Christmas Spirit-- lacking

I was surprised when I looked at the date today. December 23! Wow! It will be Christmas eve by tomorrow night! And the most surprising thing is that I didn't even realize it's the 23rd already. Talk about Christmas spirit. Or at least, the lack of it.

To be honest, I've never really felt any form of Christmas spirit in these past few years, more so this year. I remember when I was a kid, Christmas was really special in a way that no matter how many (or grave) your problems are, you still feel jolly come Christmas time.

Now, it feels as if Christmas is overrated. It's just like any ordinary time of the year, except with all the gifts and all.

I guess it's part of growing up. Or is it? :(
