I've always loved the holidays but this year (and in recent years) I've become more apathetic.  I think part of it has to do with being somewhat depressed (not majorly but some).  I want to enjoy them more like I used to. We have traditions of things we do every year. Even though we have fun visiting everyone, it sometimes feels like a chore to get things together enough and have difficult child get off work. easy child/difficult child doesn't even come most of the time. The actual Christmas day is nice-as quiet as it can be with difficult child but it's just the four of us. Still I'm not feeling the excitement this year. We'll go to Christmas Eve Mass which I always love except for the fact that difficult child still can't sit quietly through church.
