How do you anons handle the holidays? Any stories or memories you care to share? As for me, I aim for an extra comfy day every time a holiday comes because if I achieve this I will remember the day forever. Many things can be stressful, so I try not to stress myself out. Last year, I remember getting off work early for work and then being sick on new years eve and new years day.

I remember being like 14-15, sitting in front of my shitty laptop playing a video game I got for Christmas and eating chocolate. I looked up from my laptop, heard my mom washing dishes in the kitchen while I stared at Christmas lights in my window. I thought they looked beautiful, and I thought about how I wouldn't have to go to school for another week or so. I thought about how great it was that I had all that free time and I thought about how great the Christmas season is.
Simple times, back then.

I used to not be too fond of the holidays but I've had a massive mental glow up this year and I'm much more positive around these sorts of times.
The whole world seems to have forgotten about what these events are supposed to be about. Everybody is too occupied with politics or whatever other bullshit makes them unhappy. Not to say those aren't valid reasons, but they get so caught up in their misery that they forget about what life is about.
It's about living. You can't live if you're miserable, you're simply a corpse walking.

New year's depresses me but I think i made that same post last year. Still, I don't really get how new year's can be a time to celebrate other than the arbitrary holiday status and parties. Nothing about the passing of a year makes me think about anything but self reflection. I'm not usually a depressed person like described in >>7 but the time of year just brings it out of me. I got no problem with christmas though. I love it

>Nothing about the passing of a year makes me think about anything but self reflection
Isn't that the whole point of this holiday? The "Another year ahs passed, do I have any plans or hopes for the future? Did I do the things I wanted this year? Have I changed as a person?" and stuff like that

Exactly. It should not be a reason to worry, it should be a reason to improve.

If it were more than once a year, it wouldn't feel so special. Can't have your cake and eat it too. At least we got groundhog day tomorrow. Should be fun, like a mini 22'sday

Very true. I wouldn't change that. I look forward to December every year.

The way I am treated throughout the year has a lot to do with it. If my family and peers treated me better the extra effort during Chrims wouldn't feel hollow.

What do people do on halloween? do they go to parties or fairs or haunted houses? for me i actually dress up in elaborate costumes (sometimes i'll carry a bag of candy or stuff like flashlights to hand out to kids, people like it whne i do that even tough if i was a parent i'd be spooked but whatever) and skulk around and sometimes trespass on other people's yards or in some cases explore abandoned building in in the worst case stay home and play a game or watch a movie. I feel sad on Halloween for time when you "outgrow" it and you get lost wondering what your supposed to do now. i think i kinda reclaimed that essence. another thing i do is post and discuss spooky shit on 22chan. that also helps.

When I was 10 I had gotten a large slab of fudge for Christmas. being a naughty boy, I snuck it away and ate the whole thing in a few minutes. I never got a stomachache from eating all that fudge and i never got caught or in trouble.

I probably won't be on 22 to do my usual Halloween bash, which is kind of sad to be honest, only thing I can think of doing is just do it one month early.

It is likely you could email the staff what you will say and everything else you will say. I don't see them not helping you out if you want to get stuff posted on Halloween.

i just browse the internet for like a week before halloween and i spend 10 hours per those 7 days to find spooky shit to re-upload on the site
sometimes 4chan anons on /x/ have caches of interesting content on google drive and i reupload that here. i also find archives of spooky threads and posts.
i'll probably start a month before october.

Nice trips. I'd say yeah. More effort is put into posting and threadmaking and more content to lurk. I like the screencap threads and storytelling stuff.

How does 22 celebrate Halloween, if at all? There's always a sort of dreary feeling I get around Halloween. While I highly encourage kindness and joy amongst my peers around Christmas, Halloween doesn't have the same sort of effect. What gets me about it is that going trick or treating seems like it's barely a practice anymore. No kids ever trick or treat around my neighborhood, and I didn't even do it when I was younger. I know there are safety risks but still.
Really, the sour atmosphere around this time of year is mostly due to the modern world we live in and how it affects the young, rather than anything to do with the actual holiday. I will try to get some of my younger relatives to watch a spooky movie with me tomorrow night but their parents are so strict that they probably won't even let me show them The Nightmare Before Christmas. That's even worse, really.

Nice dubs. If things work out for me i'm gonna see the "killers of the flower moon" movie about the osage murders.

For the last few Halloweens, I've had to wagecuck. That has been the horror. I listened to Halloween-themed rock music.

My halloween was totally lackluster. I didn't have the time or ability to enjoy it. I failed totally and royally, I had posted a ton of shit earlier in september because i figured i wouldn't be able to enjoy october/halloween but really maybe i should have waited and collected it al and post everything i had at the same time on halloween for everyone to enjoy/make the board extra fast. I feel pretty down too, I did not have the ability to find spooky stuff like i did back in the day. This is the first /yu/ halloween i have ever had. Maybe i can re-use another month as a rip off halloween? (i doubt it, the same lack of time and not lack of effort thing might strangle me again.) The positive thing is i found a Tusken raider figure at gamestop for 5 bucks, I liked those sandniggers.
I hope everyone had a happy halloween.

I personally dislike the holidays, especially during winter when Christmas and New Years rolls around. This is because they make me feel tired and sad than I already am during the year. Its also sad because winter is one if not my favourite seasons because of the cold environment and how it feels on my skin. It also doesn't help that I'm the only autistic/neurodivergent person in my family, so whenever I feel this way, I feel like I'm on an isolated island with nobody around. It feels like I'm forced to face these battles and demons by myself and to have very little assistance helping me if not any at all.

It feels like Christmas and the end of the year snuck up on me. I don't really feel anything about the holidays besides feeling like more could have been accomplished. The only thing I've been able to do is distract myself from my inner battles.

I enjoy christmas music with a more somber tone, Bonus points if it's orchestral.

The holidays should be some good times of peace. If you are doing festive events out of obligation, I think you are missing the point. If you do anything, do it out of genuine belief and not out of obligation to appease some normalfag.

I've been very cynical lately because things haven't seemed to go well. It is just a another punch being expected to be happy despite things being rough. I am not cynical about the holidays but I am cynical about the future.

I feel frequently ignored during the holidays by my family. While I am not the most friendly my family also makes it difficult when they make activities for other family members. When I try to speak up, it feels like I can't get any traction with my family. This may also be middle-child syndrome stuff.

I was worried today would suck real bad because its the stress of making alot of food and for the entire week its been nothing but hard work non stop but it turns out thanksgiving is being skipped. It feels refreshing but i'm sure i still have more shit to do.

This week i'm going to The Nutcracker ballet, the original version to be specific. the ticket cost is off the roof but fuck it i mean why not? Haven't been to one of those before. It's going to lighten up the holiday for sure.

Seeing the Rockettes as a child was a memorable experience for me. Although I wouldn't enjoy it alone, my family always enjoyed it. We had a good time together as a family. I hope this gets you in the Christmas spirit!
