Same. Many people without jobs, no money to celebrate the season, stress all around.

Do you know why it doesn't feel like Christmas?
Because it's not sodding Christmas, Christmas is on the 25th of December and today is the 23rd.

It helps alot when family comes round and you all sit around and talk about things I think. We didn't get to do that till the day last year so it felt a bit weird leading up to christmas.

I usually feel the christmas spirit a week before. But I hope you're right that on christmas day it feels like it should.

I am fortuneate enough to be able to afford to have a couple friends over for dinner, give a couple small gifts, and then we will probably drink and play games. As well as make some donations to charity.
I will of course be watching Christmas specials throughout the next few days.
But generally, people are depressed, the economy is making it tough on so many people. U6 or whatever they call it Unemployment in the state of Oregon is about 20% and upwards of 50% in some communities.
Add into it the fact that it has become politically unpopular to even say "Merry Christmas", put up public decorations, etc.
I miss big fancily decorated pubic trees, carolers, and even nativity scenes. I am not a Christian, but even I enjoyed the festivity of it all.

People, I give you Christmas:
"What do you want?"
"Nothing."
"You can't have nothing, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything."
"You can't not have anything."
"Yes I can, I don't want anything."
"Fine, i'll just get you something random."
"Don't waste your money."
"Then tell me what you want."
"Fine, i'll just have money."
"You can't just have money."
"...ASDFGHJKLQWERTYMNBVIUOFR!"
I'm just not interested in Christmas at the moment. I don't want to be indebted to someone by recieving a present and feeling obliged to return the favour. Wrapping presents pisses me off, as does putting up decorations.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Yeah, feel the same way. I had a lovely "gift giving and getting" week, but no sign of christmas.
It's been going down the toilet every year. Eventually we aren't even going to call it christmas. It's just going to be "end of the year gift day with jesus references"

It seems like the season's been devoted to nondenominationality and joylessness.

Yeah...... It just doesn't feel like last year at all. Not as much of the, "Christmas is in three days! HOORAY!". It's more like, "Christmas is in three days? Huh. Time flies. Whoopie."
