There’s nobody to give me presents anymore. I don’t have a family left to celebrate the holiday with, no friends either. I barely decorate.
But there’s still one thing from my childhood I still try to honor and that’s having a stocking of candy. If not, small gifts.


I never get Christmas gifts either, not even cards.
I buy myself the same snacks and treats every Christmas, and cook a nice Christmas dinner. I then zone out in front of the TV.
It’s a nice tradition, very peaceful, unlike past Christmases with the now estranged family.
