We are WELL into Christmas season and I'm JUST starting to feel "Christmassy", whatever that is. Usually I'm in from about the 5-10th or so. Are other people in the same boat or is my isolation from working from home just a real thing?

We JUST put our tree on Sat. That's a sin for some, I'm sure. My wife and I are both not feeling the season. Is that elsewhere or just at our little chunk of the world?
 
I feel you... My wife and I got sick with COVID the past couple of weeks so Christmas had to wait in my household as well. We're putting up the tree tomorrow when my kids and grand-kids will be over. I'm looking very forward to it. I'm hoping I feel more Christmasy after that.
 
We put up our (real) tree the week before turkey day this year. Then I did lights and the Grinch cut-outs (2 of them)... so you could say I've felt Christmas-y for a whiiiile

Maybe it has to do with your hometown and past events... 😁
 
I’d love to have the Christmas spirit. I just don’t. My dad died over Christmas many years ago, but it has really hit me hard the last couple. Seems to be headed that way again this year. Can’t seem to shake it. It doesn’t help that I hate how we spend our Christmas Eve and day. I’m pretty miserable twice over and that doesn’t help anyone I’m around. I’ll put on a smile and fake my way through it. 😬

That's a challenging situation that I'm sure I can't relate to. Sorry for your loss. I just had a 47 yr old neighbor pass this past week. Kids are 17, 15 and 11. Can't be easy
 
Just couldn't get to it this year. The only thing I bought was an abominable snowman throw pillow....so I have that out. Seems pretty good. .
 
I love being around my family. I hate the material nature of Christmas. This year will be the first without my brother and I think it is going to be really hard on my mother and my nephew. So I have mixed feelings all around. My wife loves shopping, I mean Christmas so she has been her usual jovial self and that really helps.
 
I'm a Christmasey Mother Effer. Myself.

Been shopping for the huge feast I'm going to prepare for my family, my in-laws and two sets of future in-laws, and wrapping presents all day so far today and just find myself alone and smiling for no particular reason. I'm especially looking forward to serving my dogs prime rib on Christmas day.

Get with the Holiday Spirit sad sacs!
