Christmas used to be the happiest most exciting and magical time a year and now it means nothing there are no Christmas spirit I lost that last spark 8 years ago when I was 17
I remember every single day of December used to be filled with excitement over it being one day closer to Christmas Eve plus how magical it all was and I can´t stress that word enough 'magical' because it was like December had some Christmas magic sprinkled over it that made it so much more exciting the belief in Santa Claus all the stories about him and his little helpers and in Scandinavia called Nisse I remember being told stories about 'nisser' in the woods by our teacher when we went with the school to a big forest to get a Christmas three for the school yard and our naivé imaginary happy child minds would actually think we saw a glimpse of one.
Also remember the feeling as a kid waking up to see the first snow had fallen, the feeling of sheer excitement and joy that feeling was amazing to see that snow covered landscape was instant happiness.
Now Christmas means nothing I actually rather skip it since it feels like such a forced charade of what once was, the food is good but besides that I feel like Christmas now is just an insult to how happy, exciting and magical it used to be as a child, I remember how exciting and long Christmas day felt like how we would eagerly wait for the guests to arrive so the night could start, how we would eat delicious food and then have to wait a couple hours for desert would would be Risalamande where they would be a few whole almonds hitting in and if you got one whole one you would get an almonds present and after we had been done with this we would wait a little while and dance around the Christmas three and the kids (me and my 2 brothers) would take a present one at a time and give it to the person who it was assigned to and we would first open them when all of them had been handed out.
Also not to sound ungrateful but presents back when I was younger was SO MUCH BETTER like as a child it would be cool toys I have written on my Christmas list, games or en my pre-teen years an airsoft gun or a new phone but the best of all presents I ever got was a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Silver which is also my favorite video game of all time.
Again not to sound ungrateful or like a spoiled brat but adult presents suck it´s all about practical stuff e.g clothes, socks, salt shakers, things for the kitchen etc. there is not one shed of excitement when opening a present because it´s just going to be some boring adult stuff that granted I would actually need but it´s just essential things I mean who the hell gets excited when opening a present to see pots and pans compared to a toy or video game as a child? I even remember as a child how boring all the adults presents were yet they seemed happy to get them.
And even the climate has changed, when I was a child there used to be so much snow that even starting to fall in November now it´s the 20th December and I haven´t seen as much as a snowflake Christmas is dead and I hope I will be soon I used to love life so much, have friends passions and all the little joys that seemed to big as a child like I just mentioned seeing the first snow fall I can´t even describe the feeling of happiness I seriously just want mylife existence to end because I don´t live anymore and haven´t for almost a decade I used to like the idea of none existence but I just know how wonderful and fun life can be so I would hope that when I die I will wake up as a child again relieving my childhood exactly as it was in a never ending loop that would reset when I hit puberty that is my definition of paradise but unfortunately I most likely will just seize to exist but that is still better than what is now.
