G3vans Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well? 6 days to go now, that's just crazy. I haven't even finished my Christmas shopping yet! Normally for me there's a huge run up to Christmas and I can't help but notice that this month's been fairly quiet for me. I dunno, maybe it's the stress of school or me just getting older. Anyone else feel the same? Or am I just talking rubbish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echelonforever Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I feel that way too. A lot of people that i've talked have said the same thing. I'm not sure what it is.. I mean, hardly anyone has put up lights, decorations, anything. We just put our tree up last week, and my parents have hardly done any shopping! it's crazy.

indabisofmisery Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 i definitely feel like that! i have all my shopping done except for my mom, which is the biggest trip i'll have to do. pain in my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 You're talking rubbish Nah, it doesn't feel the same at all as you get older. Especially when you end up working until Christmas Eve and then BAM the next day is Christmas Day. Like very little preparation to get in the mood for Christmas. But definitely it feels like it's come out of nowhere this year. I think this year has gone by really fast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3vans Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Glad it's just not me then. It's really weird, I used to look forward to Christmas so much, but now it just feels like a well needed brake from studying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-Decoy Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hmm, I'm completely the opposite. We were really early in getting our tree up, and I had my shopping done a few days ago. I've been waiting for xmas for so long, even now it seems ages away.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABsxo. Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 aye, it does feel odd this year. im a bit of a grump - i dont tend to like this time of year aha. cannot wait for '09 though, since '08 has been rather shite for my person.

arrrrr x matey Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 i used to love this time of year, but since my gpop died last year, none of us have really thought of holidays the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3vans Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 i used to love this time of year,but since my gpop died last year, none of us have really thought of holidays the same Sorry to hear. My grandfather dies earlier this year too. He was diagnosed with cancer and was told he's be lucky to see 2008. He lives in Wales you see, and we only get to visit him for a week every summer. We did however go to visit after Christmas last year, and he was still there. He was fighting it so hard, he looked much better than he actually was. That's one thing I admired about him. Unfortunately he passed away in the summer, and it was hard to take. He said he'd lived a long full life, and that the only thing he would regret would be leaving my nan on her own. I'd never had a relative pass away before that, so I didn't know how it would feel. Now that I do know what happens, I'm going to make sure I cherish all the time I spend with family, because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Komomaan Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Awws you two . But yeah, Christmas seems a bit different this year. We still haven't done our christmas shopping yet either, and te christmas tree is still unpacked and non decorated somewhere in the hallway. In our street they have put up lights and trees since the beginning of December though, but then again... what do you expect from where I'm living... I do have a very good feeling about Christmas this year and I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
