Holidays

As I've gotten older, the holidays have lost much of their meaning. I've joined groups that feel the same way and we do other things around holiday time. For example, I always go sailing on New Year's Day.

Happiness is sourced internally, not collected from another. Take time for introspection on what is actually missing from your life. Introspection is important for your long-term happiness.

Invest one year into yourself for self-discovery, renovation and revitalization. Find things that you've always wanted to do, learn and experience and enjoy those things for a year. Develop your skills and knowledge in these things (rock climbing, playing a musical instrument, billiards, etc) and you'll find yourself making more time for them. If you do that well, you’ll have the foundation for a lifetime of happiness.

I've been there for years as I want nothing to do with my family such as it is. They're days off which is nice and I buy myself things for Christmas.

How is that pathetic? Who gives a fuck what other people think on how you spend your time. This is MGTOW. It depends on who you are. Holiday is the best time to play video games and do whatever you want alone. Albeit, I don't drink or smoke. The more friends you have, the more expectations they have of you. If you got a wife/girlfriend, they would want you to buy them gifts. I'm busy enough as it is, so I'd rather spend the Holidays alone to enjoy it.

I spent the last 10 new years on new years playing video games. It was great. Went to a party this year and spent the whole time wishing i was playing video games on my own.

Celebrate the way you want to. :)

With all respect to Christian brothers, I'm not religious so I don't have a connection with Christmas. But aside of being it a religious holiday IMO it's mostly a societal "enforced" period in which you must be happy, be with families or friends. All commercially squeezed out. Fuck that. I don't need "holidays" for any of said experiences. Same goes for all those imposed "happy days and celebrations."

You celebrate your own way, for instance I don’t really celebrate New Years on the first, I celebrate it on the 4th of January the date I had brain surgery that possibly saved my life and definatly improved it! That was the start of my new, better life and a fucking good year for me, so now New Years for me is January 4th
