Idk, personally I haven't felt "the spirit of christmas" or anything that actually made it uniquely special. Anyone else feel the same?

I feel that. Other than getting a bunch of new socks, new shoes and a bag each of cashews and pecans... It was just another day.

Us adults have a pact to cease gift exchanging. It's too hard and places too many expectations on people. We run the gamut lately from high paid remote workers, to my welfare scrub ass, and my boomer retiree parents who don't know how to not worry about money despite being fine.

But for the kiddos we all make an exception and do what we can. I don't miss getting gifts, I do miss being able to afford and to give them though.
