No! I have not celebrated a holiday since 2009. For me, some friends and family have faded away. Ever since COVID, I have felt distant and with the changing of the times, it seems like I do not feel the vibe and the atmosphere of the holidays. I am focusing on taking care of my roommate and the dog. My celebration is being alive, having a roof over my head, and having food in the refrigerator, being blessed that I still am able to move and enjoy life my way.

I feel like a Scrooge saying it, but dread it like a colonoscopy. If I outlive my father, I plan to never do another family holiday.

I have mixed emotions about the holidays this year. Last year was all right, although kinda weird not being with my wife . I did hang out with family and it was cool to do so, since it’s been so long since I’ve done that ( too long of a story ) I found myself at a pub having a burger with a few brews. Then on Christmas, I caught Covid and was asked by my cousin if
I could stay at a hotel Christmas Eve so he could disinfect the house before a dinner with his family. So yeah , not really looking forward to this year, tbh.

Not at all. I don't get along with my family to begin with and this will be my first HIV+ season. They don't know I'm positive either.

I love when Halloween Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. I start celebrating from now until next year. You gotta live every moment like it was your last. Must be nice to spend it with a love one but even if Iam alone I still enjoy being part of it all😊
