to be done by friday. and yeah holidays dont really mean anything to me....at all
 
If they have always sucked then why dont you start doing something with friends. Make your own tradition to do that you enjoy. I just enjoy getting drunk and skiing over xmas, thats my holidays.
 
Holidays suck. Family? ha, what's that? Every time I'm around my family I get criticized for everything I do and they talk straight shit to my face. I've always gotten the short end of the stick with my siblings and it's annoying. Not even just christmas but thanksgiving and easter as well. I hate holidays and I don't mean to bring people down about it - if you're lucky enough to have good ones then that's great - but I can never find anything positive in them. I honestly just sit surrounded by 25 people that I know don't think very highly of me. They're all happy, smiling, and having a good time while I sit there wishing I could go home. Being surrounded by so much of that knowing they don't want you there is fucking stupid. On top of that going back to school(when i was in high school) and hearing about how awesome everyone's holidays we're just made me feel that much more shitty. Yeah, you could say I'm really jealous of people who can enjoy holidays.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are too close together and I can't really handle the bullshit of both in such close proximity and I can only muster the effort for one of them. I didn't fly home for Xmas I extended my ski trip because I wanted to hit another storm.

Im sort of an asshole though so I've never really truly been sad when I've been away on one of these holidays and have spent it by myself so I feel worse for the other people who dislike the holidays for whatever personal reasons than I do for myself. But again I think Im lucky Im a social and outgoing person but I can also handle being a loner sort of because I was an only child and also since my dad is kind of like that.

Good luck to anyone feeling down though things will pick up and Merry Xmas to everyone on here!
 
love my families xmas dinners, no fucking dipshit relatives, just my parents and sisters. my dad sometimes gets a little too drunk and jams to hair bands, but other than that its nice.

dude thats got to be like he best part.

Before i was adopted holidays werent really a thing, i remember my family getting together but it was really just a big meeting with arguing, and not enough money for real presents.

After I was adopted, christmas became the shit. The thing is, you can always turn that holiday frown upside down! You just have get your shit together long enough to get married and pop out 2.25 kids, and BOOM CHRISTMAS IS SAVED

Try and create your own happier reality for each of the relatives you have that you do not have a warm relationship with. Its up to you to stop giving a shit about their lame ass opinions and to put your relationship with them in a place of your choosing. If you are doing positive things in your life and going places it is probably just jealousy anyways that you are young and are not old and boring like them.

My biggest current family problems stem from other people relationships or lack there of and I don't really have any issues with my own relationships with relatives even the ones who have stabbed me in the back and somewhat recently. But its not easy I have had to put the betrayal in certain places.

My relatives behave yours do towards me. As I have aged I have decided to not blame them and to only blame my mother. Its her fault if she didn't talk about me like Im a black sheep they wouldn't. And my relationship with my mom has nothing to do with them so I forgive her for acting towards me like this for separate reasons.

Its funny when an uncle hates on you tho and none of their kids got into a college anywhere near as good as yours though.

Hope that helps gl.

he'll get some liquor shooters in em and he'll break out the pat benetar,
 
I like spending time with family and friends, but not big into buying gifts. Like buying some piece of shit made in china means anything, how about my time instead! But that's tradition now :(
 
Fuck man, I'm sorry you never had the stereotypical holiday season but you're your own man now, make it happen
 
Thanksgiving is like christmas without all the bullshit. I don't eat turkey and I still feel it's the superior holiday.

That said my christmas went better than expected. Not that bad
 
I know this it's going to sound kind of prissy but my family Christmas was great. But everyone else close to me has been having a shit time and I've been there with them trying to make them feel better. Got a few friends whose parents are divorcing, breakups, and a friend who got arrested. So personally my Christmas wasn't horrible but the holidays to make everything seem worse
