Does it feel like Christmas to you?

[jadillac]

This might be the most unChristmas season I've ever felt.

Maybe bc I'm working so much and never see the sunlight until the weekends, or maybe bc I'm now older as an adult.

But when I was a kid, there were so many toys and video games to ask for. I'd have a loooong Christmas list of games, toys etc. I didn't get all of it, but just the joy of walking into a toy store, or a Target electronics section and seeing endless options seems lost.

Nowadays, kids can ask for.. ..an updated phone, and what, a PS5? How many games are even on ps5? Sega and Playstation seemingly had endless games to make a Christmas list of.

No need for traditional toys bc a phone does almost everything....which I def understand & appreciate. But compared to what I experienced growing up(and i wasn't rich growing up), it's like a totally different holiday now.

Maybe it's the pandemic gloom, mental gloom from the negative news, maybe a combination of everything I've mentioned above . But It's Christmas eve and I'm just like

. Holiday movies don't feel like there's any soul behind them. Where's the Home Alone, or Jingle All the Way, Bad Santa, etc?

The vibe/spirit is lacking all the way around.

Anyway, Y'all brehs & brehettes have a great day and Merry Christmas!

For me, it does feel like Christmas. Maybe because I will be spending time w/ my significant other & her family later on today and she will spend time w/ me & my loved one the next day...

Haven't felt this way in a long time.

I guess life was simpler back when I was a kid/teen and got lots of gifts, but now that I am much older, spending quality time with people who want to be around me is much more meaningful to me...

Happy Holidays OP!

Hell no. Haven't felt like Christmas in years
Especially out here in Texas, it still feels like late summer.

Nah.

But yes, Christmas is greatly for kids and aimed at such.

But I look back on the older adult ppl from when I was a kid, they had more holiday cheer/vibes than adult ppl do now.

I don't see ppl wearing holiday colors or Christmas sweaters, decorating their cars etc etc

I just feel like many ppl are overly stressed and or sadder nowadays than yrs past.

Glad to hear this breh.

holidays are definitely more about family and loved as you get older

No…

[JadeB]

I forgot it was Christmas half the time this month. And yeah, it does get more of a family focus when you get older.

 

[Crizzy]

Yeah, my lil girls are up now acting like it's Christmas already. They can't wait. Our son is older so he's not in it like they are just wanna get whatever and call it a day. Wife got everything under the tree and we been doing those holiday movies for a week now.
