Christmas is over..............................

Christmas was great but I will have more of the Christmas Spirit when my alcofrolic sister leaves. Am going nuts and need a muffin

for me christmas is one of the most special day throughout the year, because i was able to see my parents, my sisters, my niece, my nephews, and my bestfriend. i dont understand why other people lost the spirits, me i never as i only have the chance to be with my family few days in the year.

I do not wish it over with no, but I have to say I do not feel the same about Christmas any more, the joy has been taken away from it, as it is so much Stress now and all for one Day There is hardly any Home baking any more............People do not have the time for it any more There is no more Joy about coming up to Christmas, as People worry, and rush all the time It is just not the same any more, to me it seems like it is all about money and expensive presents these Days and that is it

Mine is not over yet. I have more family coming in two weeks. Some parts of Christmas are great, some are not. I just do not do the parts I do not like. I had a lot of fun this year. I am glad to be back home today though.

What?! And here I was thinking Christmas wasn't even long enough :)! There's a long lead up to the day, but after that, everything Christmas-y just stops. I think the whole message escapes most people. Would be nice to see the spirit of joy & giving continue till the next year's Christmas, whether or not one believes in this holiday. (And I don't think decorations should go down until AFTER the Orthodox Christians have celebrated theirs in January.)

Hi saphrina, i'm glad it's over too. I didn't really get into the Christmas spirit at all this year. I was unwell with a throat infection which didn't help and was relieved when the day was over and I could go to bed.

I'm with you on this. Normally I love Christmas, its my favorite holiday. his year has been so different, my worst Christmas ever. I am so thankful its over with. Now onto the New Year, praying thats its better then the last year. I don't think I could repeat another year like this and survive without going insane or strangling someone.

Hi saphy, For me, Christmas Day is a holiday and I can spend time at home with my kids. I can finish some pending works at home. Since the harsh winter is going on I need some extra time to finish the washing and drying the cloths. I do not celebrate Christmas, so no need to think the way you think dear. Belated Happy Christmas to you.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo I like Christmas dammit blondie!!!! Must you always be a spoilsport...

It's true that the the Christmas holiday has come to an end. that doesn't mean theat our Chrismas spirit has to come to an end too. If we can can keep some of that with us all through the year, life could be so enriched by it.

Hi Saphrina, I am not a christian so I am not aware what truly the Spirit of Christmas is But yes, I have my own way of enjoying and festivals - I see life in these small occasions. This year, I was able to bring smiles on a few faces and that was my celebration - I spent time with my Parents and they were happy. The last time I visited them for some hours was way back in October end and November start - unfortunately we stay in the same city just 10 kms away. Then I spent some 40 minutes or so with my orphan friends and distribute Chocolates and also had a cake for them... I am sad that the occasion passed faster than I had expected and today I wished that I was able to spend some more time enjoying and celebrating life. Cheers, theSids.

Yes, i am glad Christmas is over because i was so tired the whole day of 24th preparing foods for the "noche buena". But no matter how tired i was, the happiness in me still lingers because my sister & family from afar, came to our parents' house where we all gathered and enjoyed the reunion. The praises i got from my prepared foods were music to my ears!

yes every christmas i wish it would hurry up and end. but this year was different. i guess because i had found someone to spend it with.

Hi sap... A warm greeting for you and to all:) Let us remember that the Christmas spirit is giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manners of hearts for almost two thousand of years.....So I guess underneath, everyday its always be bulging bundles in this beating Christmas heart.

this year passes so quickly... it seems that the year had just begun and suddenly christmas is already over and the new year is approaching... it scares me so much... seems like the time flies faster and faster every year without my knowledge... i hope that next year i will be able to make better use of my time to glorify Him... take care and have a nice day...

I'll miss the days leading up to Christmas. I like seeing the decorations. I like the mostly good moods people around here are in. I really don't like the following days when all those decorations have to come down. It's not a hassle putting them up, but it feels like a hassle to bring them back down.

I love Christmas and many of us here in the Philippines look forward to it every year. I guess it's because the majority of us Filipinos are Catholics. We don't celebrate just Christmas day, we celebrate a whole Christmas season. When the "-ber" months hit, we already feel the Christmas season. It "ends" vaguely sometime in January. It's really funny because sometimes, some of us still have a Christmas tree up until February. During Christmas season, there are so many Chritmas parties all around complete with food and Secret Santas. By Christmas eve/the 24th, we have what is called a Noche Buena wherein there are lots of food prepared and the family eats together. I love Christmas but I'm feeling a bit down this year. It's because I'm preparing for a licensure exam for my profession. Instead of having loads of fun, I'm studying throughout the season. It's sort of depressing and I'm having some personal issues too. Still, I'm happy this Christmas and looking forward again to it next year. I guess Christmas is celebrated in different ways in different countries. Because of our country's history, we have the "longest Christmas" in the world.

yes..it was just soo over whelming for me lately..it gets so tiring preparing the gifts and the food..how i wish i could just stay in bed during that day and just have my food delivered or somethign hehehe but then i cnnot since i have kids and i have to make this season special for them..but i did enjoy it was jsut tiring for me and my huby lol

Hi saphy, "All human things are subject to decay and when fate summons monarchs must obey". Like wise Christmas and new year come and go and what they do is to make us one more year older. I wonder if at all it is wiser. We just need an occasion and we are there to make the best of that. Orr else life would become too monotonous to live.

That has, more or less, always been my feeling regarding Christmas. I'm a little happier about it that I have no contact with my blood relatives, but that's about as far as it goes.
