Is It Too Early To Be Excited For The Holidays

Why do I always wake up early on a weekend or holiday, but late on a work day?

it's a simple thing really. your internal watch doesn't care for you to wake up to you job (which you don't love) so it will wake you up when it feels you slept over yourself because you feel you slept too long. in the weekends you are relaxed and happy you have your days off so your body wakes you up because it feels you want to wake up and spend your day of work. so you wake up early on weekends because you are happy and late on work days because you aren't excited for work.

When is too early to start decorating for the holidays?

Hi,

Every year it does seem like retailers are decorating earlier and earlier. This year, I've even noticed boxes of Christmas decorations getting ready to be displayed around Halloween. Right after Halloween, they went up. That's way too earlier to my estimation.

I think the perfect time to start putting up Thanksgiving-themed decorations is around the beginning of November (naturally). Once Thanksgiving is over, but even shortly before is fine with me, I think decorating for Christmas should start.

Some people are bothered by early holiday decorations because it reminds them of the stress involved with planning dinners, get-togethers, holiday visitors and family, buying gifts, etc.

Others are thrilled because it reminds them of the warm feeling of the holidays, and they are excited for those things listed above.

Obviously, early holiday decorating in retail is to make you think of the gifting-season. They'd like you to start purchasing for others. I watched the video, red and green make people spend!

I'm the lazy decorator. I do it all last minute, and that's about a few weeks before Christmas. Don't even ask me how long it takes to take down holiday decorations! This is about early decorating. I guess my left-over decorations could be considered very early decorating.

Anyone Excited For The Holiday Season?

Totally!!! I know its a little early, but im already listening to xmas music! It just goes by way to fast!

Why do I feel like I’m not excited about the holidays anymore?

The holidays were only important to me when my 2 sons were youngsters. I wanted to make their Xmas fun, even though we didn’t have much money to spend. Most of my shopping was from the Sears catalog, but I always tried to get something they really wanted. I had them mark the pages in the catalog. This was in the 60s-70s, so they were easily satisfied. If I had children today, they would feel sadly disappointed that I couldn’t buy the high tech toys that most children in my area receive these days.When I was a child, the holidays weren’t really celebrated because we were very poor. Sometimes social services would bring some things and food. Once a neighbor brought wrapped gifts. I received kitchen items since I was the surrogate mother at 9 after my mother left my brother and I when I was 7 and he was a year old. I’d been cooking and cleaning since she left.The one Xmas I remember was when my father was working, and bought a lot of expensive gifts (even a movie projector!) But he was an alcoholic, and the day ended in violence. I was 7, and I remember telling him “You didn’t get me anything!” I knew even at that tender age that Xmas wasn’t about things, but about feelings.That’s been a lifetime theme for me. I don’t feel excited about holidays. I know that they have been manufactured for various reasons. One is to bring families together, even though alcohol can bring violence to an otherwise potentially happy occasion. The biggest reason is to get people to “buy” stuff.During my 18 year marriage, my husband always shopped at the last minute for any holiday. And in our 15th year, I said “Let’s not exchange gifts anymore.” He was shocked, and didn’t believe me, until he realized that I hadn’t bought him anything.Most of the gifts he got for me, were things I didn’t want, or showed that he didn’t really know me, even after all those years. So, I decided to forgo disappointment, and give us both freedom from the pressure. I don’t know if I ever told anyone about this, and not sure if I even told my sons.Gift giving is fraught with anxiety, unless you’re wealthy and money is no object. If your wife wants a pink diamond, she gets it. If your husband wants a new Ferrari, he gets it. I wonder if the Kardashians ever get bored with all that stuff. I also wonder if they get excited by the holidays. You may be in good company….

How far in advance should I send out holiday party invites?

Send it now and just add the comment you stated here: :We know you'll be busy during the Holiday Season so we're hoping you'll save this date on your calendar for us to get together."

I can't wait for my holiday. What do I do to take my mind off of it?

Well, of course try to keep yourself busy I.e reading, gym , Netflix etc.However, I always do feel very excited before my upcoming holiday too. I like to download many different informing travel apps, research about the location and it’s “secret spots”. Research about its history of the given place, restaurants to go to, must non-tourist places to visit. (try Sygic travel app, or even just look at the Tripadvisor app.)At the end of the day, you are doing a productive research which will pay off during your holiday+ at some point you will get tired of researching and thinking about it!:)) works for me tho!

How common is it for a narcissist to ask you to take a holiday together very early in the relationship? If so, what could be their reason?

Accelerating a romantic relationship in inappropriate ways is the hallmark of a narcissist. Asking you to go on a holiday with them early in a relationship is part of the love bombing process.Narcs normally go to great lengths to hurry up the courtship phase because it is the least gratifying part of the relationship for them. They’re eager to get past that so they can get to the devaluing stage. That’s where they get their kicks.They enjoy getting someone to fall hard and fast because it is a gigantic power trip. They are truly excited about having a brand new source and that might look like love to the other person.They will then slowly control, manipulate and bully their new ‘love’ until the person who gave them the benefit of the doubt and allowed the narc into their life is totally humiliated and filled with self doubts. They get off on breaking their partner down to the point that they are a hollowed out shell of the person they once were.The part that non-narcs never seem to understand is they are falling in love, but the narc does not have the capacity to care about them in return. During the falling in love and getting close phase, the narc is simply reflecting back the emotions the other person is showing, manipulating them into a false sense of security, and forcing the relationship into existence. It feels like both of them are falling in love but that is simply not what’s happening. The narc has intentionally chosen his next victim and is excitedly grooming them for the chaotic and humiliating abuse that follows.

Why don't I get excited about marriage?

21 years old girl. Hmmmm…Anyways it’s too early to get excited about marriage too much. As far as thinking about it is concerned, you are definitely doing it, hence the question. Marriage is not about the ceremoney, it’s about the person you are getting married to and also the family of the person. In some cases family is more important than the person Himself, so be wise when looking.You’ll find someone, someone will come searching, for you. Marriage is the process of making oneself COMPLETE. The “Purush”, who came via your Father, is present in Nirakaar(formless) form in You, the day you find your mate, THAT NIRAKAAR PURUSH WILL TAKE A FORM AND COME FOR YOU. THAT DAY YOU WILL REALIZE YOUR WOMANHOOD. SIMILARLY FOR BOYS.SO EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO ENJOY THIS LIFE TO IT’S FULLEST< YOU MUST GET MARRIED AND ENJOY IT, EVERY ASPECT OF IT…GOOD LUCK…

I'm not excited for Christmas?

Is this weird? I'm a (learning) christian and I do celebrate Christmas because it has always been a very important holiday for my family...But I realized that I am not excited at all this year for some reason. It hasn't really snowed this year so it won't be a white Christmas but I feel like that shouldn't matter. Why am I not excited??? I'm 19 and in college so I don't believe in Santa (obviously).
Is anyone else having this problem? Does the excitement for big holidays decrease as you get older or something??

It's only June and I'm already excited for Christmas?

Me too! I always get excited early, your not weird at all it's natural holiday season is the best time of the year! My birthdays October so as soon as that's over with I get mega excited! After all it's only 6 months left until Christmas come August it'll be 4 months left! But you are not weird I'm excited to!:)
