I never liked Christmas ~ even as a child, I disliked Christmas, cause my parents were always hung over from Christmas eve, which is REALLY when we celebrated christmas -- and we had to wait for our folks to come home from their partying to celebrate and they'd always be drunk.
Christmas is just depressing to me not just because of my childhood, but because I always feel my gifts are inadequate =-- and they usually are. No one gives me ideas as to what they want - I listen all year long for ideas. My kids are grown, and they are impossible to buy for. My granddaughter who is 15 is just as hard to buy for because she has just about everything she ever wanted. And I just don't have the money to spend anymore. Thru the years, my kids have needed genuine help so I've helped them -- but now I find that I can't afford much for Christmas this particular year.
Like Sunsetsunrise said - it's too darn commercial. It's too depressing. I'm going on strike!
