Not sure if I feel really bad saying it, but I'm sure over Christmas. I guess we were brought up that way. My Parents already took down their Christmas tree this morning! lol. I think if we visited more family members and vise versa, it would be never-ending... soo so many Primos y Tios out there, I tell ya.

The celebrations continue, don't get me wrong... but the whole jolly-wolly-good-cheer is gone and preserved in the memories of December, 2007.

I tend to be a little bit more distant around this time.

I can go back to being my grumpy self - watcha!' --->

I don't know about you all, but it just wasn't the same this year. Sort of like, we just went through the motions, like we weren't ready for it. I don't know, maybe it was just us. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my family, and I reallly was happy that we all got to be together for graduations, but sometimes I just felt like -Crap, I think it's time for everyone to go home, take a plate or two, pero ya time to go, see ya' later! Sounds mean doesn't it?!

I have to take a rain check on this years Christmas, since the only thing I enjoyed was the food. About six days before Christmas I started coming down with something, so between the doctors office, running around to get medicine, and being sick. I did not get time to really reflect on it. So I am officially celebrating Christmas until New Years day! :Clap:

for me, well, like i said on my blog, it just didnt feel like christmas at all! the only reason it felt like it was because i bought mi haijada nallely sus little presents and the other sobrinos too but specially nallely, but thats about the only reason. other than that, i didnt get into the mood, the food was good but then again its good every other time we go to my mother in laws. it just felt like any other long weekend at her house. so for me, no xmas at all.

Well, the 26nd is still christmas in The Netherlands: Second Christmas day.

To be honest, I can't yet be asked to take down the decorations. It's not like we have loads of tinsel and a big christmas tree. We have christmas-branches with lights and they do not look specifically christmassy. Just white twigs with lights on them. So I'll keep them around until the weekend after new years and the pack them in (carefully: one twig already snapped...).

I loooove Christmas but i have to agree that this year was just "different"!!! and I can't even honestly pin-point why...it was just not Christmas! But all in all it was good i guess. Family....friends.....presents.....GREAT food....the works.
but we still have our tree up.....the decorations out.....lights on the house....lol. i love the holiday spirit but......and it's not that i want it to continue to feel like Christmas but i'm just too lazy to take everything down....LOL.....

Buuuuut......i hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea it was difernt for me too..It still didnt even feel like xmas to me..not eben on the day..lol nose porque pero it jus did not feel right for me...

[font=Comic Sans MS] Our Christmas tree is still up, with candy canes and everything. I guess my family is too lazy to take it down.

Including me[/font]

I love Christmas its my favorite holiday, I especially love the Christmas lights, even though I missed really seeing them this year, because I was sick in bed. Easter is my second favorite holiday, with Thanksgiving my third. But regardless now that I am feeling better, The Christmas Spirit is still with me, sweet,very,very, sweet!

^ I with Fsolis. I love christmas and everything it represents. I love family gatherings, i love the christmas lights. I love the feeling of going into a Catholic church and feeling the spirit of christ and from everyone in that church.
This year it seemed like everyone around me wasnt in the spirit.
