i'm not feeling it this year. i usually love thanksgiving, but this year i think it feels like a hassle and don't really want to bother. i don't feel like putting up my christmas tree, and would be quite content to not give or receive any gifts. think anyone would notice or care if i just skip them this year?

Angel we are doing more of a what the holidays were meant for this year ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,less commercial and more QUALITY ...... Sure we will have food and the tree and trimmings ........ But as far as major present under the tree NOPE ..... There is so much more to it then pretty wraps and big presents .......With so many people out of work losing their homes and struggling to even buy groceries I think it would be HORRID to spend freely as others suffer ,,,, HOLIDAY Movies ,,,,, Pick in Dinners and Good laughs and company thats my holidays this year

i just want to lay on my couch and watch t.v.

i don't feel like shopping, cooking, traveling, and conversing with people whom i only see once a year.

i just want to stay home.

That is pretty much what I have done for the past 6 years, nothing wrong with it.
