Holiday
The Magic of Christmas
Of all the times of the year to break up, Valentine's Day was undoubtably the worst. Coming a close second, however, was right before Christmas. Tis the season when everyone is scrambling to finish their workload before the shut-down, all you wanted to do was curl up on the couch and mope over a tub of ice-cream, and you kept getting messages from family asking whether your new ex- would be joining you for the holiday. Didn't really put you in the mood of holiday cheer, peace, and goodwill toward men.

An Alone Christmas Morning
I sat on the counter with a warm dim light shining on my face, and a bunch of Christmas lights and Christmas decorations surrounding me. Watching through my window the snow fall from the sky, I look at the fireplace, once again only one stocking above the fireplace. I take a sip of my coffee as I close my eyes and wonder what a christmas would be like with a partner or a family. It must feel nice right? I place the mug in the sink and decided to shower and thought about working out, but I couldn't because mostly everything is closed on Christmas... even the gym. How stupid... a holiday that's mainly based off religion causes everything around you to change and not be able to go anywhere. I mean don't get me wrong, I clearly fell for the trap because take a look around my house. There are atleast 10 Santas around every corner. Of course I didn't buy any of these all of my family memebers sent me these as an anual-check-up-on-me. Always sent in a big box wrapped in Christmas paper and big red bow on top. And can't forget the letters with the same phrases reused every year, "We miss you so much" "We hope you feel better soon!" "You're welcome to visit anytime!".

Hallowthankmas
Jeremy blinked, wondering if he'd heard correctly. "Halla-who-da-whatnow?" Jasper, his best friends since they were crawling, groaned. "Hallowthankmas. That bastard time of year where you don't get to breathe between being bombarded with corporations trying to sell themed junk you only need once per year, celebration preparations, Hallmark movies that are the same plot with different window dressing, and attempting to juggle conflicting family commitments without starting a family feud."
