Did the Grinch Steal Christmas?: 8 Reasons Christmas Feels Late this Year

2015, if we sum it up, is the year viral sensations—to #AlDub, to #APEChottie, and of course, #tanimbala. With all the big things that happened this year, Christmas somehow feels like just another trending hashtag.

Even if you put together Jose Mari Chan, Ayala Triangle’s Lights and Sounds show, and all Christmas sales, Christmas still feels like a few months away instead of 11 days, and here are 8 reasons why.

 

8. Payday seems so far away

Christmas is the season of giving, but seeing all the sales and bazaars everywhere while your wallet has recently become the world’s latest sinkhole just doesn’t make you believe that Christmas is truly in your heart.

 


7. You still have to work

Via www.giphy.com

Christmas has become the d-day of your work week/month/year/life. You keep telling yourself that the moment you finish with work, you can embrace the season. But you know you’re lying to yourself. There’s just so much work to do and so little will to work with.

 

6. Simbang gabi

Maybe going to Simbang Gabi and devouring tsokolate puto bumbong in the middle of the cold (or not) night with your squad will finally get you into the holiday spirit. Maybe. You won’t know till Wednesday. But maybe it will.

 

5. The Adele feels

Via www.giphy.com

Ikaw ba’y nalulungkot at walang makausap? Blame it on Adele’s comeback. Blame it on how her voice and her words rub in the fact that your love life is as silent as the night.

 


4. The politics

It’s not even campaign season yet and all we see in the news are these people. And as much as you don’t want to read or hear anything about them, you can’t avoid it because you’re supposed to be a responsible citizen. Can we put a pause on propaganda and intrigue and pretend like we love each other just until Christmas day?

 

3. The heat

 

We still havn’t gotten used to summer in December. Our feelings are all mixed up. Our seasonal affective disorder can’t even get it right. Isn’t this supposed to be the last -ber month of the year?

 

2. The traffic

Via giphy.com

As if work and the heat aren’t tiring (and day-ruining) enough, the harsh reality of being stuck in traffic for three hours++ makes people less and less excited and more and more annoyed about the holiday craze.

 

1. The disheartening global news

Via recorderpost.com

On a more serious note, recent happenings in Syria, Paris and San Bernardino are enough to reflect this Christmas than celebrate. Although Christmas is always a great time to for fun and good memories, it’s important to remember that not everyone is not as blessed as others.

You may say that news like these make the holidays feel less like the joyous season it’s supposed to be, it’s better to look at it as a chance to understand the true meaning of gift-giving.
