Everyone thinks of Christmas to be joyous and spent with family, friends, and loved ones.
Not so if you have not any family, friends, and so forth.
Many people can be so hateful even at the holidays and only think of themselves. For instance, if someone owes you money and has part of the merchandise; they keep making excuses so that you never recieve it. You budget your month to make things work out, and include the owed money {afterall, they said they were going to pay for the merchandise}.
Long story short, they never pay. You move to option #2 and they said they would help you out. They bug out and spend the money they were going to give you on themselves, and do not think twice about it.
So, that leaves you with no money and it is Christmas, you can't buy food--because no money. Thankfully, a neighbor gives you food to help through the holidays.
So, in hindsight, what you proposed for the holiday is shelved and it is just another day. You have no friends--because they do not {will not} understand that you got jipped}; family--well, they like to ridicule your life and proceed to tell you how to live your life. Loved ones--they are deceased, they were the only real people who really cared!
