#1 I Got Fired So This Is My Christmas Alone

I Got Fired So This Is My Christmas Alone
I live in Atlanta, Georgia and I got fired on December 20th. My only chance to pay rent this month was to drive 700 miles and start a new contracting job the week of Christmas.

I don’t have any family or many friends anyways but I was looking forward to spending time with the few souls I do have in my life. I miss them but I am stuck eating ravioli on a concrete floor, in a warehouse, for Christmas.

#3 How I Received My Xmas Gift From Amazon

How I Received My Xmas Gift From Amazon
The cover was bent and the record was chipped.

At least Amazon replaced it the next day, in the proper record mailer, inside an another box with packing bubbles. It’s like there’s no middle ground with them.

American actor, comedian, and filmmaker Mel Brooks once said that “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die,” in reference to the very real fact that, ultimately, it’s all about perspective. After all, the fails here range from mild annoyances to holiday ruining.

However, it can be a good lesson on perspective, after all, you can thank your own lucky stars that these things didn’t happen to you. It’s easy to forget that everything going “right” isn’t the default, so it can be nice to take a moment and appreciate what you have. Christmas is, in many ways, a great time of year for that.

Hopefully, any particularly major fail ends up feeling like funny memories in the future, a great moment to go “do you remember when…” next Christmas. Who doesn’t like a sympathetic story for the holidays? It can be terrible at the moment, but ultimately cherished memories are often born of bad luck.

BF Stood Me Up
Ended up at a holiday themed pop up bar, alone. Ended up paying $8 for a $2 beer. Stared at my feet the floor and the walls for what felt like an eternity watching other couples and families interact and engage in the festivities. I want to crawl into a deep hole and disappear. I’m so embarrassed.
