Right now, I'm in New York city, forced to watch my six year old cousins as my parents get wasted in the other room. The only entertainment I really have is my laptop, and my headset just broke (again), so music/podcasts are out of the picture. My Christmas gift, which is an Xbox 360 Elite, is miles away in my home in Virginia. The only thoughts going though my mind right now is "Fuck my life."
Has anyone ever been this bored on Christmas Day?
Edit- People, this IS NOT meant to be taken seriously. I know I'm a whinier.
Has anyone ever been as bored as me on Christmas Day?

I'm not worried tho, could be much worse.
I have 2 gifts that are arriving late so I kind of know how you feel. Of course I still have Forza 3 and a few other things to mess around with.

I'm not going to post a picture of a African starving child, but I hope that puts things in perspective.
" You got an Xbox 360 Elite for Christmas but you're still thinking "fuck my life"? Sounds spoiled. "That was an exaggeration.

" Dude, really? I remember Christmas Day as the day my Dad beat me on my left cheek so hard it turned black and when he pulled the ear of my mum so hard she had to have surgery afterwards. So... "eh...I'm not buying that.
I can find Christmas Day has its boring moments. Even as a child I remember my whole family sitting around and falling asleep in front of some boring musical but this year's been pretty good. The television and internet have kept me occupied, I've been well fed and for the most part I've enjoyed the company of the people I'm with.
I think he said it because said Elite is miles and miles away from him :P" @Metal_Gear_Sunny said:

Maybe you can sneak a quick shot of whatever they're drinking, you're 15 right? Don't do it actually, something about your brain developing.
I had the first christmas day in three (or four? hmm whatever) years where I haven't been at work all day. It was fucking awesome. I slept in until about 6:30-7:00 o'clock which is awesome for me did the whole present thing pretty quickly went for a walk, played some games, ate great food, listened to good music, had a nap in the middle of the fucking day, and got up and did it all over again.
Now it's Boxing day the Test match between Australia and Pakistan is on so I am gonna chill out and watch the cricket and sink a beer or two all afternoon. But first I am going to go for a walk try and work off the christmas pudding from yesterday and then briefly brave the nearby shopping centre to check out the boxing day sale and buy some new t-shirts as I went through my clothes on christmas eve and put a whole bunch of stuff in a Salvos clothing bin.
So no I am having a totally tits weekend and I am revealing in the fact that work is still 2 days away. If you had of asked me on recent previous years maybe I could relate but right now that seems like distant memory.
" As I don't celebrate Christmas it's just like any other day to me and as almost all my other friends are celebrating it can be quite a boring day. "Same for me. Just got outta work and nothing to do. Probably gonna play some Bioshock or Deus Ex, thanks to the Steam sale.

I'ma say just stick it out. You got an Xbox for christ sake. Just think of all the awesome. Also go play with the kids, I'm sure if they're young enough then doing wrestling moves to them will be fun for the both of you.
Check this game out. It is pretty good at killing some time.

Christmas has definitely lost its edge this year so between now and next year, I'm really going to have to do something with my life so I have more options and shit to do for Christmas 2010.

STFU. Seriously. You get a 360 Elite and you complain like a little brat. I've just lost the little respect I had for you.
People really need to chill out....
Hes having a crappy christmas day and he isnt where he wants to be. Would you really be thinking "Wow ive got a 360 at home, cant wait till when I can play it. I love my life and everything that I have" or "F***ing parents getting drunk while I sit and waste a day looking after some people and clean up their s***"?
A lot of people on here seem to be cash straped, maybe everyone is just jealous?
I'm lucky if my family even says hi to each other on Christmas, we never had any sort of get together or anything like that. This Christmas the only thing I got was a hat and some candy. great haul right? I don't care if this is a joke thread, be happy you get anything and you actually have a FAMILY. Fuck you.
To be clear no i don't give a fuck about the presents my mom can barley afford what I got this year.
im bored. last night we had our family party. but today i didnt do shit but played uncharted 2 and some other stuff.
i was supposed to go to my girlfriends house for dinner but she lives kinda far and since i have no car right now, i asked my dad to use his but he was all like nahhh so im fucking stuck inside UGH!!
I have had the day to myself for the most part, which is pretty nice considering i worked 45 hours this week.
" A lot of people on here seem to be cash straped, maybe everyone is just jealous? "Maybe, just maybe we would learn to appreciate what we have instead of complaining? Not everyone gets gifts. Not everyone even has a nice family get-together for Christmas. I'm sure many of us in his position would not sound like a spoiled kid and know to appreciate the situation.
