I have been wondering about this...especially this year.  Does it really feel like Christmas?  Usually I enjoy getting an Xmas tree...and going shopping...and wrapping up gifts and such...for friends and family..but this year...totally different feeling.  It does not feel like the holiday season - nor is there any motivation to decorate my house.  It really feels surreal.  Does it feel like a holiday season to you?

1 I completely agree. It certainly does not feel very merry this holiday season and I can't quite put my finger on as to why that is. We don't even have a tree this year! For me it's either because of the economy or relationships, then again we did just get a year supply of snow overnight and more to come. In any case I would like to wish you and yours a merry christmas and happy new years!

2 Thanks and you too!

Yeah!  I hear you.  Well the economic troubles have not affected me (knock on wood) but I don't have a tree this year and never even had a desire to get one.  I do need to get more Hanukkah candles today.  I am just looking forward to 4 days off...for Xmas and another 4 days for New Years. 

Wow you guys got snow...very cool!!!

I agree, this doesnt feel like christmas this year.

I have the tree, am doing the baking.. And it feels forced.

You know more reasons than anyone.  Economy blows, so we really didn't do shopping.. And the situation with our daughter. Its 6 days before Christmas.. or is it 5? We havent heard from her in weeks. 

So yeah.. Ummm lets hope for a speedy year to make next year better
