Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years? (lemmy.ca)

Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I'm still struggling. I've noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood.

How are others feeling? Are you struggling, yet succeeding? If so, how are you breaking through?

Looks like it will be a BROWN Christmas here this year. Which is a grim fucking reminder that we've fucked the planet and it is only going to get worse.

So. There's that.

It's not just brown here, which is super rare, it's so warm that I can't even take my daughter skating at the outdoor rink.

I live in SASKATCHEWAN

For me it's definitely the weather. When i see Christmas lights and shit, but i walk around in shorts i just feel dreadful.
