So I found out my boyfriend will be heading home for Christmas after spending the entire night last night preparing our apartment for the Holiday.
I am excited for him that he gets to go home and spend the Holiday with his family as he has never missed a Christmas with them, but I am hurt because up until last night the plan was for us to spend Christmas together. I can't go home with him because his family lives 1,000 miles away and I can not afford a plane ticket.
Now he wants to have Christmas tonight and I am not in the mood. I have lost all my Christmas spirit. What can I do to stop feeling so hurt and regain my holiday spirit?

Right now take a few moments to stop, collect yourself, think, and pray. Yes, you're disappointed that you won't spend Christmas Day with your boyfriend. However, you get to celebrate Christmas with him a few days early! You get to spend a whole evening with him in your decorated home!
Think about the good side and the blessings of this, even if it's not your ideal. After all; your guy wants to spend tonight with you celebrating Christmas; do you want to ruin it with a bad mood? Cheer up for his sake, and your own. It might help you to play some Christmas music or watch a Christmas video before he comes.
If you can't cheer up, then when he comes, tell him you're sad that you won't spend Christmas Day with him, but that you're glad that he is here now. Then enjoy the here and now!

Oh, sorry about what's happened... i know how it feels to be in a bad mood because of something that happened between you and someone else, and when they wanna make up your not in the mood... it hurts but, if you think about it, it's not so bad, you can see him tonight, celebrate the joyious holidays ( a little before they come) and even if your not happy at first, you'll feel better after you have spent time with that special someone! And for X-mas, try visiting your family or if they don't live close try to have a good time with friends. Your boyfriend wouldn't want you to be sad right? Get out there and have a good time!

You have to be happy for him.
Yes he might of made it great for you
but look on the bright side he's happy.
Maybe the weekend after Christmas you can have it
all over again.
Think of it as saving the last Christmas for the best person.
Christmas will come again.

It's better to give than to receive...Give him this and let him go without making him feel guilty. If your relationship continues to grow and you end up getting married....you'll have plenty of Christmases together in the future. Make him happy...do your Christmas together tonight and wish him a safe trip.

Well, when is he getting back? I would have Christmas then. You will be in a better mood due to him being back. That's what I would do.
