The older I get the less I find Christmas attractive. I am not sure at what point in time Christmas was more about money than it was about family, friends, and "the spirit of giving," but I am over it.
At the Carnny house, we would rather have friends and family over for dinner, drinks, and laughter. A solid evening of time with the people we love and appreciate is the best gift we can simultaneously give and receive.
In the meantime, we hide during the month of December while the rest of society acts as if the sky is falling.

I was very over Christmas until I had children. To see the spirit and magic of the season through their eyes is so special. I think that if/when you have kids the holiday will seem so much more magical than it is now. That is just my take on it. I am with you on the spending time with friends and family!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a child's perspective on the world can drastically alter our own. I didn't realize this until I had nieces and nephews. I can only imagine the effect of your own child's experiences...
