The pretty lighted displays and shiny decorations now seem like a brave attempt to make a tiresome, grey, dangerous and unforgiving world seem exciting, beguiling, charming and full of love and goodwill.
This year the stores played the music so low I could hardly hear it. I don't know what that was about.

I feel very much the same way. I went into a depression right at Christmas Day, when the anticipation of Christmas is over. For me it's the time before Christmas that makes me feel good. Then when it comes and goes, my feeling sinks. As of now I'm getting used to Christmas being over. But then I would get that sinking feeling back again when New Years is over. I hate New Years Eve.
I've noticed that I have not heard as much Christmas music this year as in the past. I hardly heard it in the stores and it seemed like the radio stations didn't play Christmas music. I remembered that I used to hear Christmas music on the radio just shortly after Thanksgiving; and then it would go on and on. Not this year.
