Anyone feel decidedly less festive this year?

Even less than last in fact?!

Even the shops n town centres seem less “Christmassy”?

Or is it just me?

I can't recall ever really feeling 'Christmassy' for the past quarter of a century or so. However I take your point that things do seem to be even flatter than usual this year.

I'm not a very Christmassy person but I do agree, the people who usually annoy me with festive cheer are much quieter :):)

Seriously though yes I think Plan B has dampened the spirits

It is not you Eve, I feel the same way. The shops are less packed. Many homes around here including mine have less decorations/trees up.
My one son here in the UK is in two minds about coming for xmas day.

I was shocked yesterday when I went to the Post Office for stamps in the middle of the afternoon.
There were 4 people in the queue.

I’m Christmassy and loving it ,I’ll enjoy every moment , talk of a lockdown after Christmas, time enough to be ‘fed up ‘ then

I think most people are too nervous to be jolly and happy, what with all that is going on..

I had my booster yesterday and I definitely feel more like crawling under a rock...and I've got things to do. Daughter and her partner arriving tomorrow then off to London late Sunday.

I should have gone to your PO, Barsel. When I went to mine, there were about 10 people queueing outside - and when I got to the door, another 10 inside. It took me well over an hour.

My daughter usually sorts the tree out at my house. This year she hasn't even mentioned it. She usually calls each Sunday and if she doesn't sort it then, it can stay in it's box until next year. That's how festive i feel this year:-/

I think you’re right, Eve. I just realised Christmas Day is a week tomorrow.

We’re having a quiet one again like last year when it was just me, husband and my dad. So I haven’t felt too festive.

Hadn't been feeling too festive until last night. Our annual family outing to the Panto cheered me up no end. Great to hear all the kids shouting "he's behind you" and "hiya Buttons". Much more in the mood now.
