Why aren't you celebrating Christmas Eve with your friends and/or family, /co/?
Abusive parents I haven't talked to in five years. I don't like to tell people about it so my friends think I'm having Christmas with my family like a normal person.
I am with my family.
Friends... well, I guess I consider that to be you guys.
Merry Christmas /co/.
I live very far away.
>>78414617
Shut the fuck up, Boco.Merry Christmas, faggot.
>>78414511
Yes.
I wish I wasn't.
>>78414511
because my sister's states away with her boyfriend who just proposed. I'm as happy for her as I am jelly. She always did have all the life experiences..
and my dad's working because he works every holiday because despite making mad money he's absolutely fucking terrible with money. Mom says he drinks it all, I say unless he's mainlining goldschlager that's impossible.
and because i have to live with my mom because i'm fucking done giving a shit about life after finally moving where i wanted to live and finding it was too expensive for an unmotivated piece of shit like me, I see her every day, so we're gonna go have fun tomorrow.
>>78414511
I am though. We're in the living room watching TV right now.
>>78414632
>Merry Christmas, faggot.
Stop that. He doesn't even deserve season's greetings.
Fuck you, Boco. You piece of trash.
I hate them all. Everyone on the side I care about is dead and the one person left who is important to me moved halfway across the country.
>>78414702
Merry Christmas to you too, Anon.
I love you just the way you are.
We have this thread every holiday.
I am, sorta. Christmas isn't coming on Christmas this year for my family, we're pushing it back a little so my Mom can recover from cancer treatments and family can arrive.
NEARLY FORGOT THE EGG NOG. I FORGET EVERY YEAR, BUT NOT THIS ONE.
Because I don't really have a family and all my friends are with their families.
I detest both of my parents; narcissistic and passive-aggressive manipulators who fucked my life up and avoided any responsibility for it.
i.e Creating huge fucking problems for me then leaving me to sort it out.
My brothers are both ok but they are both almost as screwed as I am.
I didn't know people "celebrated" Christmas Eve. Now that we are all adults, we don't meet up until the mid-afternoon dinner at my aunt's house on Christmas Day and then we exchange presents before going home. When we were kids we opened presents on Christmas morning but still did the dinner thing.
>>78414511
Watching Bond movies and drinking 10-year scotch with the family right now. Merry Christmas eve, ya bastards.
Because I am working a nightshift 6pm - 6am :( I get christmas night off and then I'm back on another nightshift on boxing day.
Pretty sure it's the end of the road with my girlfriend once new year hits too.
Feels bad man.
>>78414824
Are you me?
>>78414824
Im sorry bro
I'm with them right now, but I needed a breather.
No father, brother is being a junkie on the streets and my mother is going on vacation with her boyfriend.
I'll be celebrating christmas with my cats and dogs, just the way I like it.
Merry christmas ;_;7
>>78414511
They're either working or caroling right now. Forced church choir and school choir bullying has left a bad taste im my mouth so caroling is off the table, and work isnt an option right now for me.
>>78414911
At least your cats and dogs will never leave you.You feed them. ;_;
Because I'mJewish
We get together for other holidays though
My parents are somewhere in the caribbean having their second honeymoon, I'm an only child so I'm hanging out by myself in their house.
My dad is passed out drunk in the hallway and my mom is in her phone gossiping. I don't even want to be spend Christmas with them because it'll be the same shit only we'll go to different relatives houses, watch dad get drunk, mom will get mad at him, and then we'll have an awkward car ride home. I really don't like spending Christmas with my family.
>friends?
Father hasn't been on the radar since I was 12
Mother is 400 miles away
Girlfriend went home to be with her family
I volunteered to work tomorrow for holiday pay
Im pretty fuckin dtunk tight now
>>78415013
At least you have a gf and a job right?
I can't relate to any of them except my brother who won't be there. Fuck flying within Canada.
>>78414511
But I did.
>>78414962
Are you the femanon that wanted to fuck your dad?
What's a friend
>>78415043
yeap
>>78415025
Yeah. Luckily I'm pretty emotionally stunted soI'm j8st drunk for yhe pure enjoyment of being drunk
Hope tgere's a liquor store open tomorroe becayse what I bought ttoday eas supposed to last me for tomorroe too
>>78415043
Oh, so we got Electra complex on this board too. Nice.
Sometimes I feel pretty shitty that I can't really relate to people or make new friends.
Pretty sure my girlfriend will break up with me too because of my disability to behave like a dickhead.
Why are all my /co/mrades so far away? I honestly feel you guys are the best people I know.
The city shut off my water yesterday because I haven't paid it in 3 months. I have no money to buy presents for anyone, maybe I'll just hang myself from the christmas tree.
Oh wait, I can't afford one of those either.
>>78415064
Any progress yet?
>>78414587
So your parents are deadto you
>>78414511
My brother and I are orphans, and my aunt who is like a mother to me is on the other side of the country.
My brother's girlfriend and her sister wanted them to spend the holidays "doing the couple thing", so I was basically told to stay home on Christmas eve, and come down and join them on Christmas day instead.
I was initially pissed about it, because this is my brother and I's first Chistmas together in roughly ten years since I moved back home, but we ended up seeing Star Wars together yesterday, and I still get to spend Christmas with him anyway, so I guess it doesn't bother me as much anymore.
I've got vidya to play anyway, and I'd rather be doing that than fucking around on my laptop on the girlfriend's sister's couch (plus they're kinda dicks anyway, so I'd probably be having a worse eve if I was with them right now).
Just got back from visiting my mom and her boyfriend. Got a pretty bitchin dutch oven for Christmas. Her boyfriend is one of those homeopathic fags though, which is pretty goddamn annoying because I'm only alive thanks to modern medicine right now.
>>78415109
I feel for you, but you shouldnt even think about worrying about buying presents if you havnt been able to pay your bills. Are you working?
Already did it earlier. Grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, the whole bit.
Got a nice sum of cash and a brand new Schrade knife from my grandad. He may be a crazy old Vietnam vet, but the man knows what I like.
>>78415122
Not yet and I'm being cucked as we speak. I still have my fantasies and daydreaming tho
Because we celebrate Dia de los Reyes
>>78415206
My grandad is a Korea vet
>>78414846
> They would do nothing to help, yet would at the same time insist on controlling everything. They meddled and fucked things up because they knew they would get away with it.
> Not allowed to go out with friends when I was at school. This made me social outcast and have social anxiety as a result; when I first entered junior school I was confident. They destroyed that. At 7 years old I had a reading age of 14; they turned that into a fuck huge deficit.
> Parents never ventured into the school; mum very cleverly exploited this so I got shit on for her stupid decisions.
> Taxman was more helpful to me than my parents; when I left school I did not know my National Insurance Number because they never gave it to me and my dad refused to help me set-up a bank account by helping me with ID.
> I find it hard to stand up for myself because two passive-aggressive narcisissts really fuck up your self-esteem.
> By the time I broke free of them I was and am so fucking far behind that suicide looks like a perfectly logical choice.
>>78414826
>I didn't know people "celebrated" Christmas Eve
Wel, it's not like one can set everything up during the one minute that is December 25th 12:00am.
>>78415224
Yeah? What branch? Mine was Army. Huey gunner if I remember correctly. Did two tours, then got as far away from the military as possible.
>>78415221
I wonder if Cass ever had these same sorts of thoughts about Bruce
>>78415288
She wanted to fuck him early in her solo
>>78415269
I think Army, but I'm not sure.
He never actually went to Korea, instead he flew copters around nuclear explosions in Nevada.
He became a minister when he got out. I guess staring at literal hellfire all day will do that to you.
>>78415224
Same here. Both of them were, I think, though one has passed now.
>>78415242
>I find it hard to stand up for myself because I'm a gigantic fucking pussy
Fixed. That's always how standing up for yourself works. You do it or you don't, and if you don't you're a pussy.
>>78415250
Fun fact: Polish people do.
I am not Polish btw just know that from work colleagues being Poles.
>>78415394
Poles are like super Catholic so that makes sense
>>78415224
Mine was a WW2 vet but he died this year.
>>78414774
This eggnog fucking sucks. I got the very last eggnog left, and it blows more than your mum in bed.
>>78415314
Reminds me of my dad, although he was actually deployed overseas as part of the war effort. He was deployed to Thailand during Vietnam as part of some Air Force wing that was tasked with supporting Army SF while they did what they did. Dad doesn't talk about it much, but research leads me to the conclusion that it involved blowing shit up. Lots of it.
Funny having a dad who's older than my grandfather. Although at least it's easily explained by them being on different sides of the family.
>>78415365
If you are constantly manipulated and cut-off from all sources of confidence, watch how fast your self-esteem plummets.
But you guys are my friends and my family.
>>78415307
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out everyone in the family fucked each other on the reg. Crimefighting is stressful after all.
>>78415475
I'm not paying any child support
>>78415432
>tfw when your family goes out of their way to get three jugs of eggnog, but they're all store-brand
Sometimes it's hard out there for a nogger.
>>78414511
What are you talking about? I'm on my phone at the dinner table
>>78415416
My great-grandad was in the Scottish Army in WWI. His brother was in the Black Hand
>>78415453
>tfw they've seen shit you can't comprehend and probably never will
That's why I plan to join the military if my gf and I don't work out. War seems a natural part of a man's life.
>>78415416
How old?
>>78415475
Merry Christmas, Anon.
>>78415475
>>78414511
I am literally on my phone at a family celebration right now
I enjoy talking with my family over dinner and drinks but they want to play these stupid parlor games after they eat and I fucking HATE parlor games
>>78415475
26 year old here.
GF hates me, friends have all turned into materialistic assholes driven by career.
Can confirm /co/ is my only friends and family.
>>78415529
I used to want to join the Marines, but the work our military is doing these days doesn't really appeal to me anymore. I'm signing on with LAPD once I finish college. Hopefully. Whatever you do, I hope it works out for you.
>>78415455
And that's why you're a pussy. Always blaming someone else.

I bought two cartons of this shit and it's just called Nog. It tastes like sugary milk and nutmeg only makes it worse.
>>78415521
Don't do that, anon.
>>78415587
Sheesh. Guess that explains why he died. My dad turns 80 next year. For his age, he's in excellent condition, but you never know what could happen. Hope he lasts a good while longer.

At home with family but they're old and pretty boring people ; but good people nonetheless; would rather just be napping or drinking

That's what I'm doing, except not LA since I don't live there and don't want to.

>>78415849
It's christmas Senpai.
I am. Although things aren't the same after my grandmother passed a year and a half ago. My grandfather is actually staying over at our house this Christmas Eve, which is weird. But my mom's family all lives close by, so I get to see them tomorrow.
Really, I have a lot to be thankful for. Three out of four grandparents are still alive, my parents aren't fighting as much, my sister got her own apartment finally, and I'm doing well at college (at least academically). I know a lot of people on /co/ are either poor or have troubled families or both, and even reading this stuff through the distance of the internet makes me feel sad. Even if your Christmas isn't great, I hope it's the best that it can be.
>>78414702
what in the world did boco do to become so universally hated?
>>78415849
Are you new? Literally every holiday fool, lighten up
>>78414511
I come from an abusive household and christmas were hell. I grew up hating the season, so, around this time I just drop presents at friends houses and have a meal with my abusive elder father so he wont be fully alone. And then I come home and spend the whole of christmas alone.
>>78414511
I would if I could, man.

>>78415834
Shit man, neither do I. I live in the IE, and I'd like to keep it that way. Not like I'm not in good company anyway. Very few cops live where they work. It's not healthy, and as I'm sure you can well imagine, cities in need of a substantial police presence aren't ideal places to live.
>>78414511

Being a pathetic creep, having shitty on opinions on most topics, being criminally unfunny, driving an innocent girl to suicide, take your pick.
I am, though.
I'm watching the Billy and Mandy christmas special, while my brother's discussing Frank Sinatra or something downstairs with my sister, her boyfriend, and my mum. I had a pretty long ass day, so I hit the hay early. And instead of sleeping, I ended up watching the Billy and Mandy christmas special and browsing /co/.Planning on watching either the Chowder special or the Powerpuff girls special next, then falling asleep to Adult Swim.
I hope all of you have a good Christmas, though. It sucks to be alone sometimes, especially during a time like Christmas.
>>78416117
>driving an innocent girl to suicide

We don't do shit for Christmas eve. In a few hours we're having din dins though. Too bad I have nothing to talk about and all my replies to them are so obviously forced.
I like my family but the presents thing and trying to chat with them just makes me want to run away. Also it's really hot and people get loud and annoying this time of year, I really want it to be March already.

Speaking of which, ya'll get your asses in the HL thread, I missed Halloween, I got in late this year, shit feels dead up in there, and I want to make some image macros with my fellow /co/untrymen.
I just got done wrapping my gf's Christmas presents. She's asleep right now so I just got you guys to hang with.
Merry Christmas. Here's to another year of Shitposting.
>>78416151
I'm sure he'll be back to tell you. He can't help talking about his pathetic life.
I just spent several hours with my dads boyfriends family. It was boring and the food was terrible and everyone was tired from working all day and I didn't do well in the Yankee swap. Now I'm back home and I just wish my dad's boyfriend would stop watching shitty hallmark movies.
But I did. Had my mom, stepdad, and my sister's family overits also my birthday todaywe all had dinner together and opened our presents about an hour ago because why not. I hope everyone else has a merry christmas

Because I live alone and far away from any family. Besides, /co/ is better company.

>>78417042
I'm sorry, KS. You deserve better.

No worries. It's all by my choice.
Because my family is actually dead.

Do you have any friends?
>>78417006

all that 'it's too cold for flocks outside at night in winter' bullshit is bullshit. What, you think they just locked them up in a barn for months at a time? if you're a shepherd your life is outside with the sheep. all day erry day. i mean, in shifts. Fuckers were wearing triple coats i'm sure, if it was winter, but the sheep have their own coats. husbandry didnt just shut down in the judean winter, that's the whole reason the mediterranean was such a happenin' place for so many millennia. That and the little ice age hadn't started yet.
granted, herod holding a big census in the dead of winter WOULD be kind of a dick in the ass move.
I'm with my sister because my father and his family are a headache and my mum don't get off work till 9 and also I hate my gf's family

Who can I help in the military? I've spent a lot of time with the cops in my hometown. Seems like every one of them has a story about saving somebody's life or helping somebody who needed it in some way. I enjoy the military lifestyle. I was brought up in it, and it's what I'm cut out for. But I feel that if I were to join the military, I would only be helping myself. We're completely fucking up our operations in the Middle East right now. Even if I didn't choose some rear echelon MOS away from combat, and decided to get directly involved, what good would I be doing there? And I doubt we're due for a major war any time soon. Not one that we'd have any trouble winning.
We've got real problems at home. I've seen first hand what crime does to an area, and worse, to people. The way I see it, if I want to be a part of that lifestyle, and still do some good for people, this is the way to do it.
Besides, it pays better.
>>78414511
Already did.
Christmas always makes me really uncomfortable due to not talking to my parents and everyone always talking about the presents they are getting.

>browsing 4chan during a Christmas party
*tips fedora*

*unwraps brand new fedora*

Also, Christmas Day itself is always such bullcrap. Like, we go to our grandparents' house (about 30 minutes away) at 11AM and stay there doing basically nothing until like 8PM at night. We can't even bring/use our gifts or anything of interest. I mean, shit, if it were like a 3-5 hour visit, I wouldn't even care. But it's been 6+ hours every time. Like, whyyyyyyyy????
I legit wish I could spend Christmas with my friends, to be quite fucking honest.

> herod holding a big census in the dead of winter WOULD be kind of a dick in the ass move.
I never understood the part about everybody having to go back to their home towns so the king could do a census. There must be a simpler way than making everybody go back to their hometown then count them, and why would he care about that information in the first place.
>>78414511
Everyone I know is literally hundreds of miles away. So all I can do is play video games and watch my fish slowly die and theres nothing I can do about it.
>>78416117
That sounds like Siser Fister.
>>78420441
It was total bullshit made to justify Jesus being born in Bethlehem. You're right--a census where everyone has to go back to his hometown makes no fucking sense. However the messianic prophecies said the messiah would be born in Bethlehem and be of the lineage of King David. But Jesus and his family were of Nazareth. So of course in order to make him look more legitimate as a messiah someone had to come up with the story of his parents having to go to Bethlehem, because that was Joseph's hometown, because Joseph was totally a descendant of David.
>>78414511
I am. I live with them.
And I don't want to.

That's actually kind of selfish of the gf and sis. I don't know, but if I were the gf I'd do something special for you and your bro/her bf since both of you are orphans and you're family and all that shit. I don't know, man, that irked me.
