Hear me out.
I didn't enjoy Christmas as a child, particularly. My parents - mother really - did try. We had traditions: putting the tree up, a family party on Christmas Eve, a Sunday School party. I think I enjoyed them, but I found the whole thing a bit 'much'. I remember I'd get all wound up and anxious and overwrought, wanting the toys now, not wanting to have to wait weeks.
Then when I was a bit older it just made me sad as it wasn't celebrated then.
Now, obviously we do celebrate Christmas. We buy presents, have a tree and put cards up, visit the Christmas markets, but that's it.
Reading these threads always makes me think I am missing something!
