I don't have friends but I do have family. Being one of the few who actually make Christmas happen it's not fun anymore. Christmas isn't fun it's work and then it's a whole bunch of complaining from ungrateful family. I just keep telling myself the same lie my parents told themselves and say it's all for the kids but it's not. I don't even really know what it's for anymore.
Yeah as soon as I became an adult I realized how much work Christmas was. Not fun, not magical, just work. So I stopped doing christmas. Holidays are supposed to be about recreation and enjoying life. So now I do whatever I want.
