Grinch, Scrooge, both, or neither?

Hey, this is one of two blogs I hope to get in by the time I pack it in for the night. It's not as negative as the title sounds. At least I hope not. But I'll let you decide.

I am personally a huge fan of the Christmas season. It is, all in all, quite cheerful, and I pretty much love every part of it. However, I just can't find myself able to get into it as much as before. In fact, I can only think of one other year (2001) where I wasn't able to get into it. In the case of that year, I was in a really low state emotionally which I think was to blame for the mediocre Christmas. The next four Christmases after that were amazing; but then again, those occurred during a relatively glorious era of my life.

This year, I'm trying to pinpoint the reason why I haven't been able to get into it. It's not like I haven't tried. I even made myself a Christmas mix CD to play in my car and gave my MySpace a holiday theme. Is it because I'm older? Well, I am busier with work, but that's not it. Is it because I'm in a low point emotionally? It has been a rough year overall, but I'm in a pretty good place from a personal standpoint. So, I really am at a loss for my lack of Christmas spirit/excitement. Let's hope I can get it soon.
