Christmas: Is the spirit dying away slowly?

[tidus1203]

Is it just me or do you feel it? I remember 10 years ago Christmas was much more fun... Or is it just me cause I am getting older and getting more serious unlike 10 years ago I was just 16, a senior high school student so mas jolly pa ang buhay. Walang poblema maliban lang sa grades na ipapakita sa magulang...

Kayo what do you think? Mas nagiging malungkot na ba ang pasko ngayon kaysa kungwari 10-15 years ago?

Overall Christmas is still Christmas. It is just that as we get older, our viewpoint of this holiday season has changed. Christmas is just something that is more enjoyed by the young.

As we get older, we have more obligations so Christmas tends to become more of a burden to us in the form of increased expenses and many social obligations/responsibilities like charities, parties, family etc.

nothing's changed since I don't celebrate it to be honest...

ganyan talaga tidus

as we get older, we no longer feel the same happy Christmas feeling we felt when we were kids

diba sabi Christmas is for kids?

naalala ko nung bata pako, October, November palang na-fi-feel ko na ang Christmas

ngayon kahit well into December na parang wala lang

ok lang yan dude

that's life

Pero there are visible changes talaga. I remember dato 10 years ago mga kapitbahay naman pabongahan ng decorations. Ngayon may iba dyan wala ngang decorations ang bahay eh.

As Christmas is for kids, your neighbors' kids might have grown up and moved away. Or limited decorations to inside the house.

Maybe personal economic changes? Could be they are not as well off as before.
