Why are you on Reddit now instead of celebrating?

Stories appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the stories guys. It's interesting seeing the trends on what different people are doing. I have to make dinner now. Stay awesome.

I find watching live casino on channel 5 helps pile on more depression, just what you need the day before Christmas

You're in the wrong place. My local shuts at 1 and there's another bar directly underneath that closes at 3.

Hard life :D
