I Hate Christmas

Hi sweetie. First of all, i don't think you hate it. I think you cannot stand it for what you went thru. Sad to think how most have to grow up faster and with such devastation in life. Sorry you had to go thru that. I am sure you will get that christmas spirit back. You just have to believe in it. It normally comes from the heart. Good luck to you. TATA.

I am so sorry that you have had such bad experiences of Chrtistmas. It must be hard seeeing other people celebrating it feeling as you do. I hope and pray that eventually you manage to shake off your sad and unhappy experiences and learnn to enjoy the festivities!!

Scrooge! Grinch! Just kidding, but seriously, Christmas isn't that bad. I love Christmas. The best thing ever happened to me this Christmas. My insurance company sent me a letter on Christmas Eve. No co-payments and I don't have to pay for my medication for six months. That relieves so much stress off of my mother and I right now because I cannot afford my health care. I am a college student, making hardly any money at all, and I usually have to choose between medication and the necessities every single month. This was the first Christmas that I actually believe in miracles because I didn't know how I was going to survive. I can't hate Christmas. I think that people truly forget about the real meaning of Christmas. Family, health and food. I got my health this Christmas.

Hi chip, some meditation, huh! Life is tough really, but it is tougher to those who lose their mothers at a young age. I am glad though that you turned out to be a good person. It is not that you hate Christmas. Perhaps you just missed your mom and the times that she wanted you to be happy, like when she put the gifts from Santa. chip, am sure that your mom is smiling down upon you right now, and is glad that her little girl is all grown up and even ready to have a family of her own...Merry Christmas!

hi,To whom satisfy you have started this discussion i didn't get it.Who are we to talk/feel/question to somebody else who are not visible or hypothetical... After all we are living creatures created by Male and Female lining creatures just like any animal/insect/bird... To satisfy ourselves we have created God... Why so many Gods in this world... Or Gods also divided the earth just like Kings...Hindu/Muslim/Cristian...????..what are doing all these Gods..what is their duty.Is it only duty for them to support human beings..then what is the hell with????? I hope you understand fact without God's fear???

I think that to lose someone near to Christmas must be the most awful experience and I can understand how you feel about Christmas. I do hope that in time you learn to enjoy Christmas and to join in the magic and fun. Have you ever read this from the 1897 New York Sun, I think that it is lovely: [i]"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. "Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.' "Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? "VIRGINIA O'HANLON. "115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET." VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.[/i] http://www.newseum.org/yesvirginia/ I do hope that soon you to will be enjoying Happy Christmas's again!!
