Do you look forward to Christmas?
Not so much the commercialization, but the celebrating with family and friends. Experiencing the magic thru kids eyes. Donating to worthy causes.

Sounds like you are quite busy leading up to Christmas.
I love butter tarts and shortbread this time of year.
Got friends staying with us this year.
I try to work the actual holidays. Triple time on Dec 25, double time and a half on Dec 26 & Jan 1.

I'm off work every year from a few days before Christmas until the day after New Years..
My husband works in oilfield services, so they are busy for winter drilling and servicing season..
He often works between Christmas and January 1.

Christmas has lost its flavor with me as of late. Too much commercialization, as early as September. As far as family, most mine has either moved or passed away, so its not as special as it use to be. I'll still get a real tree after my son's bday, mostly for him. Wont be multiple dinners this year, prolly only at my gf's mom's house. I hear my in-laws are going out this year, and my dad passed last month so wont be there. Man, gonna miss out on several food goodies this year. I'll have to make some of my usuals though. I always make fudge.

Xmas is about giving and being kind...enjoying activities and attending community events.
Lo's birthday and xmas are close to eachother so it can be a costly time for me. Instead I take her shopping, starting now up until the end of the year. She gets to pick out some items she wants and enjoys them thru the season. I find opening a bunch of gifts one day is extremely overwhelming for a child and by the time they are done, they generally forget most of the stuff they got and a lot of it just gets shoved off into a corner never to be used or enjoyed at all...such a waste.
Lo got to go to disney world as her bday and xmas gift...she will be getting a new phone in a few weeks and ive already bought her some clothes and there will be other small items she is allowed to pick out. Want no, waste not. Everything I purchase goes to use, not for show.

I dont buy gifts and pile them under the tree. Im not a materialistic person and nor I am one of those ridiculous fb person who just has to post a picture of my fabulous tree with 500 gift piled under it. That doesnt represent xmas.Quote from: "Berry Sweet"

Yes. My dad is a banana head when it comes to gifts but my mom (Lo's grandma) buys her many things. Some family members send gift cards or packages.
Nobody on her dads side of the family buy her anything. They never have.

Perhaps a person with no Christmas spirit?

Lol, you're right! One thing I do, is if its something kinda expensive that he wants or that I want to get him, then he knows the other day will be something small. Still get him something both times though lol. I also usually wait til after his bday to do the tree.

Clueless, kinda. He doesn't help with anything. My mom does everything, the buys gifts, wraps them, cooks dinner, serves it (I come over and help and I also make a few dishes myself, and same with other people)...he just sits back and talks about how he paid for everything...its getting old cause Im not a child, Im a grown woman now...its a little upsetting how he just doesn't get it.

I wish my neighborhood got more trick or treaters, I would love to spookify the place and scare the hell out of people lol.
On a side note, cant we go back to celebrating Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November (U.S.), and Christmas in December? I hate seeing Christmas stuff as early as September.
