Well yeah there's thanksgiving and other small holidays in between, but I'm just super excited about Christmas this year. I wanna maximize my holiday spirit, so what are some traditional or fun activities that I can do? Or post what you usually do.

Some obvious ideas:
-Watch Christmas movies
-Bake cookies
-Drink eggnog
-Snowball fights
-Decorate house and christmas tree
-Secret Santa/exchange gifts
-Listen to christmas songs
-Go iceskating or snowboarding
-Sing carols

What else?

Yes, I agree... 2 months of Christmas is too much. There are some here who don't do well at Christmas, and some who don't like what has been done to Christmas. And even the ones who do like Christmas may not want to try to maintain the spirit for two months.
I like your list though

I think your list is fairly complete and has the things you need for a nice Christmas, maybe just put it off for a little bit longer lol

Normally I'd say I am looking forward to Thanskgiving before Christmas but my brother (and family) will only be able be off for Thanksgiving so we are having "Chris-giving" this year, and looking forward to it. Except decking the halls in November is freaking me out having it all out so early. So Chortle, you'd love it here.

Oy, Christmas again, and I have such a limited budget, I want to be able to get my family nice things, but I can't get them much. I hope they don't mind.

usually i'm really prepared for christmas months before, though this year i'm not looking forward to it at all.

as the years have gone by, and my depression has got worse all these types of holidays mean nothing to me

i'm in the UK, and on saturday the channel that plays the christmas movies will start broadcasting- joy!

don't even know what i want this year gift wise- and i've usually got that sorted.

will play the christmas music (i love that) and on christmas eve watch the muppet's christmas carol as it's a tradition in our house since i was very little.

but apart from that, really nothing special for me
