Christmas Tree

I put my artificial Christmas tree up this afternoon but that is all I've done. I love Christmas but I can't seem to get myself motivated to decorate. I struggle with laziness, I know. Anyone struggling to get motivated to decorate for Christmas, or does it excite you?

Christmas decorations and presents and all that doesn't excite me. I got to the point where it just felt more like pressure from tradition than fun. After i stopped and i realized the pressure stopped, I felt better and was more inclined to find other pleasant things to do with my time. I think it might be easier for me though as i don't have anyone that really expects it anymore. Families with young children I would imagine it would be harder to get away from it 馃槉. (Imho).
I think getting and having the motivation to do decorating and other things are many times effected or dependent on a lot of outside factors going on in our lives at the same time. 馃檨. Maybe do some things that make you feel good if possible. I think that always helps. 馃檪

I used to absolutely love decorating etc., and I wish I could once again feel like that. Sadly, I just cannot.

@Mikla Is there something that keeps you from decorating? It's a shame if that was something you loved to do but can't anymore.

@DemureDeb Yes. Too many of the "unthinkable". It's been a rough ride.

I stopped putting up Christmas trees, lights and decorations a few years ago.
I don't miss it at all.
And when you get right down to it, they really don't mean anything or have anything to do with the true meaning of Christmas.
Just my opinion.

@IM5688 I agree with you. Those things don't have anything to do with the true meaning of Christmas. I do like the origin of the candy cane, and Father Christmas.
