Though Christmas was never really a thing for me... All holidays (specially) here seem to have become just another day. There is no special love in the air or no special gift for an occasion, no special dress for the day... Its just another day. The mundaneness of this situation is what makes me sad. Not the fact that no one celebrates anything anymore (with me?) but the fact that it's just not fun anymore. Birthdays, Christmas's, Holis, Diwalis, are now an excuse to either just drink or sleep in. You have to really beg people to gather together to celebrate things, even your own birthday. No one has that kind of time to waste and I don't have that kind of emotions and energy to waste.
Even then, maybe it's my fault that I don't really get along with a lot of people in the new place I am settled in. However, the fact still remains no one really cares in the true sense. Getting together and celebrating with gifts and no alcohol irks people now. Maybe that's the ways of the grown up world. And I am just not ready to grow up yet.
