Anybody Else kinda hate Christmas

I actually don't know when Christmas is :/
I mean here in Serbia people celebrate all sort of things, i am not sure when the Christmas thing is..
All i know is that New Years eve rockz, everyone here is drunk, high, tripping.. and i will be drunk, high and tripping too.. so.. 2009 FTW

I feel the same way. I guess as we get older, the novelty wears off. This year Wal Mart was putting out Christmas stuff on Oct. 1....LOL... I may never go back there. I would much rather spend some time with friends and family, have a good meal and just enjoy life. Screw all the retail buying frenzies. It is just ridiculuos...

Mad,

Let me first start off by saying that I am terribly sorry about your illness. It sounds as if this one isn't necessarily life threatening (I'm sure it can be) which is a positive as I'm sure we all know others who weren't as fortunate.

I owe you an apology. I semi-jokingly (and selfishly) have been going on and on about a FREE $19 second license deal which to me (although I make no money online yet) is a drop in the bucket for what your software can do. I paid full price for my first copy and have often encouraged others to do so too as it is currently the best tool that I have in my arsenal. It's worth it! So, please accept my apology for that.

I can relate with your feelings around Christmastime. I worked in retail (mostly Best Buy) for nine years and close to the end I really got to where I hated Christmas. A season that should have been filled with magic and joy really became more about pissed off parent's standing outside of the store bitching me out because I wouldn't let them come in fifteen minutes after close on Christmas Eve (although my employee's had families to go home to as well). I saw people fight over the last $20 VCR, had employee's spit on, was physically threatened - this time of year really does bring out the bad in a lot of people. I am thankful that I got out of retail.

In my house, simply put - Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ. I know it's not that for everyone, especially a number of people on this forum but when I read about all of the crap that's going on today, it can be a miserable existence without the hope that my faith brings.

I'm not here to engage in a theological debate, just to offer an apology and some encouragement. I will pray for your cancer and hope that your heart is moved this holiday season - still one day left .

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hey Madinaz,

Like to say sorry to hear, i know at times it can sound annoying. I lost a grandfather a couple of years back to cancer.

He never even told anyone because he didn't want everyone to worry and start treating him differently. It took me a while to figure out that he just didn't want all the sympathy. He just wanted us to be strong and realize he was still grandpa.

Looks to me you seem to do that. You're a great asset to BHW and consider all that have benefited from your strength and willingness to share.

That's one of the reasons i joined BHW. Because i noticed so many people willing to open up and share their ideas and triumphs.

I'll be the first to admit as a newbie, you get sidetracked and just want to consume as much as you can because you just can't believe it's there. I've learned alot here.

I only hope to be more like you as i continue here.

Hey Madinaz,

My aunt cured her colon cancer doing two things and she was pretty far gone, doctors said she had 4 months max. She has been alive for 4 years now.

Two things...

Flor Essence
Bio-mat

Sounds funky I know, but Flor Essence has been helping people with cancer for a while and I know it works. The bio-mat is like an infared sauna without the actual sauna. Can literally kill cancer cells while rejuvenating healthy ones.

Orrrr....

I know of a guy that had hepatitis (same type of cells) and cured it by going to get ozone therapy over in Germany. Naturally its banned in the US because it works and its cheap. But them Germans have been using it effectively for a whole host of stuff including cancer. Most if not all cancer cells can't survive in a hyper-oxygenated body.

Another guy over in Italy is curing cancer with sodium bicarbonate, documented cases of tumors disappearing in days.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know cancer isn't final you can cure it without killing yourself more through radiation or any of that bs.

HIT ME UP MAN!!! Lets talk.

Sounds like quackery but I know many people that have cured their cancer with no side effects like almost all conventional treatments offered in the U.S.

sorry to hear about the cancer ...

I only like the Christmas because is when my family are together ...

When I feel bad/depressed I watch a lot of films, series, read books (self help).. and believe, it really help ... i forgot my problems ...

In the past you have helped people to make money and God is watching all your sincere good efforts.. don't worry cancer will disappear just like that..

Also I don't Celebrate Christmas.. it's exam time for me and gotta study

I believe everyday should be lived as if it were Christmas

And I was at Walmart 2 days ago.

They had an entire section all for Valentines day with candy and everything. Such marketing gimmicks it makes me sick.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation madinaz. My wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer a year ago and underwent a total hysterectomy & all the other BS. She was 25 at the time. It was really hard on both of us.

I hope you can find some really good docs in your area, and if there is anything I can do, let me know.

Crimbo is kind of a bummer sometimes. It's the one time of year that people should really forget about all the material bullshit and just be happy & care for each other. But it always ends up being about expensive presents, fighting with family, and other crap. It is a real downer sometimes, or at least it is for me.

I know what you mean about people wanting more and more. I've seen more stupid threads posted by time only (old accounts) Jr. VIPs lately (omg how do I get google to spider my site, what's a ping, how do I make a link) that make me want to pull out my hair. Not that I know it all, but most of them could be answered with a quick search here or at G. Not that all Jr. VIPs suck (most of you rock), but it seems like there are an awful lot of n00bs with the title now.

I've seen all the threads you've posted about MNF & other things and can only imagine how much begging you get. Kinda makes you a rock star around here, but I can see it getting tiresome. You could always just start deleting them and try and keep some space from it.

Try and keep your energy up man & at least the Christmas stuff will be over in a couple days.

Lol... I don't celebrate christmas... and going out only makes me really depressed with so many children wanting expensive gifts they will never have... Last night I did and there was a huge tree on the mall with orphans letters to santa and you could pick any to buy a gift. But most of them wanted super expensive stuff like last generation mp3 players and eletronic stuff... I wish I could buy something.

Sorry to hear that mad but 75% is pretty good odds, I'm sure you'll do fine. It's amazing what the mind can do if you believe.

At the start of this month i thought this going to be my best Christmas,
but then cl fucked me up and i wasnt diversified.
so it turned into my worst Christmas.

anyway hope u get cured buddy.

once you get past the crass commercialism, excessive greed, and the (phony)
"good will", there really isn't very much left. if you look up the origin you see
that it's actually the winter solstice that's being celebrated.

Christmas is for kids. Only thing that seems to make me happy around this time is remembering how i had fun Christmastime in the childhood years. So when I see kids enjoying the holidays makes me feel good.

Christmas is just another day for me. I don't celebrate it.

I hear ya mad. I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. Actually i'm sure you've been hearing that alot lately so I won't do it to you. I myself have been this way for the last 3 years. It seems like my christmas spirit is completely absent now. Just another day to me. The only thing keeping me running on fumes is my 4 year old girl. Watching her face as she opens her gifts is the only joy I look forward to. Other than that, i'm focused on 2009 as 2008 has been the most stressful year i've had. This is a really great community and I hope to contribute one day.

I'm with you guys on this. Christmas sucks. Totally. I won't see my daughter until Saturday, and I'm sure she'll be bringing her Nintendo Wii that "Santa" gave her for Christmas. Seeing her enjoy that will be my Christmas present.

Well, as for cancer, my grandma is officially a cancer survivor, and she had it in her upper 60s and is not at all active. I hope the best for you...don't know anything else to say about it.

I used to love christmas when I was younger, but this year I seem so unexcited. I like being off from school but hate being at home putting up with my family...guess as much as I hate school I love it. On top of that, my dad just sorta got laid off from the job he's had since 1987 (and hated every minute of it), so there's tons of uncertainty right now. I could make him really good income if he'd invest just a tiny percentage of his money in my online ventures, but of course, everyone know that you don't get something for nothing and trying to make money online is just chasing rainbows. Guess I'll have to go back to the original plan of getting my own money to invest and eventually become very rich for a young age (I have a plan finally, just got to get the quick money, which I also have a plan for) while my dad can slave away at either a cancer causing factory, or if it goes/went out, which is very likely, become a truck driver.

i f#cking hate christmas,
its just a bunch of hypocrisy, you don`t like who i am or what i do? then don`t pretend that you do just cause its the hollidays.

i only visit my aunt, she helped me trough some tough years, and she really loves it when i visit her on the hollydays, i`ll go there for 2 hours just to make her happy. and for the rest i watch some manga and make some money or something. on the 26th i party my brains out and just get uber drunk. there`s a big party every year in an old castle called "angels and bitches", very loud techno (schranz actualy) and to much hot babes to handle.
that has been my x-mas for the last 5 years.

last year and the year before, i just dumped my girlfriend with her parents for 3 days and did my own thing.
must be some childhood isues or something, but i really hate the december month just because of this so called hollyday.

just stuffing your face all day. just think off al those people who can`t do stuff like that and are going hungry, or litle girls in asia who have to work 16 hour shifts, or even worse, when we all are thinking all the misery stops for these 2 days.

well that was my little frustration on this topic, i could gop on for hours, but i`ll stop here.

also madinaz, i`m sorry to hear about your cancer, hope all works out for the best.
be strong and you will be amazed what your body can overcome!!

Hey madinaz, I didn't know you had cancer and it's sad to hear you found it out just before the holidays...you've helped me with mnf, your input on bhw and I really appreciate it, seriously...stay strong bro!...

I don't enjoy Christmas season till Christmas day...I like to watch my daughter (she's 3) and other young nieces and nephews enjoy the gifts while having my family around...In my opinion, Christmas isn't about how you feel, why other people aren't making you feel great, shopping, eating, etc...

It's about what you can do for another individual to brighten their life from the bottom of your heart...Although we can't change the rest of the world in one day, you can change yourself and your ill attitude for just one day, if you choose to...

as far as everyone bitching about how much hatred and animosity you have towards the holiday...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
