The good news is it is not just you. The bad news is that means we are both just getting old -_-
To be honest you could have read my mind, or at least paraphrased my feelings on the whole holidays thing. It is a shame because as a child I used to love Christmas, but now it is so commercialised the pressure of finding the perfect gift ruins the joy go giving.
As much as I hate to admit... you are right... we are getting old!!! It certainly makes me feel better that I am not alone in feeling this way. I don't want to sound like a bitter, cynical old woman but oh well, if thats what I sound like so be it! Lol
It certainly would be nice to just forget about the presents and everyone be fine with just spending time with their loved ones. I know no greater gift than that anyway.
Suffering is easier to take when you know others suffer with you ... lol
