Is it just me or has the Christmas Magic become lost? To me, it doesn't feel like Christmas and I'm not really excited for Christmas day like I used to be when I was younger. I always wonder and think, is it because I'm now grown up and no longer believe in Santa? I know Christmas isn't supposed to be about what you get, but each year now I generally don't have anything to open, because you get to open Christmas Cards before Christmas day, so there's no element of surprise, wondering what I've been bought. Obviously, I get money sent to me and I can spend it on what I want, but somehow it seemed to be more of a thrill to recieve something actually wrapped up.
I usually look forward to spending time with my family. Each year I will have around 2/3 Christmas dinners, one I will have Christmas Day with my Mum and brother. My other brother is going to be here this year for the first time in a while so that's a nice thing, then my Grandma and Mum's boyfriend will come over for Boxing Day to have a proper Christmas Dinner and then at some point in the week before New Year's we will have another dinner going over to my Aunts with my Grandma being there too, but the thing is it's supposed to be about family, and my Aunt has a co-worker join us, where the majority of us don't even like her so I'm not really looking forward to that as much as I used to.
I'm also guessing that fact this year I've been working a lot, know I'm working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day doesn't help matters, because I feel I am likely to not be around when everyone else is eatting and I will feel somewhat awkward tucking into my Christmas dinners when everyone else have finished.
Each year the magic of Christmas ebbs away just a little bit more for me. I try and embrace it, like I am one of the few that will wear a Christmas hat at work, but i'm just not really feeling that Christmassy!
How about you guys? Is Christmas still wonderful for you? Or is it just another day of the year?
Let's hear your thoughts!
