I mean as I've gotten older. Each year my brother says, "Man, this doesn't even feel like Christmas." We do almost all of the same stuff, but it still doesn't feel like it used to. In 01' we had a pretty dramatic family tragedy happen a few days before Christmas which kinda stopped it for that year, I wonder if it's that or if it's just because we're not all at the house and kids anymore?
Anyone think the same thing?
Do you think this is why we try so hard to make every Christmas so awesome?
Am I just crazy and completely wrecking this thread?  |
I'm with you on this. I also think that there is way too much pressure to go out and spend money that you don't have. That alone is enough to wreck the holiday spirit. I personally enjoy having a simple Christmas. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on gifts and decorations to really enjoy the holiday. The best Christmases that I remember was spending time with my family, and remembering what Christmas is all about.
I know some people will disagree with me here, but I think that Christmas has become way to commecialized. It seems like it has beome nothing more than an excuse to max out every credit card you own.
Give me a nice Christmas tree, a few gifts under the tree, people that I enjoy spending time with, and some egg nog with rum and I will be very happy.
Then again, I have always appreciated the simple things in life.
