Like when I was a kid, seeing all the holiday decor around the neighborhood, the stores, the streets, always felt cozy. I don’t get that feeling anymore. I get the memory of it, but not the actual feeling. I don’t think I got jaded but maybe I did. What about you?
Its lost its magic for me definitely. Given it feels like the practitioners the religion seem to be hypocrates (I know this is not the case completely and a small number are starting to fight for what the religion means but still I look at how the society seems to have cruel leaders elected with the support of tacit believers or just not opposed those plainly seeing horrible things done) and my own financial situation as far as the consumerist side. The last thing I enjoyed was putting little presents near my neighbors doors. I like the feeling of something being a surprise or like from santa or fairies even though they know thats not the case. I used to like caroling but if I had the opportunity now I would be like. pass.
