Hey @[email protected] - did you find anyone else to hang out with?

Hey @[email protected] - what are your thoughts about Christmas on this fine day?

Hey @[email protected] - you said you'd be around today, what are you up to?

Personally, I might make a big pot of spaghetti later on. My cousin said they might pass by at some point but no guarantees. If I don't find anyone to talk to online, I'll probably just watch some free movies and game.

Going to see my family, hopefully for the last Christmas. I'm prone to verbal shutdowns, so every holiday, everyone just gets to say whatever they want right in front of my gay ass.

I only keep showing up for the kids, but I think next year I'll try to make separate plans with them, like picking a weekend to bake cookies or shop for their friends.

Christmas is toxic. When I was a kid, New Years was the bigger deal. I think because we didn't have a lot of money to spend on presents and for New Years people would just make little bonfires in the streets and throw coins. (this was in Latin America)
