Its Christmas day but I its feel like ordinary day.

Hello I am sorry it doesn't feel like Christmas for you don't feel bad it feels like just another day for me as well. I have no presents to give and family is out of town because my grandma fell and in a rehab she broke her hip. And I am not cooking too much maybe a little something later. You take care of your mom and thank God you have her that would be a present to me just to have her there. So I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear about your mom, I hope she feels better. My parents are really sick too so I understand what you are going through. We are just happy they are still here for another Christmas. About the gifts try not to think about it because it is really not about the presents. If you think about the reason for the season, and think about how fortunate you are to still have your parents with you today.

Hi friend... I'm sorry that you feel sad during Christmas eve. You are not alone in saying that Christmas spirit is no longer alive. We are facing so many problems lately and that is not a good thing...right. But we must stay happy and optimistic or else this life we are living will forever torture us. Let's make a difference.

I don't have any gifts received this Christmas and I am not expecting one. With the gift of life that I got, I felt blessed everyday. I got what I want but after having it all, I still felt empty. When I lost them, I don't feel I wanted to have those material things again. It does not make me happy. I rather gave gifts but exclusive to my family only and not to my friends. Being myself all the time and sometimes not....

I know. It just gets worse every year. I was already feeling sleepy at 11:00pm. Tired from cooking and all. At midnight we just ate a little and went to sleep.

Christmas is the one day that I would hate to feel like ordinary, aside from my birthday. I love Christmas, and as much as possible I try my best to fill it with lots of fun activities. With the ongoing economic recession, most people feel sad because they are used to having lots of money and gifts on the day of Christmas. In other words, no money, no happy Christmas, which shouldn't be the case. People should learn see the blessings in small things. bulastika, your Christmas may not be as happy as you wanted it to be, but you should still be thankful that you have your mom with you, even if she's sick. Be happy! :) God bless.

I've had that happen to me 1 year where I didn't feel in the Christmas spirit. I was depressed at the time. this year however i'm in the christmas spirit and feel better. i guess its because your worried about your moms health and tired that you might not be perked up for Christmas. I worry about my fathers illness too which can get me tired. i try not to because theres not much i can do. he has seizures and fell hundreds of times. its hard but i got help from other family as well. hopefully something can cheer you up. Merry Christmas

hi bulastika yes finally its Christmas day here in the USA in California and its about nine o clock in the morning and its another rather ordinary day in that I have no place to go so am here mylotting again but my son will be coming to see me and I do'have some gifts to give him. He already gave me mine earlier but I wanted to wait til Christmas to give him mine.Ihope your mom is okay now and that you will get some much needed sleep. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

I have the same feeling.I did my work as usual today.But we had a dinner outside with friends.And then i returned to my laboratory and continued my experiment.I also received nothing from others but blessing.Some of my friends went to a public square near our university to celebrate christmas.

Hello bulastika Merry Chritmas, and think all days are always an ordinary days, its the us and our avtivities and feelings about an day that makes it special one.Well am sorry on your mom's part and hope could gain some strength to survive the oldage.Aldo nice work of you to wake up and watch out and caring for your mom. Me too today didn;t rec any gifts neither did gave anyone, but still its an christmas day for me atleast.Even get some cool sleep and later enjoy some christmas as life is to be kept going on whatever happens, Wish you an Happy holy Merry christmas.Happy mylotting.

We still had our Noche Buena last night but today, like you said, feels like an ordinary day. I am on my computer doing the same things I do on any other day. What makes me happy is seeing young kids enjoying the day. I m starting to believe that CHristmas really is most enjoyed by kids. Anyway, I have no regrets still because I have done the necessary things to do like attending the mass, greting Jesus CHrist, having noche buena with family and just being with my family. :D There's still time. we can still exert some more effort to make this day extraordinary. :D

Thank you for a post about Christmas i can relate to for once. My family is well absent but living (this is the best way I can say it). They have made choices and personally I chose not to be around people that make unhealthy choices in their life and do not respect me for who I am. It is hard! The one fairly significant person that I had a relationship we both agreed we were done trying to make an extremely complicated situation work because it just hurts way to much. Me and the person that broke up you could say are attempting to find a way to stay friend, but it is awkward to say the best. So it is just me and Tigger (the cat). With working full-time and full-time school I just did not have the time to invest in Christmas. Yesterday was a pretty normal day. Today, I woke up played with the cat in bed with his feather. Got up feed him a surprise can of canned catfood for breakfast (normally he just gets it for dinner), but it Christmas. We relaxed watch a CD of Gilmore Girls that I rented from Netflix. Then, I got online and posted participation on Mylot! That was my day. It is nice to hear that for other people it is just an ordinary day it takes away some of the heartbreak and bitterness of the day. Thanks for lifting my spirits!

IKR!!!!!!! Im from JAMAICA, we're usually into the christmas spirit but its dying down. Less Poeple have decorations, less family dinners, less EVERYTHING!!! You guys are having fun.
