Bah Humbug! Anyone else not in the Christmas spirit yet?
I'm usually a very 'Christmas-y' person, but I'm just not feeling it this year. With 101 days to go until my wedding and a task list that seems daunting at times, I don't have time for Christmas. Christmas happens every year, I'm getting married ONCE.
I am in a good place with regard to my wedding timeline, so why can't I relax a little and enjoy the season? Is anyone else feeling this way?
Maybe I just need a little egg nog with some rum in it...

I know what you mean. The stress of having to buy christmas gifts as well as wedding expenses is a bit overwhelming.
have some nog, you'll feel better!

I hear you! I'm getting married two weeks after Christmas - the only thing Christmas is for me this year is a pain in the neck since it'll ruin a weekend of running around for wedding stuff.
I feel like such a scrooge and I LOVE Christmas, but this year it's just in the way... New Years too! The last two weekends before the wedding are major holidays and all the shops are closed! BAH HUMBUGGGGG!

Re: Bah Humbug! Anyone else not in the Christmas spirit yet?
I hear ya! But for me it has more to do with the fact that there is a limited amount of gift shopping I can do this year. I know - it's not about the presents - but for me I love shopping for people and picking out just the right thing. So without that I am feeling lost. Plus my company doesn't decorate the lobby for Christmas.
Maybe when we put up the tree next weekend I will feel better.

I'm right there with all of you And the music in the stores, doctors offices and the radio is getting to me already! I couldn't even care about the tree lighting tonight. I say have some egg nog with rum just for the sheer hell of it, nothing to do with xmas.
LP - sorry things are not any better at work

I don't mean to sound like a bridezilla, but the only thing I seem to be able to concentrate on lately is the wedding. Plus the fact that trying to save money for the wedding and buying people xmas gifts is totally stressing me out!!

Re: Bah Humbug! Anyone else not in the Christmas spirit yet?
My invites are going out the week between Christmas and New Year's. My FMIL is still thinking about who she wants to invite to the wedding. I told everyone I wanted the list finalized by Thanksgiving. She has had since February to think about this!!!
The holidays are just in my way right now. Like a speed bump that I have to get past.

Re: Bah Humbug! Anyone else not in the Christmas spirit yet?
I was feeling this way......but for some reason, now I'm excited about Christmas! Even though I don't have much to spend on presents, I bought my family and FH a bunch of smaller gifts, so it looks like they got more. I also went out and bought myself a stuffed Rudolph from Build-A-Bear with my friend and we had such a blast stuffing our own reindeer and giving him a heart! Then I did a little Christmas shopping with my mom.....came home, had a glass of egg nog with rum in it and just wrapped a couple presents while listening to Christmas music on 97.5 WALK FM..... You have to set the MOOOOOOD......kinda like when you're planning a romantic night....you gotta create the atmosphere, ladies!
Don't worry....you'll catch the Christmas Spirit soon!

NOT AT ALL!!! I don't even care about it this year. Its the first year I will not be spending it at my parent's house in NY and I am really bummed out about it.
