Christmas has been and gone...It didn't seem the same this year....A bit subdued I thought....Not so "Christmasy". Did anybody else have the same feeling? Can I blame it on the recession?
Didn't seem much like Christmas to me either. I don't agree with all the manic food and present buying. Think if you have small children it is much better. As I get older Christmases get worse!!
I have got five little children and was super-duper organised this year so maybe the lack of last-minute, manic shopping was the thing that took the 'Christmassy' feeling away.
it was definately a muted affair where I live as well, a combination of recession, ailments and bad weather, there seemed to be no christmas cheer, more enforced stress, 3 of the neighbours didnt even bother sending cards to anyone
I have not felt one bit festive. I bought a few presents and we had a special dinner with a friend, but I did no cards, decorations or Christmas tree. I just don't see the point, to be honest, especially when I'm not even a Christian.
Think in general that there has been a lot of depressing things happening this year, perhaps more than usual.A lot of people are worried about their future , their homes, finances and the world in general, so maybe that could be a reason. But agree,it has been a bit subdued.Felt it was all a bit false this year.
