Christmas Day seems anticlimactic now

When I was younger, Christmas Day/Morning was the money shot. All the anticipation and counting down was for this. Now, because of my kids having wives and in-laws, everything is done by Christmas Eve for me. Last night was the big family get together. All of the gifts were opened, the spread was eaten, the grandchildren and nieces and nephews played with toys, the outside fire was built and beer was drunk. Now, I’ve been up since 8:00, wife is visiting her sister, and I’ve been alone, drinking coffee, and looking at TD.
Not necessarily complaining. Blessed in every way. Just seems weird that Christmas Day has come to this.

I’ve been cooking for 3 1/2 days.
Last evening there were 30 people at my house...I’m enjoying the quiet for now.

Welcome to not being a child. I use it as an excuse to day drink.

I walked into my mother-in-law's home on Christmas Eve. I asked her 'where is your Christmas tree?' She said she took it down because she was tired of looking at it.
THAT IS WHY you don't put your tree up three weeks before Thanksgiving.
It is time to return Christmas to its rightful time and place. Christmas ought to be a special day in and of itself!

Like many have said it happens when you age. Just enjoy your kids excitement and remember that use to be you.
Merry Christmas.
