The older i'm getting it is getting more tiring and I am glad it's over now
-
I am exhausted. It gets harder every year.
-
i agree --i just dont get into it as much now that i am not a kid and my kids are grown --i am glad it is over too !!
-
I'm not glad it's over. I enjoy the time with family.
-
I am! Every year something awful happens at christmas. It is a running joke in the family. this year did not disappoint, from tornadoes and flooding to family in the hospital and bad news medically. I dread every year!
-
im glad it's over time to recover money wise
-
It's not completely over for me...
We still have to go to my father-in-law's house to exchange gifts, plus to my husband's step-mom's house for their gift exchange too.
-
I wish everyday was Christmas. On Christmas Day, people get together, eat together and spend time with family members. Most importantly people remember the unfortunate ones.
-
I guess in some ways I feel like that but this is the first year since my husband died that our sons and I have really done anything to speak of for Christmas so I am happy for that. Today we made the lasagne we intended to make yesterday but still had party food leftover from Christmas Eve so we'll have that and watch a movie so that will be nice. :snowman: :present:

I really enjoyed it. Hard part was the grand-kids could not be here.
However, it was just me, daughter and son-in-law, and my son. We got a lot of catching up done. It was fun, cozy, warm, and lasted about 6 hours.
I hope the kids will be here next Christmas (they live in Florida, I am Wisconsin), but this was very satisfying.
I could do it again soon.
:rose:

I'm looking forward to 2016 and all that it has to offer. I'm glad all the hustle and standing in long lines are over, not to mention spending money on gifts.
-
No more busy roads or stores. Glad it's over although I've always loved this time of year
-
I am definately glad that the spending is over, bit I would love the holidays to continue...
-
I am because it was just tiring for me. I suppose because I'm older now.
-
I enjoy Christmas time but it's nice to know I can now sit back and relax and not be rushed to do so many different things at one time. Time with my family was wonderful but I do appreciate quiet times. :)
-
Yes and no it is for the kids other then that it's just another day for me.
-
Not over for us yet. We have a couple of families that went to in-laws for Christmas, so we will exchange gifts when they get back next year.
-
I'm glad it's over.
-
I do not get why people cry and complain about Christmas if you do not want to participate or celebrate then don't.
-
I'm always happy when it's January 2nd...Happy New Year everyone...
-
not to much happening so itdoesnt matter one way or another
-
I'm not glad it's over. I look forward to spending time with family I haven't seen in a long time. One of my nieces came from Spain, another from Chicago, and my nephew came from North Carolina. Don't know when I'll be able to see them again, so no I'm not glad.
-
This is what I mean, if people actually knew anything about Christmas it is NOT over, it is just beginning. I learned that in church on Christmas day. Do you know that a lot of people don't even know the 3 gifts Jesus got from the wise men? :o Of course it is gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which inspires a lot of people to have a 3 gift Christmas for their families. Hey Jesus got 3 gifts why should you get more from any person :highfive: It also saves time and money 8)
-
I am. It's a nice holiday but it gets harder to find joy in it.
-
It takes so long to get here and then bam...it's over so fast. I think next Christmas I'm going to find some new traditions & try to make it last ALL month.....
-
I am glad it got here but would like to have the actual celebration last longer. It is the prep work that exhausts me but once Christmas is here, I love all the good food and hearing from good friends. Also, people are so friendly this time of year I would love to have this continue! Wouldn't you?
-
I am glad that its over too
-
I enjoy being with family and watching the children enjoy their gifts, but I am glad itis over. See ya next year, only if the Lord's will.
-
I too am glad it is over. It was nice but exausting trying to see the whole family and shopping for them.
-
I feel like such a grinch saying it- BUT YES!! I usually enjoy the holidays so much, but this year money was tight, and they adds stress to just about everything. Combine that with family members having conflicting schedules and freezing weather and yeah it was a rough one. The one thing I can say for it though was that it gave me one more opportunity to crush everyone in my neighborhood at the decoration contest. I DONT LOOSE when it comes to spreading youltide glee! I've got over $5,000 worth of retina burning festivities going down right now!!! HA.HA! That's what my Christmas is about- creating that "holy *bleep*, he's putting up more lights" vibe in the air! My house was the reason the short bus had to be re-routed every December- that's right, the epileptic kids kept going into seizures seeing MY Santa with 50,000 watts powering that familiar old face and 3 Marshall stacks supplying enough HOHOHO decibalige to play Yankee God damn stadium! Ahhhh yeah, my Christmas deorations will simultaneously make you scream with glee and curse the soul who supplied Rudolph with enough nose candy (power) that cherry red honker burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. Just don't stare too long- after admiring the decorations for a minute or two your eyes will begin to itch and dry out. Thats cause in my house, there's a 30 second suggestion so as to avoid retina combustion.

I felt this year that I'd finally been cured of all the hype.
-
It feels like Christmas didn't happen tbh.
-
i know im glad!!!!!! :present:
-
I agree,it is such a rat race over the top with the commericials, I thing the true meaning has been loss. I try my best to not get caught up in all the hype but it is hard because there seems to be wall to wall people everywhere you go, but at least it's over and i am thankful that I made it to see another year, may we all have some peace and joy this year.
-
Last Christmas went so fast!
-
I am glad because i can relax but i am not because another year is starting with new problems.
-
It was okay for me. At least I wasn't sick with the flu this year. It's nice to watch my boys open gifts. I miss my family during the holidays. Maybe next year we can visit again.
