My partner's mom started a big fight and moved out unexpectedly, so surprisingly well
My Christmas gift is an extra 500 sq ft of usable space
Home gym here I come!

your extra 500 sq get is almost the size of the house i live in lol
taking the Christmas tree down did wonders for my sanity
found out my mom has cancer so it was unquestionably the worst christmas ever
Fuck, so sorry to hear that. I wish her a tolerable experience and a speedy recovery, best of luck. We love you here, femboy stalin
I successfully avoided my family, ended up at a friends family Christmas and still had my normal Christmas panic attack. I dislike this holiday lol
it was good, my sister is visiting from Chile so everything is good, i ate pozole for like 2 days so that was good too
I also dress my old cat, Grinchifuz pic
I had to work and got sick lmao.
Not bad. No drama, ate a lot of food, got a couple good gifts, hung out with my sister's dog.
sick 🤧 fuck them kids, walking disease factories
Took the pups to visit my folks in the suburbs. After that, went to a big Korean market back in the city and got shit to make pho + some various snacks. It was a good day.
It was good, my kid got to meet her whole extended family for the first time, everyone doted on her.
Not a good one, my dad just didn't come over and my grandma was a little bit sick so she also didn't come too. The good part is that I ate a ton of lasagna and started a lot of games, mom's lasagna is god tier.
Also, it's summer here and I'm basically melting everyday, we only got one fan right now and our state is running out of water. The recently privatized water company is doing a shit job as expected and lots of people on my city have no water and sometimes no electricity too.
Threw something together at the last minute with friends with no local family. Pros: friends, food, magic mushrooms. Cons: catching cold.
I get vaxed to high hell for the holidays getting sick feels inevitable without it
for some reason im scared of the new year
However I personally consider this the halfway point between winter and spring, so im natually excited for spring to arrive
But to answer the question (sorry that didn’t answer it) Christmas was awesome, no major drama, I could actually relax
For me personally, not terrible I guess. I didn't have to go to Christmas eve service because I had to stay home and cook, which was nice. For the family as a whole, possibly the worst anyone can remember.

My brother-in-law's dad, who seemed perfectly healthy less than a year ago, on Christmas day was at the point where the only discussion was about palliative care, but later in the evening went into renal failure and passed in the middle of the night.
My other sister's side brought the flu with them. Almost everyone is in some stage of sick, I'm on my second day of taking tamiflu and am in bed with a fever. With both of those things going on, the larger family Christmas was canceled day-of.
On a much smaller side of the bad things, my sister's washing machine broke on Christmas Eve, so we're doing laundry for 13 sick people with one residential washer-dryer set.
So bad bad vibes all around.
New bad news (CW: Death/Self Harm)

Just heard an extended family member who was suicidal was shot and killed by cops last night.

Got really sick and had to go in for surgery, not the worst holiday season ever though.
Really stressful. Glad it's over lol.
spent it drinking and being mentally ill. Lost a close friend of mine, or at least the shoe dropped that it did. It was not a good time
Pretty normal Christmas with my parents. I learned my absolute piece of shit sister is moving back into the area and has been "reconciling" with my parents. I am not happy.
Hung out with my dog and did really nothing else related to Christmas. Not good, not bad, but it was a little lonely. Basically like any other day.
