TTC After a Loss

lost my Christmas spirit

I normally LOVE Christmas....like I get up at 4am Christmas morning and love everything about it (except perhaps crowds at the mall)...this year, I just cannot get my head into it. I've been playing Christmas carols on the radio and still nothing...DH feels the same way, but he's never loved it as much as me. I'm just blah about the whole thing. I know there's nothing I can do about it, just wanted to vent to people who understand!

  • Same here.  It was a little better after I got my decorations and tree up, but I'm not really feeling it either. 

    (((hugs)))

  • I've been able to get excited about Christmas a little bit at different moments... but I'm mostly just feeling blah about it as well.  I have too many 'should haves' that bring me down if I let myself think about them.

  • *hugs* I understand what you're saying.....the Christmas magic just isn't the same this year. Hopefully next year when we're all sharing it with our adorable babies, it'll feel better.

  • I understand. I've said it b4, but I'm usually Mrs. Suzy Christmas....I LOVE everything about it-----usually.

    This year, I'm really looking forward to seeing dd's reaction on Christmas morning, but that's about it. I'm just not into-"into" it this year. If it weren't for dd, I probably would be ready to boycott the holiday family thing altogether. My family will be okay. They have enough respect to not say anything about the loss and ttc. My in-laws, however------well, that's another story....
