Who is not celebrating Christmas this year?
Discussion
It's the 8th of December and I've realised I might not bother putting up a Christmas tree this year. This is notable as putting up the tree would normally mark the start of the festivities.
My reasons for this are:
I changed jobs at the end of November and normally Christmas is a nice time to wind down and reflect on the year. At the moment, I feel like I'm winding up to take on the new challenges presented in my new role and I can't be bothered with the clutter and distraction of Christmas decorations etc.
Additionally, there's not a huge amount to reflect on in 2019. It felt a little bit like a year of treading water to some extent i.e. I haven't made quite as much progress on life goals as I wanted. However, you can't always have what you want, when you want it and I've made changes this year to help steer things in the direction I want to achieve my goals, the new job being just one of them.
I'll still be attending some Christmas parties and visiting relatives over Christmas but other than that, I'll just be getting on with things like any other time of the year, not feeling particularly festive.
Anybody else not really celebrating Christmas this year, and if so, why?
