Annoyance? Indifference? Unalloyed delight?
(All of the above, perhaps?)

No other hughmahnn emotions installed.

Pretty numb to everything by now, I barely even notice it's there. There's no joy to found in the Holidays for me, nor is there worth in being a scrooge. Just let it pass over you, and continue that dreary endless march towards the eventual end.

The older I get, the less I care about holidays and ceremonies. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my own holidays being somewhere enjoying myself, but rituals generally stink.
When the kids were little it was great to get excited with them about various events, but now that they are adults it is different for them, too, of course.

For me, Christmas has always been mostly about the sensations and getting into the Christmas mood: the sights, sounds, smells and especially: tastes. As long as I get my traditional food, drink and snacks, and the sight and smell of a Christmas tree, I'm good.
We're only four people in my family: all grown-ups, and our tradition is limited to a dinner and dessert at Christmas Eve. We have practically abolished presents. I'm usually cooking half of the food, but I love cooking and trying new things. We've had a few food-traditions over the years that have come and gone.

On Christmas day I will be helping my cousin install a new hot water cylinder in my house, I can't wait.

what y'all up 2
Having got up at 7:30 I was finally free to do whatever I wanted at 20:30, after finding nothing of interest online I played a game badly and slipped into my standard nihilistic introspection. Would go to bed and hope tomorrow's better but have to stay up to check the water heater works and that wont cut in for a couple more hours...
Back to looking at pointless stuff I don't even want to buy on ebay I guess, probably more interesting than tv.

if the tonghao for hotpot is good life is good
The kids had fun cooking and making drinks.
Christmas films and foods don't interest and never have

I will say my attitude towards snow has certinally changed.
What once was a representation of newfound freedom on days where enslavement was on the agenda, has now become a bitter slushy drudge against the disruptive frozen milky menace. What once was a guaranteed day off has become just another struggle to inconvenience you from doing the activities you already don't want to do.
I hate rain, but man do I really hate the snow.

And I naively thought it was just the UK!
