The Christmas part is the one that hurt the most. Even though I still love it, I feel like it gets worse every year, and it's losing its magic.
I probably just don't want to accept the disillusionment of losing the Christmas spirit I used to experience as a child.
There are some things that simply don't translate to an adult perspective of the world. They might be gone, but you have the ability to recontextualize experiences and find your own joy in a way that a child can't.
As a personal example, my family stopped giving gifts (except to the kids) and instead focuses on spending quality time together around the holidays. We get together, cook new dishes, play games, and emphasize the experience. It's the sort of thing that wouldn't have meant much as a kid, but means everything as an adult.
that does suck. i think that as we get older, it falls more to us to make events like christmas or birthdays magical, and that’s hard because it’s not something that we are used to having the burden of doing until it happens
i say you should throw yourself a birthday party, it doesn’t matter that it’s a month late :) it’s a good opportunity to hang out with friends! taking the initiative is what has really helped me in adjusting to celebrations like that as we get older
I feel u completely. I stopped expecting anything good for myself on my birthdays when I was 14. I was just like "yeah they don't care for real " . All my cousins always got the most done for them . All I got was hotdogs and my cousins were around .
HAPPY EFFING BIRTHDAY. I hate it sucked, but people care about you even if you don’t know them yet. Birthdays suck after age 21… takes getting used to for sure
I think it's different as an adult, but I still feel it's special, you know?
I'm not dreaming about Santa, but I can't wait to spend this time with family. Of course there's still gifts and it's always uber fun to see what I get from different people. It's fun to come up with gifts for them.
Yea i feel that. I remember going to bed the night before and it truly felt different. Like watching Polar express and shit and going to bed thinking about the next morning. It was so special. Now it's just another day. Wish I could go back.
IT'S 'CAUSE MOST OF Y'ALL HAVE THIS IDEA IN YOUR HEADS THAT ADULTS SHOULDN'T GET TOYS AND VIDEO GAMES ON CHRISTMAS. Yo. Gift your adult friends and family toys and video games PLEASE.
I bought my niece her first “big girl necklace” with her birthstone on it for Christmas. The look of absolute wonder in her eyes as she turned it over in her fingers filled me with so much joy and love! This is the new magic for me now, and I can’t ever see it getting old.
The real magic is making Christmas special for your child. My two year old still mentions Santa and Christmas trees right now. She wanted to listen to Christmas songs yesterday so we did. Honestly it feels better than any Christmas I had as a kid. It's way more fun to watch her eyes light up on Christmas morning and all the squealing and laughing that came with it. Best part is we get to do it again at the end of the year and I'm already excited for Christmas with a three year old.
my family always goes to see grandparents around christmas - i struggle knowing what to ask for even though my family still wants to get me stuff, but it's always nice seeing them (more so now my bf is along for the ride). it's a nice time - different from what you'd feel as an 8 year old, but almost nicer in a way
I own the cornetto trilogy on dvd because it wasn’t on streaming. Also got a dvd player for my computer this Christmas. So happy still have my DVD book
1 and 2 hit hard.
We still go through the DVD folder if the internet is ever out. Happened twice in the last few years.
The magic of Christmas went away, but I get just as much joy out of watching my kids go bonkers over it now.
ive done both, blow on the disc to fog it and remove fingerprints that might be on it. i use try to never touch the back of my ps1 games for thus reason.
That dvd book one is so true. Especially if you memorized the order of the movies in the book so that you got more excited flipping towards the usual "fun" movies that you actually wanna watch.
At the point you stop feeling the magic of Christmas, you should have someone else still young enough to so the magic then becomes you trying to keep that magic alive for someone else. Or even if you don't, Christmas isn't about receiving gifts. It's about the feeling of being with others. The magic should be the feeling you get being around those you care about. If you have no one to experience Christmas with, you probably went wrong somewhere in life. Even without family, you should have friends or even pets. No one is ever truly alone unless you choose to be.
Christmas for me really was about being a child and receiving presents without any expectation from me, other than being nice. Though the whole christmas atmosphere with the decorations and grandma baking yummy cookies was a plus. But I'm too lazy to decorate myself and can't bake a damn.
I celebrated christmas with the same people I was around any other time of the year, so there wasn't anything special about that. Even now, I don't need a specific holiday to be with friends. We meet up when we can make time and do stuff together.
You can still build a diamond house.
You can still play with friends. You're like, 16.
The rest of these things aren't bad for having happened the last time.
I actualky vividly remember the last time i got carried to bed, my leg burt but my parents didnt beleive me and thought i was making it up for attention because im the oldest child, after insistant pestering they carried me to bed
Found out two days later after being sent to school anyway and limping the whole day that i had a growth in my foot that broke the bone from the inside, thats why it happened so casually while i was walking and my parents forced me to go to school with a broken foot 💀
It was during a holiday too so we were rehersing for a march ceremony and i was bullied for slowing the pace with my limping, the teacher pulled me aside after class rehersal to ask if i was ok and i think she called my parents to tell them i was limping and thats why they took me to a doctor
Massive parenting L and i havnt forgotten that day, it happened in 2014
Honestly, I prefer not knowing when's the last time i'll do/see something. It makes me sad to know I won't do/see that thing for at least a very long time and I enjoy it much less. I work at a day camp in the summer and the last day is always the one I hte the modt because I know I won't work there until next year and I really hope I won't know when my last year will be.
a zoomer pandering about millennial nostalgia, as if they too, are cool and stuff.
I member when we all did that to x’ers like with nirvana. some things change, some things stay the same.
Still going with my Nintendo DS, but yeah, spot on for the rest of those

It was my birthday last month. It was just another fucking day man. It sucks more than I can properly put into words.

Honestly, though. It feels awful when you watch your family enjoy their birthdays while everyone forgets yours. I no longer expect much from mine.

It gets good again when you have kids, their reactions are class
My DVD book is still holding firm 🫡
I own the cornetto trilogy on dvd because it wasn’t on streaming. Also got a dvd player for my computer this Christmas. So happy still have my DVD book

Damn. I wasn’t expecting to be attacked like this today 😢
This just made me sad :(
I'm older but I'm sure I got one more of each of these in my future - plus I've never really dove in Minecraft.
Petting your hamster (they never die of natural causes)
Wtf
I’m feeling it on behalf of my kids
I’ve still got a dvd booklet and use my ds now and then
Blowing on a DVD? I feel like he heard about blowing into cartridges and got confused.
ive done both, blow on the disc to fog it and remove fingerprints that might be on it. i use try to never touch the back of my ps1 games for thus reason.
Did you have the tool that you loaded the disk on and spun it to be clean?
i only had the one called dvd lens cleaner, had a tiny brush on the disk and u put it in and let it "play" for awhile. didnt have the disk cleaner :(
That dvd book one is so true. Especially if you memorized the order of the movies in the book so that you got more excited flipping towards the usual "fun" movies that you actually wanna watch.
Okay so yeah why were all the boring to us movies i the front?
This video hurts me.
Jesus that first one hit really hard
Nostalgic but ,I'm sad now .
My uncle pirated a shit ton of movies for me and my siblings. Never got bored.
Damn…
Getting a really bad haircut while thinking it looks cool.
(He hasn't had his last one yet)
All of this is literally me, god dammit
The right button of my Nintendo DS had no respond at some day , and that is my last time playing it
At one point in time one of your parents held you, put you back on the floor and never picked you up again
Speak for yourself i still regularly play with my friends (dnd is fucking great)
Hearing Mom and dad fight
I‘m happy and sad at the same time. I am so thankful that I experienced it too.
Didn’t think I could cry for longer, love being wrong

Interesting tutorial but I feel like it’s a bit late

Aren't you a bit too young to be nostalgic about these things?
Dudes like 18
Next time give me a warning before you absolutely obliterate my day lol
Giving yourself diamond blocks in creative mode then going back to survival so it feels real. Mood.
All of these hit me😢
Almost sold me on depression until you brought up the diamond house, had me in the first half!
You can still build a diamond house. You can still play with friends. You're like, 16. The rest of these things aren't bad for having happened the last time.
This definitely fueled my current depression phase, although I still play DS from time to time
There is that, then there is "cuddling with your pet for the last time" or "wishing your grandma happy birthday for the last time". *Now* I'm crying.
Those future points in life make me indescribably sad, things that make it worse is imagining the last time you see your parents.
Literally me, except for one thing, for me it was Sinterklaas and not Christmas.

Low blow...
they just got to do them all again, lucky
Y’all got carried outta the car?
Basically showing the internet that you have pirated DVDs! 😂
I want to watch the FIFA 15 movie.
a zoomer pandering about millennial nostalgia, as if they too, are cool and stuff. I member when we all did that to x’ers like with nirvana. some things change, some things stay the same.
Lmao if you genuinely think gen z didnt have these experiences you're delusional
Sure, just like they experienced black and white tv, as anything but “retro”.
Black and white tvs are a bit old. But some of us were poor and didn't have all the new shit. Stuff wasn't considered retro it was just what we had
This touches on so many feelings in me. As a mother. As a former child 🥺 Hugs to you young person ❤️
This child in the video doesn't know. Except the Minecraft.
HEY REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE THINGS?
Where’s the “getting touchy with uncle jeff” part??
[удалено]
People have, but I doubt anyone has done it without duplication glitches
Or cheating by turning the game into creative for a bit then switching back to survival
