Who else poor? All the commercials of happy families celebrating Christmas together kill me inside bit by bit.

I'm quite the opposite. I'm getting an Xbox one for Christmas :)
Maybe you should get a job, poorfag.

I really can't afford much, maybe I'll get some clothes I really need for the winter and a ps4 game or something. I got 8k euros in savings and no job, parents not really supporting me much either.
I'm spending the holidays with my parents and family and I hoped I'd be able to buy them all something this year but I can't unfortunately.
I wanted to get my mom a laptop because I bought my dad one last year, and maybe a pair of shoes for my brother. Instead my dad bought me an oven (which wasn't cheap) and I got no plans to buy them anything.

Christmas is just materialism.
I like what Christmas stands for but I don't the obligation to partake or be evil, I simply don't have the means to give you gifts, I would give the shirt off my back to benefit the disadvantaged, you paint me as the opposite of what I strive to be, I would never take from the poor, only these I see as greedy, though their greed is a fundamental part of capitalism

I'm not a poorfag but I live like one. Spending money makes me feel uncomfortable desu senpai
Just had a big fight with my family about Christmas
>Family talking about going to visit more family for Christmas
>I act ambiguous about the idea
>Decide to tell them I really don't feel like it this year and am completely fine with them going without me
>"what the hell you have to come why anon"
>Kindly try to explain that I just have some stuff going on and not to worry
>They keep treating me like I don't have an excuse to despite being an adult
>Finally tell them I just don't fucking feel like dealing with everyone and would rather take it easy while I have the time off
>They start freaking out on me and now are treating it like I some evil asshole
>Really just feel depressed as fuck
>Pretty sure I have some serious health problems that need to be addressed
>Look like shit no matter how much I sleep and need to get my shit under control
>Can't get a job no matter how much I apply any where
>No real friends
>If I went I would just hear about how much success everyone is having
>People asking where my girlfriend is and praising my everyone else my age in the family and how I should be more like them
>Have to bullshit so I wouldn't have to seem so pathetic and would just feel worse because of it
>Would rather just get drunk and play vidya while I have a chance to not worry about others expectations

pretty much know that feel. parents will treat you like a child while you're still a dependent. your primary goal should be getting out of that house
At least we only have less than a week before Consumerism Day is finally over for another year.
>not on speaking terms with my family
>poor, only get by because I steal most of my entertainment
>tfw another Christmas spent alone eating canned ravioli and drinking $1 2L bottles of soda
