Well its the night before christmas and i dont care, i dont know why. For some reason this year i couldnt get in the christams spirit. You know that one day where it just hits you on how close christmas is and you just get STOKED, well that hasnt happened to me this year. I just dont feel christmasy and its ticking me off because i want to. i like the feeling i usually get around this time of year but this year its not happening and i feel like a scrouge.

please NS, do you have any tips to help me get in the christmas spirit. Im desperate.

listen to August Burns Red's version of Carol of the Bells 100 times.
christmas music does it for me.

i kinda hear you, i'm never the person who has a seizure over christmas, it's a fun holiday but i don't go crazy. i got back from CO last night so i've been stoked about skiing pow for the last 5 days and not about christmas. there's also nothing i really want this year so i'm partially un-stoked. also christmas music makes me want to kill myself, especially jazz versions of classic christmas songs, fuck i hate that
i usually get more stoked when i wrap presents, i was away so i didn't get to put the lights on the tree or anything so that took away a lot of it

In west linn (near Portland, OR) we have been getting the biggest snow here in like 40 years so that has me pretty stoked. We actually have enough to build jumps in the street and the most I've ever seen here before this is like 5 inches.

I'm not really in the spirit either.  This year has kind of been depressing with my brother and sister both at college now, and my mom and grandma decorated the house while i was gone so i couldn't help out. It's also pouring down rain around here, so no white christmas.  I guess as you get older christmas loses the novelty, because you get a couple gifts that are actually practical rather than a bunch of little meaningless things that you grow out of in a year. It's kind of depressing :\

I think the biggest thing for me is just going into stores in your downtown, watching families together, having family dinners, and christmas lights on houses always get me riled up for christmas.  except this is my first year away from home for it so im not overly stoked.

i am the exact same way. ive been off at school and been so damn busy i havent been able to take a second and realize what time it was. normally i get all hyphy over christmas and count down the days until the 25th, but this year i have yet to think about it once. my mom asked me what i wanted for christmas and i couldnt even think of anything to get gifted with. maybe im just getting a little to old for myself.

maybe i should listen to ludacrismas by ludacris to put me in the spirit

i'm not feeling very good about this christmas either. I'm with a family i've known for about 3 months, 10,000 miles away from my real family. Back home i'd get to be with my family and friends, decorate a realy christmas tree with decorations that actually mean something to us, not only stuff to make it look good. I would have the best dinner of the year, but here i'm having soup. Back home i'd be waken up by my brother and my sister and go watch lots of christmas movies on tv the whole morning. I can't even call home and talk to them, it costs a shitload of money just to dial their number....

Christmas suck and there is no shame in feeling that way.  The christmas spirit  is just a bunch of hype. These days its just an excuse to dump money into retailers pockets. Unless you are religious I really don't see the point.

Thank you for making sense.

Im all for the spending time with family and having good food and drink part of christmas, but the whole gift exchange stuff is kinda pointless past a certain age. This will be my second year not giving any gifts and asking for none in return, ahhhhhh so liberating.

It snowed all last night and has been snowing since and we have a good 25cm which im excited about ( but its about to get fucked for the 10mm of rain were getting) and i just finished helping my mom decorate like 100 or so christmas cookies ( i ate like half of them and pretty sure i have diabetis now) and im feeling more in the spirit

i kinda feel the same way.  all my friends tell me that im about as "grown up" as an 8 year old, but i cant get in the right state of mind lately.  idk, i feel really bad about it, but i think i might have grown out of christmas...

why do you need to be stoked on christmas? what I'm going to say may be a bit taboo but whatever.

we all know that x-mas comes from jesus and that whole religious thing. Well, how many of us still go to church and follow that stuff? And as for the season of giving... who decided that one? I don't see the connection between jesus and commercialism...

Now, this is a festive time for sure. Especially for us skier types. Hills are opening, snow is falling, everyone is happy... but for x-mas? I'm slowly making a movement to make winter solstice the new christmas. unlike christmas, which is full of controversy when looking into the meanings of it all, solstice is real, and I'm almost certain it has more power over us than x-mas ever will.
