The spirit of christmas that is. I've been watching alot of christmas movies lately and listening to christmas music. I'm trying to get into the christmas spirit i am there but then i'm not. I think with my upcoming surgery it has a part to do with it. Hopefully I'm healed well enough to enjoy christmas this year but depends on how well it goes. I have started my shopping early to get ahead start on it before I go into the hospital. I still got a quite a bit left to buy for. Nobody is giving me a christmas list and i keep asking so annoying. Are you in the christmas spirit this year or you going to be a bah humbug like me ? Hopefully my mood will change as it gets closer we will see. Photo Credit: lovethispic.com

I am not in the Christmas spirit, but not because I am a Grinch, my Mom had a stroke and we fear for her life now.

I'm kind of wishy washy this year. Nice to have this new contentment feeling that has come over me. I think it is due to the added meds I am taking.

I, too, am hoping my mood will change. This medical stuff probably does have something to do with my mood, also. I have an issue I need to check out. But I couldn't get into the doctor's office until January 2. If it becomes emergent, of course I will go to the urgent care or walk-in clinic or something. What's weird is how the doctor's offices here are working now. I went to this doctor's office for years and years and I already trust the doc and nurse practitioner. But I hadn't been there in over five years. Apparently they dumped me off their "system" so I have to start over with the paperwork. They're acting like I'm a new patient. They get people in sooner if they are already on "the system". How you're feeling has nothing to do with it, lol. The laugh is ironic. It's just so different from the way doctor's offices used to operate. But I'm told all of them in this area operate like that. Then lots of times if you're sick, they tell you to go to urgent care. It's like they are only seeing people having their regular check up or something. ANYWAY, I turned that into something else. Sorry, LOL! I'm not in the usual merry Christmas mood. And I do love Christmas. I was sent some Amazon wishlists, which is helpful. But my niece's had nothing on it, haha. I think she sent me an old one or she forgot to start it or something. I have to check with her. I hope your surgery goes well and your Christmas is merry and bright after all. And good luck with the gifting!

@CinnamonGrl well that is a bummer you have to start all over like your a new patient and your not. It shouldn't matter if you haven't been to the doctors in awhile, if your not sick then what's the point of going. I hope you can wait on your illness til Jan but if not then yes go to urgent care or an ER if you can't wait. I hope whatever it is you feel better soon and get some answers on what's going on. I'm hoping my surgery will go well and i'll be in better spirits after that. It's just so stressful worrying about that, work and getting into the holiday spirit on top of it. I'm sure i'll be fine though.

@CinnamonGrl Is it your back ? I always have back issues because of my scoliosis my spine is never straight.

@Blondie2222 I'm pretty sure what I've got is a hernia, so I'm going to get a brace or something to try to make me more comfortable till my appointment. I'm not having actual pain, it's what I would call kind of a "discomfort." Twinges when I do certain chores, that kind of thing.

@shaggin some people get into the spirit early, some late some not at all. I guess it just depends on the situation

I think I missed something here. I didn't know you were going in the hospital for surgery. I hope you'll be home and in the holiday spirit in plenty of time to enjoy Christmas. I'm not a bah humbug. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I haven't started shopping yet, but my tree is up, just need to decorate it.

I'm in the Christmas spirit/ mood! I'm not a huge fan of Christmas lists from people. It's more fun finding a little surprise for an interest of theirs! I hope your surgery goes well!
