I've got no kind of christmas spirit

for about the fifth year in a row. allright, sure, usually I get in the mood just a couple days before christmas, but I have a feeling that won't be so this year.

I won't be getting any presents, and I won't be giving any. is christmas losing its magic? or am I just getting older?

 

It is best not to celebrate. I quit celebrating it a few years ago and it is very freeing. I don't let other people condition me to celebrate/participate in something I dont think is that great.

 

ehh. I haven't had a tree for the past few years, we (my dad and brother and I) won't be visiting with the extended family this year, we're completely non-religious... Don't mind giving gifts, but don't really want any... And I've gotta cook the big dinner by myself, for only three people, for one day that none of us cares too much about.

It's not just you. I could care less about Christmas, besides getting time off.

 

you're developing just right. it's pretty normal.

just don't let it slide into that lonely boredom thing. donate some time to a worthy cause. it's good for you and good for everyone around you.

i'm gonna get my daughter involved in some stuff through her school. they have a commmunity service club. she adores that sort of thing. last year when we were donating all those extra presents, kai was walking on AIR. and she was just 5. she shoulda been crying that she didn't get to keep all the cool stuff. not her, though. smiles a mile wide.

 

no it's not you. i think it's definitely christmas.

something must be happening to it.

 

hopefully it's going back to being less about what you get and more about the human need for gathering and supporting each other through the long, dark winter with parties and comfort food.

 

i never get presents. we dont really celebrate christmas but i like the lights in the big stores.

 

christmas is rubbish, its cancelled this year in our house.. i haven't felt xmassy since the illusion of santa dissolved when i was 6.

 

i lost my christmas spirit many many years ago.

 

I hope Charlie Brown comes and saves Christmas spirit...!

 

I just tripped him so it could still be awhile.

 

Is that code for laced his Hi-C with some acid..?

 

the big round headed boy will be buggin out by sundown

 

If the pic doesn't show up I will cry..

Anywho, holidays are whatever you make them out to be, there is no definition of what these holidays are supposed to be and or mean to you..

 

I've got no kind of xmas spirit either, but it's all because of my fear of failing the exams

 

When do holidays start there ?

 

22nd of Dec, I'm having my first exam on Thursday (18th of Dec) and then I've got six exams during January.
I'm pretty sure I won't pass them.

 

I'm starting going back to classes on Monday. I'll finally be busy again
I really, REALLY can't wait.

Oh man....six exams in Janjauary. That really sucks. Good luck !
Its almost the same system here. Fall/Winter semester ends in Janjauary and then exams in February

My school doesn't use that system, thank God

 

Janjanuary made my life brighter Nice one.
I kinda envy you ain't busy yet.. My first semester is obviously going to be my last semester as well... Geez.. six exams, crazy school, what the heck do they think? I'm gonna spend my whole xmas holidays with book in my hand... What a beautiful life...

 

I had a couple of bad years for holiday spirit. Too many deaths in the family...
It's better now.

I can certainly understand not celebrating a holiday that does not relate to you, but if it is only because you are feeling lonely or depressed, that is not good.
Bake some cookies, donate to charity...this time of year is when the less fortunate feel even worse. I gave to the toy drive and we give to the food bank on a regular basis. You could even donate time if you don't have the funds.
