I haven't been active on Voltra for a couple of months,
I didn't intend to neglect this site. Life / Depression kind of kept me away.
(I'm also still newish to this site >.<')

Anyway, how are you? How has life?

@Wisp: Welcome hun <3

I'm also a vetran on other sites. Voltra is quite refreshing compared with those
@Saeyra: So so true.
-----
@Sabrina: That's ok ^^
-----
@Alyssya: I think my step-mother has said something to that effect, but again those are usually busy times to shop and I really can't handle that.
I've never seen someone do a more traditional Christmas with more traditional winter decore like you mentioned, Since I do live in Australia. But it sounds incredibly beautiful <3
That sounds beautiful, You should definitely do that :D
(Honestly, I'm bad at wrapping presents... and I don't have the patience for it, and every year I regret the shapes I have to wrap lol)
-----
@Selikait: I can see the pros and cons of doing it that way, but it's an interesting idea :)

Wouldn't it be easier to do a secret santa type thing (aside from the anonymous part) where you each get a person who will be attending and you buy a gift for them. Then everyone is guaranteed a gift. You could even set a budget?

@Tuijp: I have to admit, I didn't realize you were referring to the ice-cream >.<'
Is there anyone you could spend the holidays with?

How old do you think you were when you noticed?
I think I was quite oblivious until I was around 15.

(Thank you for moving this~)

@sunny: That's sad that people tend to forget, but people do get obsessed with Christmas i guess.

(I also have a niece who's birthday is the 5th of December, my older sister the 9th, my mother the 18th then my little brother which I mentioned and all rounded off with another brothers birthday on the 4th of January. I couldn't forget birthdays even if I tried)
--------
@xirin: Presents were also a plus, especially as a kid as you tend not to notice fighting and mortality.
--------
@SirLionelNigelConrad: I feel you hit the nail over the head with that statement. Honestly, it's just going to get worse rather then better.

I don't think it's as bad as that, but I do feel like it's all about the presents (Especially to the millennials) rather then the spirit of Christmas.
People also tend to get wrapped up in there own bubbles, all about the outcome not the journey kind of thing.
--------
@Saeyra: It's nice to see we appreciate family more the older we get <3
--------
@Sabrina: I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, I can't imagine how hard going through that is, or how hard these holidays will be.
(Maybe think of it like she handed you the Baton and would like you to make Christmas special -in your own way- for your children and yourself?)
--------
@Mousy: I fully understand how frustrating that is. I'm in a similar situation with my older sister and it's not just in regards to Christmas, it's birthdays too. She purchases extravagant things our younger brothers and I'll just get them something they need rather then want (and within my budget) and compared to the two gifts, mine will end up looking pathetic.

It's Definitely a good idea to just shrug comments like that off. You know better then anyone what your son needs and no-one else really should judge you on that.
Your son is going to grow up appreciating what he gets ^^

So cute! I can imagine you'll be watching it quite a few times over the holidays then?
--------
@Millet: Wait, what? Who creates a List like that? That's incredibly rude, Not everyone has the same finances.
People like that, just tell them you only buy gifts for Children.

...So many people who think they're "Entitled" in the world... -sigh-
--------
@Selikait: How did you try to modify it? What went wrong?

How do you think your family would feel if you told them how you felt?
--------
@Unicorn: Do you think it was just because you were getting older that it just didn't seem the same?
--------
@Rayon Declaire: Sounds like your Grandmother was also the glue to your family?
You and your Husband can start your own Christmas traditions void of the chaos ^^
--------
@Alyssya: That sounds like a lovely and peaceful Christmas, I'd look forward to Christmas if that was how my family spent it.

Every year things become more pricey, or is that just me?
(Even Christmas decorations...)

I prefer shopping early, because it gets incredibly busy the closer to Christmas and the last time I went to a crazy busy shop people were incredibly rude, I was trapped in a crowded Isle and was on the verge of a panic-attack.

I don't think everyone appreciates home-made gifts. But to me, they're the best kind of gift <3
------
@Tuijp: It must have been nice growing up with such a large family? At least while it lasted?

I hope you have a great Nazi-Hunting holiday ^^ (It could be your new tradition with your friends)

@sunny: Maybe that's just what I'm neglecting to face, the whole growing up thing. Idk.
When is your birthday? Is it Christmas day? That's pretty cool to have it around Christmas :D
(My youngest brother, his birthday is the 23rd of Dec and he thinks it's the coolest thing).

---------
(It occurred to me this might be better in the Serious Talk Forum, my bad)

@Saeyra: I could spend an eternity looking through buildings like that, just imagine how long they took to build.
So beautiful <3
To me, every year there is more arguments, less family, more stress and I find I'm not able to enjoy it like I use to.
I put on an act for family (mainly my younger brothers).

To me, Christmas meant family.
I'm not just referring to family passing away, but to family whom have moved away or family that decided to avoid the chaos and spend it with friends.

I guess all the stress and being depressed around Christmas is wearing me down.
I don't want to end up a Grinch for when I have kids :(


What about you?
(On a side note, do you have any family traditions around Christmas?)

If you don't celebrate Christmas, what do you look forward to this time of year? Do you have any other traditions?

Taken Saturday ~

Snap-chatting, obviously!
This doesn't do my crooked smile justice
Posted in Holidays coming up with loved ones gone? Posted 5 years ago
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother -hugs-

I don't think I fully adjusted to Christmas without my grandmother and she passed away over 10 years ago. It was also her holiday :(
But more then anything, I've had family move away and an older sister who would rather spend it with a friend then with her family. (Which means I don't get to see my two nieces either).

Honestly, I don't think I cope with it. I tend not to enjoy Christmas like I use too, I tend to put on an act because I have younger brothers who love it.

@Sabrina: You're no-longer nude, so that's a plus ~

I welcomed you when I replied to you on my thread, but I wanted to ask if you minded if I added you? We can go through this newbie thing together
Posted in -A Newbie has appeared- Posted 5 years ago
@Saeyra: Sounds so beautiful!
Do the pictures of Budapest do it justice?

@Selikait: If I don't see it feel free to mention me so I can look <3

@Hachi: You really should, At least try to finish / re-watch Blue exorcist ^^ ( Do you watch netflix? I also have a backlog of things I've been meaning to watch on there xD )

That's one I've been meaning to watch but never quite got around to it. I actually don't know much about it tbh, but it seems quite popular.
Jojo's? Not sure I know of that one.

Thanks! I'm always going to think of it as Macadamia xD (Did you make that up, or something you heard? either way it's hilarious)

That's great to know ^^

@Sabrina: Thank you Sabrina <3 (Love that name btw) also welcome <3
