Yup, no tree, minimal gifts, not going in debt for one day. Cutting back, paying off bills, mourning family and friends that have recently passed, mourning pending inauguration, just had eye surgery. I’m relaxing, minding my business, saving money and getting closer to The Almighty.
Same. No tree, no lights, no gifts. I cooked for my grandmother, and now I'm binge watching Black Christmas movies. Maybe that will give me a boost by tomorrow 😂.
My aunt announced thanksgiving night “we doing seafood for Christmas. Don’t nobody want the same food in three weeks!” She sent a list the next week with assigned food to buy. 😂
I think we're feeling this way because we have lost or fogotten the TRUE meaning of Christmas. We are supposed to be commemorating the birth of Christ, but we have made His birth about ourselves and have commercialized Christmas so much that it doesn't feel the same anymore. This year flew by, so I'm going to have my family to "count their blessings" by recounting all the great things that have happened this year and giving God praise for all of His provisions. I'm grateful. Happy Birthday, Jesus!!🎉🎉🎉🎂🍨🧁🎁🎄
This! My redeemer lives and as long as there is breath in my body I will give him all glory, honor, and praise. Many didn't make it but by God's grace and mercy I'm here, clothed in my right mind, healthy, employed, roof over my head .. blessings and goodness go on & on! Life is not perfect but there's JOY in being a child of God. That's enough for me to shout and dance. Thank you Jesus & Merry Christmas! Jesus - the only gift that matters ❤
NO MA’AM we have not forgotten, this “country” and the spirit operating has dampened the joy in the atmosphere, BUT WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 (decorating has nothing to do with the birth of Christ)
That's me! 100% I told everybody not to invite me to anything , and i will not be driving in the snow for nobody. Told my job that they will not see my body at the office until January. 😂😂 No lights, no tree. The most Christmasy thing I have done this year was volunteer to wrap the gifts for the toy drive we had at work for the underprivileged kids.
"Baby all yo stuff is already in yo room" 😂😂😂😂😂SAY THAT!!!!!!! All I want is to be left alone and do not I REPEAT do not TEXT ME Christmas in the group chat!!!!! 🤨
Thankfully nobody texted me in a group chat for Christmas. They did for Thanksgiving though as i silently fussed because the only reason my phone was on was because i set my alarm because i had to get up super early for work. None of my family have the type of jobs where they have to be up that early. Some are retired and have all night and all day to do nothing.
My sister and I just had the exact same conversation.... I used to have it. I loved the holidays. Decorating for the festivities, cooking huge feasts and wanting to be with friends and family. Dancing. But now.... I honestly can't remember what the "holiday spirit" even feels like anymore. Because it has been sooo long since I have had that joyous feeling in my life. I'm just here. Enduring. And I am weary. Don't get down on yourself. Girl, it ain't just you. Take a moment just for you okay. Hoping this will help. Sending Love and Peace straight to your heart and Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❤🎉 and a Happy New Year 🎊💕
The election results ruined it for me - I was never into Christmas a lot anyway, but not at all this year😖😩 Kamala Harris as President would have been a Christmas gift for me💙💙💙💙💙💙
My husband just built a cabin with his bare hands. (Logged the wood, milled it himself type of lumbar jack stuff), and we just moved in today. Yes, on Christmas Eve. We only have our beds, bare essential dishes (frozen pizza for dinner), I'm super nauseated from first trimester stupidness, and we put up the most janky Christmas tree ever. Are we necessarily in the mood for Christmas ourselves as parents. No. But we gotta make Christmas happen for these babies of ours. They finally got their own bedroom. And somehow they're gonna wake up to Christmas magic. Cause fake it till you make it. This is definitely my internal dialogue though.
I am the opposite I have been in the Christmas season since October. Happy holidays everyone , for me I just want to spend time with my family and friends, no gifts needed 😊
Aaaaye!!! No giff ZONE! No giff ZONE!! 😂😂😂 I'm right there with you. I am thankful for my 14 year old son. He understands he gets all year round. He only asked for a little $20 game for his Playstation. That's my boy! 😂😂
Me too y'all! I will be in my pajamas watching football all damn day at MY HOUSE!! I didn't put up a tree but I did get some fresh poinsettias! I used to love love love Christmas but I'm just not feeling it. Anyway have the most amazing day tomorrow and KEEP HOPE ALIVE IN '25!!
This skit is 💯 all truth.. I said I don't want anyone coming to my house I don't want to put on a bra, serve play hostess then have to clean up I have been cooking and cleaning all year I only gave my grandson a gift and told his mama sorry for the presentation it was in a grocery bag it has been a financially tough year I couldn't stock up on my work place snacks I bought some snacks for the holidays and I don't want anyone coming over to eat out of it.. let me treat myself. I told my husband he has the best wife in the world I didn't ask for anything new I just washed and put back the same curtains but I did my real deep cleaning so I was happy with that I made do with what I have
Showing up to my parents in a few like, “Sweat pants, hair tie, chillin with no makeup on.” Also, I logged into my momma Amazon account back in September to order my own Christmas gifts so I’d get exactly what I want. 😂🤷🏻♀️
I knew something was off this year when the “go to christmas light neighborhoods” weren’t going a fraction as hard as they are known for. Something is off this year
Pulled up to the malls they were packed and no parking spaces 😮...I pulled off 😅 no one got gifts this year. Going out for NY's and buy gifts. Not in the mood for the chaotic mess this year 🤷🏽♀️
What I love most about the holidays is having a three days off work. I bought just a few gifts. Thankfully I don’t have any kids to wake me up before the crack of dawn. I’m just relaxing today. Best gift ever! Merry Christmas everyone!
The bow wasn't in the mood either 😒 😅
😂😂😂frfr at all
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It shole wasn’t 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂🤣😅
“I promise I’m not getting dressed up to go sit in the living room with everybody “ bruhhh if that ain’t the truth 😂😂😂😂
What sweatsuit am I wearing this year?😂
I've never understood wearing my best to be around the same folks that saw me crawling around as a baby in my birthday suit 🤷🏾♀️
Christmas pajamas for me! I got a lil spirit 🎄😂
FACTS!!! Why do we do that every year? 😂😂😂
I'm gown down baby 😊😊😊😊😂
idk why, but christmas is just not christmas-ing this year! 😂
Exactly right!!
It's too expensive to Christmas this year!
By this time..for the last 35 yrs. I would have gifts and cards done and sent. This year. Nothing.
Exactly! That's me. No tree. Bought stamps, cards sitting on the table still not mailed. I got nothing this year.
Been like that for quite a few years tbh
Yup, no tree, minimal gifts, not going in debt for one day. Cutting back, paying off bills, mourning family and friends that have recently passed, mourning pending inauguration, just had eye surgery. I’m relaxing, minding my business, saving money and getting closer to The Almighty.
God bless!

Sorry for your loss...Been unsubscribed as well...
Yes Ma'am, scoot ova cause I'm RIGHT there witcha!!!😂😂😂😂
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You have captured the spirit this year. You are not by yourself
Yes indeed!
Same. No tree, no lights, no gifts. I cooked for my grandmother, and now I'm binge watching Black Christmas movies. Maybe that will give me a boost by tomorrow 😂.
🫰🏾🫰🏾🫰🏾 I’m good.
💯 not this year. And maybe not the next. Hells naw.
Yess I been bing watching Christmas movies too 😂
@Dr.Vernita What channel are the Black Christmas movies on? Maybe it'll help me if I watch some too. 😀
At least you cooked for Granny. That was sweet. Cooking seems to put me in the spirits. Merry Christmas
“No gift zone” ma’am I hollered 🤣😜😳😆😂🤣😳🤪🤣😂🥰🥰🥰
"They know betta "😂
Merry Grinchmas everybody 😅

Ok!!! The same menu 30 days apart 😂😂😂😂😂
My aunt announced thanksgiving night “we doing seafood for Christmas. Don’t nobody want the same food in three weeks!” She sent a list the next week with assigned food to buy. 😂
@@pigalottafattenton5003Some people eat the same thing every day, let alone, every few weeks or every week (meal preppers, etc)...
@@pigalottafattenton5003my mom said she wanted seafood too.

The Way that bow moves down that head at times.. baaybbbyy I UNDERSTAND

The bow wasn't in the mood either 😅
I haven’t even put my tree up yet 🙃 life hit me too hard this year

That bow is bow-ing!😅🤣😂
That bow got jealous of Mama’s wig!!😂😂😂
Isn’t it wild how we just want to be left alone, but then get mad when no one acknowledges us for all the hard work we do?
😅😅😅😅😅
Yes 😂😂
Not just Christmas! 24/7/365. Be grateful for me!.... but leave me the hell alone at the same time 😂
That's me! 100% I told everybody not to invite me to anything , and i will not be driving in the snow for nobody. Told my job that they will not see my body at the office until January. 😂😂
No lights, no tree. The most Christmasy thing I have done this year was volunteer to wrap the gifts for the toy drive we had at work for the underprivileged kids.
😂😂😂 I know thats real!
Help me out! What is the exact text wording for do not invite me to anything? (In the most loving and polite way) 😂 I NEED THAT. BADLY. 😂
EJ, you just said everything I'm feeling. Its THAT kind of year. You made me smile. Thank you for that!
I'm glad it's not just me because why is this month taking so long
Be careful. Might not want to be too eager for 2025....lord knows what's headed our way this time 😬😅
@yoshie8706 honestly that might be why it's so hard to get into the spirit.
"Baby all yo stuff is already in yo room" 😂😂😂😂😂SAY THAT!!!!!!! All I want is to be left alone and do not I REPEAT do not TEXT ME Christmas in the group chat!!!!! 🤨

I’ve been feeling the same
😂😂😂 I felt all this!!
She is going all the way through it
EJ has HAD IT!! Lol 😂
Me this year
❤❤
Baby....when that bow slid down the front of your head ma'am....😂😂
‘Fry a lil piece of fish’ actually sounds really good! I’ll take that any day!🤣. Also, that bow gave its own version of Christmas spirit!
I fried a lil piece of fish yesterday 😂
Fried fish is exactly what we are having.
When that bow went down, I went down with it 😂😂😂
Yesssssss I wanna be left alone!
🙌🏾
Girll.. the maybe it’s holiday grief and immediate tears has been me all season!! 😂😩😭
Okay, so it’s not just me feeling this way for Christmas this year 🙃 like I want to literally sleep Christmas away 😭
I put the tree up, it's prelit and then I dragged the decorations in and was like, I change my mind! The tree is enough 😂
😂 I bought a pre lit tree too..still in the box. I'm taking it back like I did last year. Maybe next year. 🤷🏾♀️
Same, my tree is giving a natural look. Not a bow or bauble to be seen
I’ve watched this video 50-‘lem times. So glad it’s not just me feeling this way! 😮💨
Girl the bow is giving Ray J's hat in that episode 😂😂😂
Don't speak on my DUSTER! 😂
Good to see I'm not the only one. That tree is gorgeous though!
Good to know it wasn’t just me this year. Something is in the 2024 air. Came into this year so happy and joyful, exiting moody and unmotivated 😂.
The election results ruined it for me - I was never into Christmas a lot anyway, but not at all this year😖😩 Kamala Harris as President would have been a Christmas gift for me💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@rainynights8879 they played in that lady’s face that’s all I’m saying. From Pennsylvania to Georgia to Joe Biden himself 🤷🏿♀️
My sentiments exactly 😂 I want peace and quiet. Please and thank you
My husband just built a cabin with his bare hands. (Logged the wood, milled it himself type of lumbar jack stuff), and we just moved in today. Yes, on Christmas Eve.

Why is this video not 10x longer? Absolutely loved this
I knew something was off this year when the “go to christmas light neighborhoods” weren’t going a fraction as hard as they are known for. Something is off this year
Haven't had it since 2010 when my mom passed away. I'd be completely happy just sleeping through it instead of pretending each year.
