I know I sound like a Scrooge, and I'm a little turned off by my tone myself, but does anyone feel the same? Anybody think back to holidays of your past and wonder why it's just not so enjoyable anymore? Anybody else out there who would pay big money just to be able to skip it this year?

Maybe if I worked in an office away from home or was around a lot of people I'd feel the spirit, but I'm Isolated with the exception of two part time assistants who help me. I only have phone and email contact with the other workers as they are scattered through out London and the home counties.
I think for some people they just get weary of the whole thing and that includes me. I mean you can only cook chicken so many ways and it can only taste so good. It's lost the magic it once had for me although I still enjoy some aspects....just the build up makes me anxious and atimes very nasty. Reason why I am up so early in the morning. Gonna get a start on the day, leave early and get back home before I loose all feelings of goodwill to my fellow man on the mean roads of London.
