Christmas is a sad holiday for me [View all]

Ever since my parents died mom in 07 and dad in 1997 Christmas is that dreaded day I do not look forward to all year. Yes I went to relatives house and hung out with the family but its not the same and never will be ever again. I'm single so woman to spend it with, no kids, I seriously hate being depressed every year on this day. Its turned in get shitfaced play video games and pass out day....Sorry for my ramblings Im 1 beer away from being shitfaced and needed to just put something into words. Sorry for the downer thread to all who enjoy the holidays Merry Christmas! Cherish what you have now and never forget it.
