I donīt know where this should be posted, but since I am BP, then here it is.
Christmas used to be a joyous time. Just donīt care about it anymore. I used to decorate like Clark Griswold, but no thereīs no passion for it anymore. Divorce and other life situations changed all that. I have a daughter that I buy presents for, and I try to be all ho, ho, ho for her, but itīs getting harder. Family gives me crap about it because I donīt have it in me to conform. Maybe I am just a selfish old Ebenezer. Anyone else? My Xmas Song - Last edited by Anonymous52228; Nov 29, 2015 at 05:08 PM. |

I feel much the same. I have a closet full of thick beautiful greenery, a huge tub of angels from all over the planet, various other decorations but haven't used them for years. I tried watching the Christmas shows on tv and couldn't. Bah humbug

It's been just my wife and me for years-- no kids and what family we have left all far away. Christmas has been just another day for us for a long, long time. I just try to remind myself that the season is about giving, goodwill, and compassion, and try not to get too cynical about the rampant materialism. But it's definitely a spectator sport for me.

It is not what it was. Getting new pjs, and one toy was a big thing
Now it is money, money, money We've lost what it is all about - kindness and compassion

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
