I feel your pain. This is the first year I've not been that bothered. It's not just us. It's dying, and in my opinion political-correctness is to blame. There are little to no local or public decorations of christmas anymore because it's offensiveGrimfesta said:
I read in some god-awful paper the other day about some family who were told to take their christmas tree away from their visible flat window because it might make non-christians feel "uncomfortable". That just ruined my spirit. I'm a total athiest and total non-believer of christianity but I still love Christmas and the few hours of magical splendour.
I know it's not just PC to blame. It's also our age.
Worst Christmas I've had so far, mainly because I couldn't fall asleep last night. Not to say it totally sucked, but I still wasn't as happy as I could've been.
I just realized that "The Polar Express", a great Christmas tale, essentially says that Christmas is about gifts and leaves out Jesus entirely.
On topic, this Christmas was bad for most, due to the recession and all, but I still tried to cherish the times I have with my family. My great-uncle is a REALLY interesting guy!

Bah, just wait, next year you'll be all "I didn't feel all Christmassy this year, it blew" and the cycle repeats itself.
That's what happens when you get older, you forget stuff...
If anything the Hannukah spirit is low, hell it's the 6th day or something and I don't feel no jollyness-ness or anything. Never have for the past 15 bazillion Hannukahs, why start now?

I know that I'm growing up and the magic of the season is lost over time no matter how much you try to compensate, but I really did feel like other people simply weren't feeling it either. When I was young I was used to seeing Christmas decorations everywhere and people dressed up in Santa costumes walking the streets of my town centre, but this year only a couple of shops had the occasional ribbon of tinsel strewn across the otherwise baron establishment, and I didn't see one person (aside from myself) dressed in the seasonal attire.
Might just be me but I did think this year was a lot less Christmassy than usual.

I don't think it really felt like Christmas this year. Never really talked about it with much of my friends. But I've had some fun family get-to-getters.
It didn't feel like it did as a child. It seemed to me like an ordinary day almost.Grimfesta said:
I love how Christmas trees came from the pagan(?) religion of just bringing a tree into your home and planting it into your dirt floor to keep it warm.Nivag said:
I think banning anything like decorations is stupid anyway, but I draw the line at retarded.
Not only that but they also fail to keep their characters out of uncanny valley.Auron555 said:
I never saw it though, but I don't want to.
That is very stupid, and that's coming from a Jew. I could care less about some dumb tree in your house, do what you want.Nivag said:
But aside from my joke comment, I really think this is part of the whole reccession/depression/economical crisis that's going on like someone said earlier. Everybody is just on edge about this whole thing.
christmas eve was nice cos i met up with the cool side of the family christmas day was sh*t tho...
due to the crap side of the family...
i think christmas is losing a bit of it's excitement for me, maybe cos i've grow up or maybe cos my wife is always in another country at the time...
either way, i think it all started diying out the instant i found out that santa was actualy made by the coca-cola company way way back in the early days (red and white anyone?)

its because there was no christmass decorations or stuff. because saying "merry Christmas" is now like going out and calling everyone a ******, its "considered" offensive when no one gives a shit. thus removing all of the Christmas cheerthatstheguy said:
