I was going to comment on another post but I thought I'd post it like this instead.
I have seen so many posts about how people aren't "feeling" Christmas this year and I think that some people should have a big reality check. People moan that they can't be bothered to get the tree out of the loft " I can't be bothered" or "my ds is a teen now so only wants money and he's taken the magic out of it" or "I resent spending money on presents" or moaning that they are woken up at 4am in the morning because their little one is too excited to sleep. I could go on and on.
I'm sure there are thousands if not millions of people out there that would love to have that feeling of just "can't be bothered" instead of spending the festive season, alone or having just lost someone dear to them. There are are people that are on the streets that would love to have a "loft to get their tree out of", people who are being kicked out of their homes due to no fault of their own.
Some people will never experience the joy of a little one running into their bedroom at 4am in the morning too giddy to sleep because of Santa or having a teenager that deep down, will always be excited for Christmas.
Christmas is what WE make it, WE make the magic of it and fair enough if your not a Christmas person but I think people should make the most of what they have and count themselves very very lucky because one year you might look back on all the wasted Christmases and wish that you had made of an effort while you could.
So merry Christmas to everyone out there, I hope you make the most of this lovely time of year.
