Idk, personally I haven't felt "the spirit of christmas" or anything that actually made it uniquely special. Anyone else feel the same?

    I get it by proximity to my sister's family, but yeah, once the new generation enter the picture it's really nice to see innocent knuckleheads getting to enjoy the thing. Good on you for making the effort for the kids. Shit does bring back the nostalgia.

    I bought obscure cakes that only my sister and I know the meaning of from when we were single digit aged. Shits special, even if only for the high water marks left by christmasses past. It's a good time to reflect and remember that stuff.

    *all with the caveat that I recognise we were lucky to have some good formative experiences, I recognise that this is one of the toughest times for a huge number of people and I hope all our comrades on here who have to endure this time with gritted teeth make it through to the new year unscathed.
