I agree that it doesn't feel like christmas.
For me it didn't really even set in that it was the christmas season until I was driving into my neighborhood friday night after my three hour drive from school to home. Only when I saw all the christmas lights was I like "Oh, yeah, christmas in like 5 days"
I know that the main reason I didn't really feel it was b/c of finals. I got so carried away and focused on Organic chemistry that everything else kinda paled in comparison, even though we had all the christmas decorations up at the chapter house.
I also think that since I only had to buy gifts for my little brother, mom and dad - and since I knew what I was going to get them for a long time preceeding the end of finals weeks allowed me to put off the christmas feeling as well.
Another reason is just that I'm getting to that point in my life where christmas in not a big deal anymore. I'm not the 8 year old who began plannign for christmas in August, or going through the toy catalog 78 times looking for one more thing that I could ask for to make my life complete, nor am I having to worry about MAKING Christmas special for someone else...my little brother is a HS freshman so he's not really emotional about anything anymore other than girls...i don't have a girlfriend and obviously no children to make it special.
The last reason I can't believe it is christmas day tommorow is that on Sunday I leave for my cruise...that is what I've really been looking forward to for the past month! Knowing that I'm going to be coming back from break with a tan is a better gift than most for someone who is pale like me!!!
