This Christmas was horrible. My husband told me my Christmas spirit was coming out of me and I kept throwing it out in the garbage, and I think he may have been right. Never in my life I have been as blasé about this holiday as I was this year. I think there are a few reasons for this:
-This year, the holiday season had no spiritual meaning for me. I feel dead inside to the point that I can't rejoice at the thought of a little baby Jesus. I usually love Christmas, but our new priest definitely did a great job turning me off our church!
-I HATE SANTA!!! I hate pretending he exists, and I can't wait to tell our kids the truth. I want to tell the truth, while my husbands pushes for believing as long as possible. I hate Santa!
-This year, we had no family AND no friends around. Everyone had plans this year, even the neighbours across the road. EVERYONE. At least Rosa enjoyed her first turkey dinner!
-A nasty cold doesnt help.
-And being awaken at 2am every night for a week... and sometimes also at 4, 5 and 6 o'clock! :S
Now, I have a year to recover my Christmas spirit. I might have to attend a new church or something. I really can't stand the new priest!

(((hugs))) I so hear what you are saying.
We too have no family or friends to celebrate Christmas with as they are all busy with their own families etc. It was difficult the first couple of years, but it gets easier every year as we make our own new traditions. This year was the first year we were really looking forward to it and to spending it with just us.
whats wrong with the new priest?
I found it hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year too so you are not alone. I have just felt awful since getting back from my dad's funeral.
Next year is another year.
Darn!!! I feel so bad I didn't call you in the little I had for myself in the day. The idea was there, I just thought you'd be too busy... I should have listened to the little voice inside! Merry Christmas Sister!
Sending Hugs and love .. but no kisses cause I am sick... .I thought that your dad was down for christmas?
