Can I go on a mini rant for moment?

I don't wanna be a Scrooge, and I don't want to offend anyone or anything but... why isn't it okay to say, "No, I did not have a Merry Christmas?" Like everyone has asked me how my Christmas was and.. I just feel like I cannot, absolutely can't say it wasn't good.
I didn't get anything (boohoo, no presents, it's not about that, blah blah), I didn't get to spend time with family, I didn't even have a tree or get to watch any cute Christmas specials because I don't have cable.. but telling anyone this stuff made conversation instantly awkward and I felt like I had to apologize for not having a good day.
I'm sorry, but I just didn't. :c I hope everyone else did, I really, really do. The highlight of my day was the ten minute phone call from my dad, telling me they cut his pay and he almost couldn't call for Christmas.
So I guess... #firstworldproblems #notamerrychristmas #depressing
Sorry.

Don't feel like you have to say you're sorry, there's (hopefully) at least 75 Christmases you get to experience in your life, not all of them can be 100% perfect or even good.
And then everyone I talked to told me about all the presents they got, which that's cool, I'm glad you got stuff you wanted.. but then when you're like, "What about you?" and I say, "My dad called" it gets hella awkward 'cause they're like, "Well what did you get?" Nothing. I got money from you, which thank you again, and money from my mom, that also went to meds. I know I shouldn't complain, but like... any money I had went to meds because they weren't covered by my insurance. It sucked. I couldn't even get my boyfriend or my family presents.
I'm sorry you didn't have a good christmas, too. Hopefully next year will be better!
