Christmas Time

When I was young, Christmas used to be my favourite time of year and now that I'm getting older it seems to fly by pretty fast. I remember how much I liked decorating the tree when I was little but now that I'm grown it feels more like a chore. I like how the house looks when all the lights and decorations are finished but I don't actually enjoy putting them up like how I did years ago. My siblings and I used to get a ton of gifts and the bottom of the tree would be flooded with presents but there is a huge difference from then. Usually we each get a gift each and then from other relatives we just get money and I've realized this time of year doesn't feel as special to me as it once did. I still enjoy having quality time with my family around this time but since we're all older, we have busier schedules and we don't always get enough time together. I'm really starting to miss the old days and part of me wishes I could go back in time so that Christmas could feel as special as it use to.
