How much do we rely on the outside to give us that Christmas feeling? Inside my everyday house it still feels everyday. Do I need to turn on the TV, go to the store, listen to the radio? It seems like I used to get that Christmas-y feeling on my own and the outside influences only reinforced it.
Perhaps it's just that I am getting older. It's been four years since my dad died and so a lot of the nostalgia part is gone for good and that is really sinking in.
The commercialism is over the top. Everyone is saying it ... and it's true.
And really, I think for the above two reasons, the magic of it all is just gone for me. It's like after I went to Universal Studios and saw how the movies are made. The special effects just aren't so special anymore.
Perhaps it will be different once December arrives. After all, it's still just November! (Ever the optimist, I am.)
