I don't like Christmas.

I don't dislike Christmas but I wouldn't care if the 'tradition' evaporated either. To me it's just a winter day like any other, really.

I love it when it's finally here but right now I feel like I'm standing in front of an approaching train.

I'm fed up with people in shops asking me if I'm ready for Christmas? How can anyone be ready for Christmas on the 8th December? tchangry

Bah Humbug!!!

I wish I understood why I dislike it so much. We have children and grandchildren and are really happy. As Christmas approaches I get a knot in my stomach. I have tried to think back to my childhood to find out what the problem is but nothing stands out.

I don't like the build up with all the commercialisation but once it is here and the shops are closed I relax and enjoy it. Since being widowed 3 years ago I don't enjoy it as much, but I do make the effort. We did go away a few times for Christmas but it never felt the same.

I don't think you are weird at all, lots of people don't enjoy Christmas and as you and DH both feel the same then going away until its all over is probably a good idea.

I'm not really sure why I don't like it .....but I don't, and never have. DH feels the same so we go away every year and when we return, it's all over. I watch others really enjoying the preparations and conclude that there's something 'wrong with me'. Is there anyone else that feels like this? Am I weird?
