Not much Christmas spirit nowadays?

[ClaNker]

e paano naman pag nagbigay ka sa isa e di ka na papatulugin ng mga yan, sunod sunod na at babalikan ka every night. di gaya nuon mga carollers minsan lang sila iikot sa isang lugar. kaya ngayon e wala na nagbibigay at perwisyo talaga kahit anong pasensya meron ka.

Balasubas ang mga batang carollers ngayon.

Hindi na kasi sila mga residente ng lugar nyo. Karamihan dyan mga namamalimos sa kalsada pag umaga, carollers sa gabi.

Mga decorations, definitely mas konti na ngayon. Carolling...kahit dati pa naman wala na masyadong carollers except for the street kids. No danger of the mall culture fading anytime soon.


Possible reasons:

-- imho, people are busier these days...which is good, because that means they have jobs, but bad, because they have less time for family, etc.

-- there are far more distractions now than then, so there's lesser time for the traditional stuff like decorating, carolling, etc.

-- perhaps the younger generation aren't that into the traditional way of celebrating Christmas, and the generation that did aren't that motivated any more.

-- dunno where the government bases its inflation figures, but prices have definitely gone up this year. That would take a bite out of anyone's Christmas spirit.

-- Traffic's no help as well. Travel time is usually a little over 1.5 hours, last Friday it took 3+ hours. Whatever time lost in transit is gonna take a bite out of your quality time.

-- maybe people just straight up don't want to be pressured with having Christmas "spirit". This is what stresses people out, and brings out the worst in people sometimes, so maybe they tend to scale down on the celebration, para makaiwas din sa stress.

I have noticed na halos wala ng Christmas decors sa mga bahay, wala na rin carollers masyado this Christmas season. Ganyan na ba kagipit mga tao ngayon at ayaw ng gumastos para maging festive naman ang Christmas time?

dami na pinagkakaabalahan at priorities tapos kulang budget kaya bawas na drive. yung iba iuutang para tuloy. kung marami pera lagi pasko kahit hindi. fact yan

[ClaNker]

Bawas na ang caroler at mga humihingi ng solicitations which is good news to me. Nakaka inis sumigaw ng patawad mayat-maya.

[Calistro]

Didnt put up much decors and just put the funds into gifts and food. I would love to meet up with friends but the fact that it will take me 2 hours to reach eastwood is just absurd

Ang di lang nag bago is yung mga basurero na araw araw kumakatok para mang hingi ng pamasko. Also yung mga kartero na may kadikit na sobre sa mga sulat.

Ako naman may ginagawang kabalbalan this Christmas. Since I have so many groups and Kris Kringle to attend. I pretended that I will always be out of Manila this Christmas. i was required by my company to hands on everything even on Christmas Day. And I used the Facebook location button so many times when I prentended out of Manila para lusot and used target audience feature to the public to group together all my friends that will see the fake location FB post

Grabe laki natipid ko sa kris kringle and all those obligatory stuff.

What I did was to shop around starting 9pm to 12am para walang chance encounters, and did it on a weekday

Ngaun nakabili ko yun mga talaga ng gusto ko bilhin Tipid sa Kris Kringle, more budget for what I really wanted to have this Christmas. Ang laki pala ma-save pag walang Christmas obligations

No Christmas spirit I guess. But I'm happier.

I spent the whole day yesterday wrapping gifts. I really take time in wrapping/decorating it nicely. My friends say they look forward to it every xmas and it makes me so happy
