I think anything you end up doing is good just because it would be different from a christmas you're used to. i don't know how traditions became so significant that a day like christmas is a failure without them. traditions blur memory; what's going to stick out in your mind if it's always the same thing? I say be yourself on xmas and cultivate a charitable or christmasey attitude the rest of the year. I don't know why we're supposed to feel a certain way at a certain time of year, and a better inquiry might be 'how does one make every day of the week as exciting and relishable as a holiday?'
burnable Reviewed by burnable on . I need some serious help with my christmas spirit I just moved to New Zealand and its Christmas eve today (we're a day ahead). All my family is back in the U.S. all my amigos are just doing personal family stuff, and its fucking hot, ive been sweating on my porch all afternoon smoking a bowl and thinking about how nonchristmasy I feel. Any advice for what I should do for christmas day while everyone else is with family? Rating: 5
