I am having a hardtime trying to find it. I am feeling blue. No snow, my son is not wanting to do things that we normally do at Christmas time. December was rough on me. Christmas Eve is my favorite day. I am just not feeling it. I need to feel like Scrooge did on Christmas morning.

Yes. Christmas now seems to be a cold formal thing, done solely because we have to do it. I have not heard a lot of Merry Christmases this year, or felt the spirit of it when I go out.
About your son. I'm sure he'll change in a few years. It must be a phase he's going through.

Oh, I have the Christmas Spirit. I was in an abusive marriage at this time last year. I felt like the dumbest person on the planet and I didn't want to live to see tomorrow because life was so bad. I got the courage to get out of that and now I have a second chance at life,family, and friends. I look around all the time and see all the wonderful things I could have missed. If I would have stayed much longer, there is no doubt that I would have been dead. Put on the Christmas lights, put on some Christmas music, get some hot chocolate and cookies,watch a Christmas movie, have you and your son make list of all the good things in your life. I'm sure the spirit will come back.

You look like Clarice, but you feel like Scrooge? That's not good.
Have you tried making new traditions this year? You're son is getting older, maybe he wants/needs something different this year.
Have you tried sitting down to a huge bowl of popcorn and some classic X-mas movies? Or you can take turns guessing what you're getting for Christmas. Looking at the decorations of neighbors? Make snowman cookies, since you don't have any snow.
Over the last few years I've found that my 'Christmas Spirit' feels different from how it was when I was younger. The excitement is gone for me, it's become more of a quiet happiness. I think if you don't let yourself worry and stress over the things you can't change and simply do what you can, things tend to work out well enough.

Well dear you are not alone!! It has been a hard year for oh so many folk. Remember the reason for the season . Seek out your spiritual self. Plan for a peaceful Christmas day - go to church if you feel like it . Hug your son and those near and dear to you . Prepare for hopefully better year next year . We all change a little as time goes by and it's hard to accept those changes, even in ourselves . Pray and open your heart and be ready . Something incredible could be right around the corner! . Good Luck and Merry Christmas and a wish for a Prosperous New Year!!!!!!

confident! i admire Christmas and that's my favourite holiday yet this twelve months...i'm having this variety of no longer ordinary time desirous to beautify, or save for provides. I on occasion sense like Christmas basically isn't what it use to be and that's extra of a tension then an relaxing time. To commercialized, all with regard to the provides (which maximum folk seem ungrateful to get besides) and the authentic meaning of Christmas has gotten lost. This twelve months Thanksgiving got here one week later and then develop, you have Christmas exhibiting up acceptable after Halloween which made me sense like as quickly as back, it replaced into all approximately pushing revenues. i do no longer even bear in mind infrequently seeing Thanksgiving stuff out. i'm almost performed adorning for Christmas yet have faith me, that's been like pulling tooth. i've got performed it extra for my young ones to get excitement from because of the fact if i could have had my selection, i does not have performed it in any respect. Being 5 months pregnant and ill may well be a contributing ingredient...who's conscious of. Stepping off the soapbox now.

Yeah... I lost my youngest brother almost a year ago.... its the first Christmas without him. Losing someone that close to you puts a damper on most things. I've tried my hardest though to put on a good face and muddle through it. I've done alot to keep busy, and tried to create new traditions that my daughters can enjoy and focus on. But I still feel that emptiness in me. I have felt overwhelming love from people this year though, which has gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, at least part of the time.

No,I have Christmas music playing from AOL radio, as I am answering this,sometimes you just have to say what the heck,you cant change the world or the bad things going on and just let yourself have some fun. My mom die in March of this year and this is the first year in 51 years I've not had my mommy with me....but i know she wouldn't want me moping around, and I know she's in Heaven and that makes me happy to know I will see her soon.

People are too obsessed with the comercialization of Christmas. It is not about the presents, it is about Jesus and even from a nonreligious standpoint, it is about love and peace. If you want snow you have to get Edward Scizorhands to move to your town. Or visit Denver plenty of snow there.

Listen to some chipper Christmas music, imagine your entire town is embedded in the white stuff, coax your son into following your Christmas traditions, and look foward to a happier future.
