It is a nice time I know, but everyone feel happy in Christmas time? I am asking it because I feel sad in Christmas. I Start to remember all persons that aren't here anymore. Specially now with this crisis and less money. We want to maintain all the traditions but it is hard nowadays. What about you?

I don't think about christmas much. It just marks the ending of the year and i'd think how quickly a year goes by. Right now i can't feel cheerful about anything. With the economic crisis christmas can be thought of as a paycheck bonus.

Hi antioxidant. I understand you. Now we need to be careful with money. Many people will be in debt because the shopping of Christmas. I think it is a very very bad idea. Thanks for your response.

Hi Teka,I don't feel much Christmasy here because most of the people here doesn't celebrate Christmas and this is my second Christmas here. But I'm happy that I'm with my husband and we might celebrate our Christmas with some friends. Advance Merry Christmas, Teka.

On the one hand I am happy because my son still feels the magic of Christmas. He is still all about the wish list and getting tons of presents. I enjoy watching the kids get just as excited as I did as a child. I will admit that the many adult years that I had prior to my son, it didn't quite seem the same.

When I was a kid, I always felt excited and happy when Christmas time is coming. That's the time when kids receive presents and gifts from their friends and loved ones. Parties, foods, family gatherings, lavish celebrations. But, when I get older, I never felt the same way especially when I am already working. For Christmas holidays are just ordinary days. Maybe because, I am working during Christmas breaks that's why I never felt the spirit anymore. But, when I had my own child, it has changed. Back to the old feelings. Since, I have my son, I am always excited again when Christmas is approaching. Bonding with old friends, family gatherings and reunions. It's a greay feeling, actually. Bringing back the old time, lol!

I fell much more relax and happy right now due to that fact that it's Christmas time. I got the feeling that everyone around me is happy too. The happy-ness just kept on spreading.

I love Christmas time. I love family togetherness and the fun traditions. It's always something that makes me feel good inside. To have my family, traditions and lots of yummy food!! Plus I love buying gifts for others so this is the time of year I really get to buy things for my loved ones.
