I really don't care for the commercialism of Christmas & I don't go with the flow. Why do you? You don't have to if you don't want to & you'll probably be a happier person in the long run by being true to yourself. Good luck (I was going to say "Merry Christmas" but then I thought not!)
 
I dont the like perrenial commercialism months before Christmas but some of the TV ads are very good

I like putting the tree up in the conservatory with the help of my 9 year old Granddaughter and get a buzz when my Son goes up in the loft and gets it down every year and sorting the lights out and hope they work first time!
 
I enjoy Christmas but all of the Christmas themed movies, television specials, commercials, etc... wear on my nerves by the time Christmas actually arrives.

For me, Christmas has become a quiet day filled with memories and a few seasonal treats.

I love to see Christmas come and at the same time, I'm relieved to see it go.

 
I like Christmas. Most people are in a better mood. I have 2 grandchildren and I like celebrating with them. I already have my lights up (not turned on at the front of the house yet but soon). It's dark so long so I have blue lights along the fence in the backyard and they are on now. Solstice for me starts on Dec. 21 and it's also my birthday. I like to go to the church and listen to carol singers and I can listen to my Christmas music now. As for the man in the red suit; it's ok for the kids, I guess.

I get a bit tired of all the commercial hoopla leading up to the Holiday but really look forward to the family gathering. We don't have our "Christmas" on the 25th. We've moved it to the 29th this year when everyone can attend. With all of our kids married, about half the grandkids as well, and a few others with fiance's, it's tough for everyone running from in-law to family, etc.

We gave up and moved it a less stressful day. If all are healthy, there should be 30 - 35 of us all gathering in Connecticut. (We'll try and keep the noise down so as not to bother RadishRose, who resides a few town away.)

It's truly a blessing for my wife and I and we'll stay over for a couple of days before returning home. The rest of the family makes it a day trip. Sadly, the only one missing is a grandson who lives with his wife in Washington state, just over the border from Portland, Oregon.
 
When I was still working, I looked forward to flying on Christmas Eve and have many fond memories of those days. So many happy people and families as my passengers going here and there to be with their families. I felt so fortunate to be able to share in their joy.

Before the flights, I would offer a little boy and girl to come into the cockpit and sit in the Captain’s seat and put my hat on their small head. Mommy or Daddy would want to take their picture and they never had to ask them to smile.
 
The beauty of the season is what lites me up...driving thru our little town day or night to see the decorations and lit up stores and houses brings me enjoyment, along with seeing the grandkids usually during the xmas week when the moms and dads are off work. My grown daughter will also be flying in Dec. 6th from Cambodia till the 27th. Both of us will be back and forth to one of my son and fam's place about an hour away. We're planning on going to a xmas light fest at Kings Dominion (I might be pushed around in a wheelchair since all that walking is not possible for me) then hanging out at a ski resort having some drinking spirits! ❄ 🍻
Ho Ho Ho everyone! 🎅
