Do you feel the Christmas ?
More often in the last years, I’ve put myself this question: do I feel it’s Christmas time ? Does it feel the same way as it felt 4-5 years ago? Do I even have the energy to celebrate it or the whole thing is just a relax and enjoy period? Well, I got some confusing answers, but here is goes:
Do I feel it’s Christmas? Definitely NO. Why? Because, first of all, I don’t feel the energy the Xmas supposed to give it to people; all around me I see tired faces, people that work and forgot about the magical times of the winter holidays. I see people too tired for having a little bit of fun. Christmas has become more of a gift giving and TV watching/look-a-like holiday than it’s initial spirit: be with your close ones, celebrate not as much the news of the Jesus child (although from some latest discoveries seems that he was born in June or July) but the joy of being with the people you love, appreciate and care for. It’s not a contest of drinking as much as you can, but as drinking with the people who represent something for you.
Does it feel like 4-5 years ago? Again, definitely NO. Part of the reason explained above, part of the situation in Romania; shitty crisis makes the holiday spirit go away.
Do I have the energy to celebrate it? Yes. Definitely. I got almost the same energy to hump and party as 10 years ago, but as it goes, I don’t have my friends to back me up as 10 years ago; maybe I get old a little bit less than them, maybe because I still don’t have a child on the way, or maybe … maybe I’m more relaxed then them. Who knows, maybe it’s time to get a new group of friends, 8-10 years younger. Maybe.
Or maybe this will be a magical Christmas, against all signs that it’s gonna be worst than the one last year. Maybe.
