'Tis the Season or Not?

The holiday season is upon us, and I just can't get myself into the spirit. I usually love this time of year. The gatherings, the cooking, the gifts. This year it seems forced. What depresses me the most, as this is the time of year I look forward to most, after its over, not sure what there is to look forward to. It seems like I have become every one else. Not many people I know enjoy the holidays and if they do, it seems they need to talk about all the negative aspects.
And this brings me to my point, so what if I don't get into the holiday season. Is that really such a big deal that I feel that way? Not really, it's just saddens me. The holidays always was a time of year that I always enjoyed and this year, the days are like every other day.

Cooking tip of the day: Bake some of your favorite holiday treats, if only just for you.

I find the festiveness of the season is stronger some years then others. When I find myself feeling the way you felt this year, (perhaps it improved? I'll keep reading) I do some interspective thinking. I roll into the core of what this time of year is ment to mean to me. And usually I refresh with the thinking, It's not about me at all. It's about everyone else! I then I set about selfless acts of giving and sharing and caring, and it all comes round in time.
