My heart went out to the people who spent Christmas alone because they felt that no one loved them. Some of us out here are are thinking of you and hoping things get better for you.
My 25 year old Son and his partner split up a few days before Christmas, we were already out of the Country. Put a call out to the family to see if anyone could set an extra place up at dinner and NO ONE did. I come from a large family …..
Thanks... but I'm happy... again thanks.. I can eat what I want, no arguments, it's cheap, I have a remote control I actually turn off and I do what I want to do... I feel worried for families who feel they have this idea we all have to "be together".. ummm, NO, ... But what ever your idea of Christmas is! then enjoy... thanks.....
I thank you also. The only family I have left is 320 miles (each way) away. At age 69 with two cats, one is diabetic I don't feel up to making the trip especially in late December in the northeast US. In the evening Timmy, Hershey and I watched White Christmas (I have it on disc) and called it a night🎄❄️
My dad had a stroke two years ago on Christmas. During dessert. Luckily, my BIL is a cardiovascular surgeon and recognized within seconds what was happening. But believe it or not, we are all thankful for that day. Had he been alone or sleeping when that stroke happened, he might not have made it.
I'm glad he's ok. Mine had a stroke on Christmas Eve morning in 2008. We spent Christmas visiting him in the hospital while he was sedated. He was released a couple of weeks later and had a heart attack a week after that. Back in the hospital for another couple of weeks. He only lived 8 more years after that, but I'm grateful to have had those 8 more years with him. Unfortunately I was young, dumb, selfish, and had my own issues and wish I could have appreciated him more during that time, but I'm still grateful to have had him around for 8 more years.
Amen! My two kitties and I had cold fried chicken and potato salad for Christmas Dinner. They are both passed out on the bed, full and content. Merry Christmas, y'all!
Best Christmas is one where you can be yourself, at peace and eating, drinking and watching what you want with your pets for company. The rest of the year is for other people and the hell they bring
I just had such a rough Christmas- lost 2 dear friends this week, sister had emergency surgery, our neighbors house burnt down and we didn’t have enough money for one gift under the tree. So, thanks for this- it made me feel like it can’t always go as planned, life is messy and to find some humor in things. ❤
@@silvergirl7810 silver girl so you went all through that this year I’m right there with you. I can almost see you. Yeah people mess everything up except when you’re doing something and you want somebody to watch and you say watch me watch me and there’s nobody there…….
First year in 35 years we havent had at least one family member at Christmas. Just me and my husband this year and we plan to do this next year too. No stress.
Better to be alone with my cats than with unruly children who get away with murder just because it's christmas!! And people being ungrateful for their gifts.
Two very dear and precious friends passed away between the last week of October and the first week of December, this year. Holiday joy is a little more difficult to come by at the moment. Such is life. Better will get here, eventually
Dude, do you realize how many employees forget to remove those things, especially during holiday shopping season when it's super busy? I bought myself a coat because I didn't have one. The only reason I noticed the security tag was still on there was because my husband & I dropped off the stuff we'd bought there at the car because we were going into the mall & I wanted to wear my new coat, knowing it would be much colder when we left a few hours later. I took all the regular tags off and boom- security tag still on there. Had to bring it right back into the store, wait 20 more minutes in line to get it removed. I've noticed that at least half the time, they'll forget about those tags if you don't remind them when you're checking out. And if youre not used to shopping for stuff that has them or just aren't thinking about it then you won't remember to remind them. I had at least 2 other encounters while shopping this year where I had to remind the cashier to remove it because they'd forgotten. I think a lot of folks don't think about it as much anymore because we're used to shopping online a lot more.
As an adult, things I don't miss during Thanksgiving or Christmas: ❌ Being expected to spend my time, money, or gas on the road traveling for hours and hours for a single day visit ❌ Being ordered around to do chores while others sit around and socialize ❌ Having my privacy invaded with pushy, demanding questions about why I am/am not doing XYZ ❌ Having to smell cooking aromas I find repulsive and sit at the table, averting my eyes from dead animals on platters, while eating next to nothing because I'm a longterm vegetarian but everyone always just "forgets" about that ❌ Being "delegated" to clear off the table after the meal, put the food away, and do all the dishes while everyone sits around and socializes ❌ Not having enough money for a hotel and told to sleep on the floor with a blanket because everyone else is using the beds and couch but "you're young and strong" so it's OK if you're forced to sleep on a hard surface ❌ Trying to extricate yourself as quick as possible the following morning to avoid being the maid service again After my first 5 years of adulthood, I just started saying NO and stopped going. Never missed it, either. Instead, I made my own holiday traditions! ✅ Prepare my own favorite vegetarian soup in the crockpot to cook for the day ✅ Go hiking and birding the entire day at my favorite state park ✅ Eat my finished soup for dinner with my pet birds, in peace ✅ Going out for coffee/tea with my best friend on Christmas eve and having it at our homes with others friends on Christmas Much better! Best wishes to all here for better day ahead - we all deserve that ❤
That first bunch is, at best, thoughtless, if not deliberately mean. You're better off without them. PS: I always make a note if my guests have food allergies or preferences, and try to make a main dish that'd suit them. It's not that difficult!
@@pncwho Yup, I know the "pitfall foods and drinks" in terms of my friend circle. One can't eat bell peppers, no matter how they are served. She gets terrible heartburn. I and another friend are both lactose intolerant because we stopped eating dairy products (if you had the enzyme and stop consuming dairy, you lose the enzyme and it doesn't come back). Others are diabetes-aware so I pick things that are very low or no sugar to serve. To me, that's part of friendship - you know them so well, you know exactly what they can and can't eat. 🥰
Apparently, in modern times, outdoor wiring is coated in a ‘fabric’ made of soybeans. Very delicious to outdoor creatures, like rabbits etc. and very unsuitable for holiday lighting. But probably the manufacturer makes a lot of money on replacement sets.

It's Christmas Day. I just flooded my house🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ by leaving the sink tap open and no one noticed for 40 minutes .... I have NEVER done that before!
I went to visit my granddaughter on Christmas Day, for about 5 hrs, I came home to hot water running, over in the kitchen sink, of course it wasn't hot water I felt, but it had been the hot water.😢 Dreading the bill.
@@squirrel-1969 imagine that so sorry I stayed alone this year and just thought about all the other Christmases I went to…..👩🍳👨🏾🍳 let’s give a round of thanks to all the chefs, the cooks and the cleaners uppers.
@@cmtippens9209 It's exceedingly seasonal, so limited in use and likely not her style. Mom has been collecting it for 53 years so there is a LOT of it (hence why everyone is getting a full place setting out of it) and she dropped it in her daughters lap as a "gift"... Thanks mom, I hate it.
Was having chemo came home was violently sick didn't realise in the small bathroom I was leaning against the radiator and had to have an operation for a second degree burn luckily didn't have to have skin graft they thought I would have to have so not all bad 🤣🤣
Just had a cake for my son’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor. The bakery lady seemed perfectly competent to take my order. I didn’t think of checking. Our 2 gigantic cakes each stated “Congratulations Eagles Scouts!” Sounds at best like a bunch of guys hired to scout for the Philly Eagles.
7:39. So? You presumably weren't intending to cook it with the plastic on, and a few hours of roasting will kill any germs that crept in through the hole. Seriously, what is the problem? 11:29. Not sure what is going on here. So your mother is expecting you to use that china for Christmas? Fair enough. What does that have to do with your sons, their ages, or the fact that they have their own china?
7:05 Damn squirrels. You should try putting some dry chicken manure nearby. Squirrels hate it and it's almost odourless. Smearing those wires with turpentine is another option. 8:40 Old PC broke. That don't mean that it's graphic card is bad. Worth it to transfer it to the new PC.
Christmas was the last holiday my selfish drunk of a partner hadn't completely took the joy out of. Well he succeeded this year. I officially hate him and christmas.

Lat Christmas (2023) I had a stroke on Christmas Eve morning and spent 5 days in hospital. Tip: not go to hospital during the holidays, many people are off
Sliced my left pointer finger on Christmas Day. ER visit for this Christmas. My husband took my and my son put away the uncooked ham while I got patched up! Boys took over upon our return from the ER. I was hungry by the time it was served. Ate some baking pecans to hold me to dinner. They had been snacking on sausage and cheese all morning.
I got emotionally blackmailed into puppy-sitting a little sweetheart who was really clingy due to insecurity over the strange place. Didn't notice him right behind me and fell over him and broke my arm quite badly. (He is fine) Christmas is cancelled due to extreme pain and self pity! Puppy is still cute though.
Sadly I can commiserate with the folks who got sick over Christmas. Husband and I got a visit from "Miss Rona" a couple of weeks ago. Didn't send out cards, didn't bake any cookies, didn't pick up the house before the onslaught of stuff. He's still coughing and my eyes are still red. Norovirus is also horrible any time of the year. Stay well in 2025!
Good dishes, like Spode, need to be hand washed. No one wants to do that, including me (78F). My children and their spouses didn’t want the china we carefully shipped from Ireland to Illinois in the 1970s. I sold it and was glad of the money. I plan to have the sterling silver tableware melted down. I’ll enjoy that money too!
On December 19th my beloved and I were in a car accident (the person ran us off the road because he had poached a deer and was driving like hell so he wouldn't get caught), resulting with us rolling and flipping her SUV into a cornfield. I ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Then on the 20th she was taken off of life support...
So many questions! I would like to know what kind of parent blames their children for pneumonia? It's probably someone who always blames others for stuff. Also, the rule for fresh meat (re:filets) is 3 days in the fridge and they have to be cooked within that 72 hours window), begging the question: how long were the steaks sitting in the fridge? So many security tags left on stuff, too. Merry Christmas, kids!
@StillxAvoidingxTomorrow 🥺 well I guess on the bright side you all had company. I and my family were so sad we couldn't be together this year. But thankfully there are 12 days of Christmas to celebrate.
Mom of the 16yr old who cooked. You have the emotional maturity of a toddler. Because YOU didn't like your Christmas gift you decided to ruin Christmas for your kids. SHAME ON YOU! I bet you'll wonder why they don't talk to you anymore when they're out of the house.
i feel for the person who worked Christmas in the ICU and the family didn't bother to save them a plate from the feast, as promised. and that Amazon microwave...ewwwww!
I've got a great one! 2 days before Christmas I was cutting a sweet potato and the knife slipped cutting the outer aspect of my left hand creating a huge, deep flap. 8 stitches later I thought at least it isn't my right hand. Cue Christmas Eve dinner, as I was removing a very large, made from scratch, lasagna. The bottom collapsed the pan flipped face down on the oven door and floor, lol. Scooped up what was on the door and called it lasagna casserole😂😂😂
I didn't cut myself but apparently all the cleaning & prep work were so hard on my hands that about 2 days before Christmas, I was in pain and couldn't touch anything because the skin on my thumbs and first 2 fingers of each hand all have multiple splits- like a bunch of quarter & half inch, very deep small cuts on my fingertips. My genius self had decided we were doing a shrimp boil this year. I slept those first 2 nights with my fingers coated in Neosporin & wrapped, trying to get it to heal but no dice. So yesterday I had to rewrap everything because they'd just gotten worse and wear gloves. Luckily I craft with resin & need tight fitting latex or nitrile gloves so I have a whole box of really good ones but when your fingertips are all wrapped up under the latex, it makes handling anything extremely difficult. I couldn't feel anything or hold anything right. Plus I was just sick anyway. So I ended up boiling the shrimp by itself- the easiest part- and the sides were whatever I'd prepared beforehand & the meat & cheese my husband cut up for the day. No one went hungry at least.
When cooking/baking with foil pans & the contents will be heavy... ALWAYS!!!!!! Use DOUBLE or TRIPLE foil pans!!!!!! Example...... lasagna, turkey, roasts ........
@@deedk So sorry.... If I am down to using my last foil pan, I put it on a jellyroll pan with 1" sides.... Good luck with future kitchen adventures.....
@raallen1468 we survived! Just laughed it off as the holiday misadventure, lol. One year our microwave went out the morning of our 30-40 people gathering, that was a quick trip to Walmart where they only had countertop microwaves so I had to cook around a big box! Something every year, makes for laughs.
wife stopped celebrating christmas, as too many sad deaths, couple murders, and tragedies occurred during the last weeks of December. yesterday daughter told her that SIL has lung cancer. merry xmas, all.
Sorry but the security tags not being removed would have caused the alarms at the door to go off so they are removed at checkout,so I don’t think your Dad “bought” them somehow 😂🤣🧑🏻🎄
My heart went out to the people who spent Christmas alone because they felt that no one loved them. Some of us out here are are thinking of you and hoping things get better for you.

Also, the rule for fresh meat (re:filets) is 3 days in the fridge and they have to be cooked within that 72 hours window), begging the question: how long were the steaks sitting in the fridge? So many security tags left on stuff, too. Merry Christmas, kids!
Yesterday found out i had covid for the THIRD time! Seems to hit me every two years
Yeah I have something too
Same here! Entire household got it Christmas Eve :/
Vaccinated?
@StillxAvoidingxTomorrow 🥺 well I guess on the bright side you all had company. I and my family were so sad we couldn't be together this year. But thankfully there are 12 days of Christmas to celebrate.
Proof that the vax is a placebo.
9:42 how the ehck did they do that to the wheel rim?
What on earth would be leaking from a tree stand?
Water….
Water. Keeps it green longer so needles don't shed.

Mom of the 16yr old who cooked. You have the emotional maturity of a toddler. Because YOU didn't like your Christmas gift you decided to ruin Christmas for your kids. SHAME ON YOU! I bet you'll wonder why they don't talk to you anymore when they're out of the house.
i feel for the person who worked Christmas in the ICU and the family didn't bother to save them a plate from the feast, as promised. and that Amazon microwave...ewwwww!
Yup the first one. Sick in bed today on Christmas Day with flu or covid or something
I've got a great one! 2 days before Christmas I was cutting a sweet potato and the knife slipped cutting the outer aspect of my left hand creating a huge, deep flap. 8 stitches later I thought at least it isn't my right hand. Cue Christmas Eve dinner, as I was removing a very large, made from scratch, lasagna. The bottom collapsed the pan flipped face down on the oven door and floor, lol. Scooped up what was on the door and called it lasagna casserole😂😂😂
I didn't cut myself but apparently all the cleaning & prep work were so hard on my hands that about 2 days before Christmas, I was in pain and couldn't touch anything because the skin on my thumbs and first 2 fingers of each hand all have multiple splits- like a bunch of quarter & half inch, very deep small cuts on my fingertips. My genius self had decided we were doing a shrimp boil this year. I slept those first 2 nights with my fingers coated in Neosporin & wrapped, trying to get it to heal but no dice. So yesterday I had to rewrap everything because they'd just gotten worse and wear gloves. Luckily I craft with resin & need tight fitting latex or nitrile gloves so I have a whole box of really good ones but when your fingertips are all wrapped up under the latex, it makes handling anything extremely difficult. I couldn't feel anything or hold anything right. Plus I was just sick anyway. So I ended up boiling the shrimp by itself- the easiest part- and the sides were whatever I'd prepared beforehand & the meat & cheese my husband cut up for the day. No one went hungry at least.
When cooking/baking with foil pans & the contents will be heavy...
ALWAYS!!!!!! Use DOUBLE or TRIPLE foil pans!!!!!!
Example...... lasagna, turkey, roasts ........
@raallen1468 I usually put it on a cookie sheet but in the interests of space I skipped it, ugh!
@@deedk So sorry.... If I am down to using my last foil pan, I put it on a jellyroll pan with 1" sides.... Good luck with future kitchen adventures.....
@raallen1468 we survived! Just laughed it off as the holiday misadventure, lol. One year our microwave went out the morning of our 30-40 people gathering, that was a quick trip to Walmart where they only had countertop microwaves so I had to cook around a big box! Something every year, makes for laughs.
Just dumb
wife stopped celebrating christmas, as too many sad deaths, couple murders, and tragedies occurred during the last weeks of December. yesterday daughter told her that SIL has lung cancer. merry xmas, all.
🥺🥺🥺😭💔
So sorry.😞
Husband diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two weeks ago. Know your pain. X
@@linda3589 I'm truly sorry. Sending caring love ❤️
She's missing the point
Sorry but the security tags not being removed would have caused the alarms at the door to go off so they are removed at checkout,so I don’t think your Dad “bought” them somehow 😂🤣🧑🏻🎄
