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?

Could it be an age thing?

I'm 32.
I've had issues with it past maybe 3-6 years.

Listen at a Christmas radio
Watch a Christmas movie/animations/cartoons
Read Christmas books/comics
Write your own Christmas stories
Talk about Christmas
Do your favorite Christmas'y thing
Create a new Christmas'y habit
Make a Christmas music playlist
Create a Chistmas get-together
Sing Christmas carols (alone or with someone(karaoke))
Craft something Christmas'y

Listening at music, watching a movie and the radio has helped me reach some level of Christmas!
