I'm not sure why this year, as opposed to year past, I'm really bummed the Christmas/Holiday season is almost over. I was doing stuff around the house last night and realized it was after Midnight, and thus Christmas Eve.. which meant it was really all almost done. The new years week is just the denouement, and while it's nice, and can be fun, it's nothing compared to the craziness between Thanksgiving and now.
I suppose it's an effect of getting older, but this year just seemed to FLY by. We setup our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving (the horror!), and have had everything pretty much decorated the whole time. We did a daily "advent activity" calendar thing with the kids, where there was a different thing to do each day (Bake cookies, watch Elf, go to the snow, etc) so that also seemed to make it go quick I guess, but damn.
I loved Christmas/Holidays as a kid, but then went through a phase where I didn't like it at all, it just seemed ridiculous and over the top and too many commitments and all that, when I just wanted free time to myself to play the sweet Q4 video game releases. Now that I'm of an advanced age, with little kids, I am really appreciating the whole season in a new light, and it's making me actually sad it's coming to an end.
Anyone else feeling it?
