Kind of a follow up from my question from a few days ago, for me just depresses me and usually I’m working or worried about stuff anyways so I don’t know how to enjoy festivities, plus being eternally alone without a partner makes things even sadder. Xmas is more of a post it of how much my life has failed.

    I think as far as holidays go, it’s pretty decent:

    • I get some work free time.
    • Its a distraction from the fact that there’s no fucking daylight which makes me miserable,
    • I get some gifts and give some gifts. It’s not about their material worth but it’s cool that people actively try make someone else happy. We don’t do that everyday.
    • There is a lot colorful lights. I love colorful lights.
    • I get a lot of time to hyperfixate on some kind of programming / linuxing computer stuff. Maybe gaming.

    I feel like a lot negatives of Christmas don’t affect me because: I don’t watch TV or ads, don’t go much to shops or any public places for that matter, I don’t really use social media outside of Lemmy. Also, I don’t have a big extended family.
