I have to say, I echo Bean's sentiments wholeheartedly.

Christmas sucks. All this talk of love is squeezed into one month, but the focus is on shopping and returning items to the fuckin' store. I've got no gf at the moment, my family beyond my mom don't send cards, people are in church singing hymns while people freeze to death in the cold...

...but on the bright side, I think they're still showing James Bond movies on SPIKE TV.

Well, I like christmas because I get lots of free beer from work, and I like Turkey but on the crappy side, I have to visit and be visited by family, plus after Christmas Dinner I always make a monster shit and it takes it's time to get out.

I've spent the last 18 hours either crying or trying not too, you wanna know why? You wanna know why I'm so miserable on this jolly fucking day? I spent the whole day working, and came home anxious to check the phone for messages or numbers on the call display. Do you wanna know how many people tried calling me today to wish me a merry Xmas? NOT FUCKING ONE! Not my fucking so called friends, not the dozens of fucking family members I have scattered across the fucking country, not ONE FUCKING PERSON COULD GIVE A SHIT THAT I EVEN EXISTED TODAY!

Well FUCK EM! FUCK em and their fucking little happy family get togethers, fuck their stupid little stockings, and fuck every single one of them and their self-righteous "giving thanks" crap they spew at their fucking family dinners! Sitting nice and cozy in their fucking living rooms, under their fucking trees laughing and carrying on like the fucking brady bunch. So perfectly fucking self-assured that they've been good little boys and girls all fucking year long. Then calling up the few fucking people that made it onto their fucking Xmas greeting list and wishing them a happy fucking Xmas, totally oblivious to the fact that there are some of us out there that are fucking miserable and crying because not one fucking person has the fucking decency to call up and say "Hey, I was thinking about ya." Totally ignorant to the pain and fucking misery that some of us are going through right now because this time of the year is for the people that can afford to send cards and gift certificates and all the other bullshit. It's not for the poor and lonely people like me, FUCK NO! Why would you waste time one someone like me? I'm only asking for a few minutes of human contact, but you'd all rather spend your fucking time on people that are asking for hundreds of dollars worth of gifts instead.

And I'd like to wish a very special FUCK YOU, to the assholes in my life who talk to me regularly every other time of the fucking year, but neglect to think of me today because their too busy calling up people they haven't talked to since last fucking Xmas, and won't talk to again until next fucking xmas. For all of YOU assholes, I'd like you to know just how fucking miserable I am today because none of you cocksuckers could stand to waste TWO FUCKING MINUTES of your time on me. You people deserve to burn in hell you miserable fucking, self absorbed, uncaring, hateful, selfish pricks!

There's only twenty minutes left to the day. 20 minutes of what has to be one of the worst days of my fucking year, and I just wanna make sure I thank all of those people in my life that have completley and totally "forgotten" me today. I think the saddest part is, is that you probably really DID forget about me. And this isn't directed at just one person, so if you're sitting back thinking "Oh, he's talking about his parents, or this person or that person" FUCK YOU TOO! Friends, Family the whole fucking bunch of you can suck my jolly white ass till you fucking choke and die! You don't fucking deserve to know me you worthless uncaring assholes. And if you think I'm just gonna regret this in the morning, fuck you! My only fucking regret is that most of the people I'm talking about won't ever get to read this.

One phone call you pricks, just one fucking phone call is all I needed. Merry fucking Xmas for Andrew. FUCK YOU!

Yeah Bean, I can sort of relate. My mother's nieces all regularly fail to send her a card on her birthday or Christmas, which is pretty sad since she regularly remembers their birthdays and Christmas. I don't care if they don't send me anything, but it bothers me that they diss her like that because she loves them dearly.

What I find ironic is that they're all a bunch of "born again Christians", but apparently they'll never forgive my mother of having taken a more liberal path than their somewhat conservative one. They're going to get a very nasty email from me in a few days.

Bean, I'm gonna give you the same advice I gave my mom (however, I think you're already on the way judging from your post above) Fuck 'em. If they can't take the time to give a shit, why should you? As far as I'm concerned, I have NO family beyond my mom and my dad's mother. I pretty much disowned my own father before he died 'cause he was never around, the same goes for anybody else who can't be bothered to pick up the damn phone and just say "hi" once in a while.

Christmas in North America is the ultimate hypocritical holiday. It's eclipsed by selfishness and commerce, it seems to no longer have anything to do with ANY Christian values, values which I find to be more alive and active among the athiests and agnostics that I know. If Jesus were alive today, I think he'd sound a lot like Howard Stern in his criticism of this holiday which has turned into the ultimate retard-fest.

Christmas has become a joke.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I have no friends. I have one friend who I can count on, and oddly enough that's my ex. Fuck the rest of them. And my family? Heh, I said fuck'em a long time ago, and although I was just on verge of trying to patch things up with all of them, fuck them too!

I can't even begin to describe how hurt I am that nocody seemed to remember me on Xmas day. Even my coworker brought me in a card. I wish I had of known at the time that it was the only kind of acknowledgment I'd be getting this year. My parents are coming up to visit my sons tomorrow, so I know they'll bring gifts and such, but still. A phone call. How fucking hard is it to do? And I'm not saying that each and every person I know, owes it to me to call me on Xmas day, but out of all of them, there wasn't one of em had the decency, or cared enough to call. Most of them (my "friends" at least) even know what kind of situation I'm in in my life right now, and still nothing. So the way I see it, who needs friends like that? I'd rather be lonely and depressed because I don't know anybody, then to be miserable because the people I DO know don't actually give a shit.

Well, over my years I've had very few what I'd consider real friends, the kind of people who will remember my birthday etc. So most of the time I hang out with people who I'm friends with, but I don't really care about, and who don't really care about me, but we still have fun together, and it's better than drinking alone, so it doesn't really bother me. I've never found it easy to really connect with people, but that's mostly because I find it hard to find something to talk about with people who I haven't spent much time with, or don't share my interests.
