Called getting old.
As we say here "Christmas, sure it's only for the kids"
It's never the same as when you were younger but you can try and enjoy it in a different way this year. Just being around the people you love is good. I'd like to do that with my family but we are in different countries. If you're not you should be with them
Alternatively a lot of people go on holiday for Christmas. thinking about it myself. Not long now. get the decorations up two weeks before and head into town and get the shopping fever. Soak up the atmosphere. Have a hot whisky in the pub in the late afternoon and look at what you bought. Wrap presents early and just seeing them will get you in the swing. Music, gotta have Christmas songs they always work. Nat King Cole always does it for me. In fact I'm going to put it on right now. Thanks for reminding me
Merry Christmas Fallen from Grace !!!!!!!!!

Somehow, every year my festive spirit dies when some 'innovative & high paid' ad agency decides that it would be great to use Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everyone' for an ad. I hated the song when I was a child, and every year some company puts it on an ad in October.

I got into the spirit the day after Halloween. It was a magnificent day. The air was clear and light. It sprinkled (rain) a bit and I saw 3 rainbows.
I started my Christmas shopping that week, because I was so excited. I think others in the area felt it to, because I saw many homes with their Christmas lights up during the 1st week of November.
The Christmas season is about anticipation. It's about hope and possibilities. If you have nothing to look forward to, then I guess it probably sucks.

Tell me about it!
Shopping, Christmas carols, blinking lights everywhere.
I really love lights and the weather this time of year, but the commercialization of the holiday season is making it hard for me to feel festive. A bit of the Scrooge has crept into my soul this year. Damn him!

Light of my life, I HATE Christmas. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate HATE it. I hate every fcucking minute of it, from the first bloody decorations going up in Woolworths (generally in mid October) to the last rancid turkey sandwich landing in the bin outside the St Mungo's hostel. I hate the whole overcommercialised, schmaltzy, money-grubbing boondoggle, from the snotty kids screaming because they have to queue up for half an hour to get a whiff of Santa's whisky breath to the berks who think that spending £600 on a X-3000 QBOX Mark IX means that they actually love li'l Johnnie, (demonstrably moreso than the neighbours, who only got the X-3000 Mark VIII for Tarquin - the peasants) to those purblind, pigshyt thick ignorant Grauniad readers who think it is actually okay to send unacclimatised European farm animals into the sub-Saharan dustbowl, vicariously saddling me with the blame for the appalling environmental damage (don't they know how much a fcucking cow drinks?!?) by sending me a conscience-soothing bit of paper with a fcuking picture of Daisy the Fcuking Cow on it, to the drunken asreholes at the office party who think it's okay to act like twats because they are just letting their hair down - it's only once a year, after all, to the fcuking incessant ads on television and the forced fcucking cheer and WHY, why oh why, if we can have peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women and children regardless of race, colour, creed, sexual orientation or size of secondary sexual characteristics, can't we have that every fcuking day of the bastard year? Why do we have to shower seasonal goodwill on people to whom we wouldn't normally give the steam off a dog turd? Why do I have to give my credit cards a caning just to buy you some hideously expensive bauble that you won't like, and why do I have to get a fcuking £5.00 Boots token and a pair of Y-fronts in return? I hate Christmas. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Come round my gaff on Christmas Eve - I'm the one on the roof with a loaded shotgun and the gin traps scattered about the place. And I have venison for Christmas dinner. I hate Christmas.

It's hard to get into the spirit when you've been seeing Christmas stuff since before Halloween! By now burn out is right around the corner.

Me too! Christmas is just like one big commercial venture now, I dread it. How awful to feel like this about a festival that used to be so special. All the real meaning of Christmas is gone. Roll on second week in January when we can start to forget it!

It's NOT just you. I can't get into the festive spirit for love or money. Ugh.
