This time of year should be the GOAT. Brb cold weather, time off of work/school, brb time to catch up on some shows/video games/hobbies, brb hot chocolate, brb eggnog, brb sleeping in

But then you gotta stress about your dysfunctional family that hates each other trying to use you against each other.
Then you gotta stress about travel logistics, which part of family is visiting where etc
Then you gotta stress about choosing gifts for umpteen people, and you know everyone is gonna hate their gifts so you know deep down its just a waste of time and money but if you don't reciprocate you'll look like an *******
Then you gotta stress about trying to find time for doing the stuff you want to do (shows/video games/hobbies/whatever)

Seems like the cons outweight the pros

People only say merry christmas because they hope you'll say it back to them so they feel important, same goes for birthdays. It's a load of chittt

In Mexico rn skipping Christmas this year feels 10/10

Thank God my family is awesome and nobody buys gifts for anyone except their spouse and kids. Couldn't imagine trying to buy a gift for my uncle or all my cousins lol @ families that do this

I don't buy presents for friends either, its weird when they get me one but I've pretty much stopped that practice.

Aint this the truth.

I try to keep that feeling about Christmas I had as a kid. Its not easy.
