To not bother with Christmas

First world problem here, I appreciate that. Interested to know if anyone else feels the same way? I used to adore Christmas but the past few years it’s just felt more and more like a chore and less and less enjoyable. This year I’ve been so busy with work and life that I haven’t had a chance to put the Christmas decorations up. The DC are older now, once they’d got their grubby mitts on their advent calendars they don’t seem bothered with the rest. No one has asked where the Christmas tree or decorations are. Now I’ve dragged everything out of the garage and put on a Christmas movie but no one is interested in helping me and I’m just exhausted with life! I really can’t be bothered. Christmas used to feel so magical but now? It’s just another chore. I always organise everything. All the special Christmas days out, the presents, the food. I just can’t face it anymore and I’m wondering if I didn’t do it, would anyone step in? Would anyone actually notice? Would anyone even care? I’m so over bearing this so-called ‘mother load.’ AIBU?
