A Christmassy thread for those not ‘feeling it (yet)’? 🎄

It’s a bright, dry Christmas Eve morning. The place is a mucky tip and I still have some grocery shopping to do. And wrap the presents. And my Christmas cake and pudding lovingly made (and full of booze) by my sister have gone missing with the couriers...

Just not ‘feeling it’ this year...

I'm resigned to not feeling it this year! It's odd because I'm really excited, just don't have that warm fuzzy festive feeling. Probably because I've been on furlough since march and I've spent nearly all of the run up staring at the inside of my house, we missed most of the stuff we usually do which puts me in the festive spirit. Today is being spent decorating a gingerbread house, listening to Christmas music and snuggling down together with a Christmas movie. Even if I don't get 'the feeling' we're still going to have a lovely Christmas!

DH is trying to lure me to go to the park to make me run around like lunatic elephant. Oh for some rain to snow...

I'm not feeling it at all. Been planning since october to make sure that despite the crazy we still have an awesome xmas.

But I came down with coronavirus on sunday so now we cant do the stuff planned and the stuff we could do I just dont have the energy for. So it's been movies all day.

Do we think wine is good for a sore throat?

Wine is medicinal.

I'm going for Baileys. Waiting for covid results and just not feeling it.

Not feeling it either. Am so very tired. Fibromyalgia and my father's recent death have left me exhausted.

Not really feeling it yet. Still shrugging off the after-effects of COVID back in October so feeling rough, DS is somewhat overwhelmed with excitement and is hiding under a blanket (he has ASD) and hubby has been working all day. Largely just been me and the dog...

Iam not feeling it either. First year I’ve ever had Christmas Eve off and Boxing Day but just can’t get into the Christmas spirit this year

I’ve put the radio on and am doing a Christmas jigsaw while wearing a Santa hat.
It’s helping a bit!

Just finished wrapping. Managed to ping a disc so (painkillers) couldn’t even wrap with a bottle of Port to keep me company!

Merry Christmas - hope everyone has a peaceful, healthy and happy day!
