Linking together the threads on early Christmas hype and displaying flags:
Over the years I have found myself participating less and less in various observances.
I just don't care. When I had an SO, I would participate in but not organize events/celebrations.
I noticed some here do/feel the same.
I don't even do solstice or birthday anymore.
It just seems like another job.
A coworker: "You don't do Christmas! Why not?"
Answer: "I don't have to."
Even as a child I just played along to keep my parents happy; they understood and didn't require more than minimal participation.
The day or so after a holiday IS a good time to hit the grocery store for leftovers/specials.
