I prefer to stretch my "good time" with the family over a period of oh......every fucking day. Tell me, whats so special about this day to a buddhist anyway???

haha just because I'm more inclined towards buddhism doesn't mean I don't recognise when others see a day as special... just because you'd rather see every day as special doesn't mean you shouldn't respect others believing this day is special, and joining them in their joys.

this fool acts like he has some super rationalization that makes all holidays obsolete, when its actually dependant upon the people around you, not a selfish thought in your own head... have fun with that one dbkick

hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ......i imagine, .........

you are young and thinks it's cool to miss christmas with the family to hang with a plant. "braggin' rights" for tomorrow, so to speak.

a plant can EASILY be replaced. families can't.

I think the OP's mistake was choosing the word neglect. That implies his family is worthy of his attention in the first place, perhaps they aren't. My roommate refuses to see his family on Christmas because they are pure shit and couldn't care less if he was laying in a ditch the rest of the year. I am lucky enough to have wonderful parents and we will both be celebrating with them.

Perhaps he feels Christmas is a perfect time for someone to rip off his setup if they know he will be away. You can say that stuff is replaceable while family isn't, but bottom line is, it's just one day and there really is no logical reason why seeing family on that day is more important than the rest of the year. I do not believe in Christmas or any of the reasons we have the holiday, yet I spend time with my mom out of respect for her. If she did not deserve that respect, I would have no problem spending Christmas night with my plants instead.

even if they are this bad, you have the responsibility to reach to atleast tread the waters and see if they are still the same... its foolish to shun them off forever....

You know that probably does have a lot to do with the flame he's getting, topic wasn't worded right. I always have liked the way you think and get a point across heisenberg

Though I've constantly told myself I hate my parents I spent christmas with them and stayed sober the whole time, just for them. If I were high they would tell me to leave.
