Holiday Spirit

[shellb]

Anyone having trouble getting in the holiday spirit?

 

I just can't seem to get excited for the holiday. I usually have my lights up by now, present bought and about to put up my tree. I should be excited to have 2 weeks of vacation, the DIY projects for the wedding I have planned and the fact its a little over 4 months to the wedding.

 

So folks what are you doing to get into the spirit of the season?

Oh, I'm totally not feeling it. With just getting back from the wedding on Tuesday i'm more worried about sending thank yous and posting pics. I'm trying to still put away my Halloween/Thanksgiving stuff! This weekend we are getting our tree and gonna decorate so maybe that will help. Also need to make some cookies. Xmas cards just aren't gonna happen...

It is my favorite time of the year and like any other year especially this one, I can say the same.

 

I will make it on a very small scale this year, a small tree and a few decorations. We have a 2-yr old so no need to rob him of the whole experience. Maybe closer to it, we will all feel more merrier!!!

I am feeling the same way. I am in my final exam week of a grad program, so I haven't had much time to enjoy anything at all, let alone getting into the Holiday spirit. FI actually made me put up my tree and lights last weekend because I am usually very into it and he could tell I wasn't this year. I think he was trying to get me into the festive mood I am usually in by Halloween

 

Hopefully after these exams are complete (and the weather here in NC gets cold again) it will feel more like the Holidays!
