I remember when I was a wee lad, and the very though of Christmas would excite me to no end. I would shake with glee every time I removed a loop from my "Counting Tree." I believed in magic, and that Santa Claus shit. But, now I don't care as much as I used to. There isn't something that I really want this year. This year is different.
[spoiler]Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air[/spoiler]
In all seriousness, does anyone else think this Christmas isn't going to be as enjoyable as other Christmas.
it's been decreasing every year for years

Maybe we should all take drugs to make Christmas even better! amirite or amirite
If we were all children again, life would be perfect.
RUN AWAY
I remembered when I was a kid I wished Christmas looked like what was on television and on advertisement.
Over the years my Christmases weren't celebrated because my families would fight with each other and we're extremely poor to afford anything.
I tended to appreciate the small things instead, like sharing and appreciation instead of the materialistic side of commercialized Christmas.
This Christmas I'm probably going to attend this orphanage and spread happiness to the kids there with some other people, it'll probably be the most meaningful Christmas I ever had.

Your mesolimbic pathway's dopamine levels are deficient from lack of rewards from over the years causing you to feel indifferent towards materialistic goods.

Today's your lucky day, because I have just the cure for you! Simply dunk your head in the nearest toilet and pull the lever.
Another gay man! Hoorah!

Then the toilet would then be the one doing the sucking? Is that your point?
Are you really gay?

Not everything houdini says has deeper meaning.
When I was nine my parents stopped giving me gifts for christmas and just gave me $250 every year. They also forced me to put it in the bank every year until I was fourteen, and by that time they were giving me $100. Seeing as my father did not have a job 6 out of the 12 months this year, I'll be lucky to get $50.
But it's ok, because me and my brother normally buy each other pretty neat gifts.

Yeah, Christmas has lost its magic. Pretty sure it's due to the fact that there's no surprise anymore, as I usually only ask for one or two things, like a game, and usually get them.
And while I'm talking about holidays that have lost their spark: Thanksgiving. I always loved going to my grandma's to see my cousins that I barely get to see, and we'd play hide and go seek in the basement, or play a board game, or go run around outside. But for the past two years, all they (the three cousins I like to hang out with) wanted to do was watch a movie. Not even a board game, or cards, which take no effort, really. No good movies either, just whatever my grandma has, which is Disney movies. Not that they're bad, but I've already watched them years ago. Also, last year, me and a few others were just standing outside under the tree we used to climb, and they youngest cousin (age 5 or something) said, "you guys are lame." It's amazing how truthful a statement from a five year old can be. We are lame, now.

Well, I lost my child-like excitement for Christmas about four years ago, I think, when I was a sophomore in high school. And from then on Christmas was pretty unimportant, and I felt nothing for it.
But this year, I seem to be getting some of the excitement back again. Maybe because I am matured and realize that I like it for different reasons now. It's no longer the gifts, but the joyful atmosphere and seeing family and stuff

I somewhat agree with this, except I have always somehow managed to get excited on Christmas Eve night and in the morning.

It seems like you're not as jaded as the rest of us?
I mean, Christmas has a tiny bit of a spark left for me, and that's all I expect from it.
i love christmas time and always enjoy it a lot.
