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 don’t really follow any holiday traditions anymore. My friends don’t get me stuff and I don’t get them stuff.
I even stay home for Thanksgiving and don’t go to watch fireworks on the 4th.
It’s not that I don’t get out, but more so that I avoid the calamity everyone else is in on those days. To me, it’s a day off work and some time to catch up on chores or projects.
