I definitely get that. I can’t seem to muster any feelings toward some holidays anymore, despite all the fun practices going on. It’s not really any reason that I understand completely either; my only guess is that it’s a combination between missing out on some fun events thanks to other things in life interfering, and repetition making each year feel more like a cycle, where holidays just happen to be part of that cycle.

It makes me want to not go through that cycle again.

It makes me want to not go through that cycle again.

yep! Exactly how I feel for all holidays and my birthday. Sad I can't feel excited anymore but it really does feel like another day.

Fr, unless it's Halloween. Halloween is my weakness

@Srishty Sharma constant dopamine takes away the simplest of pleasure which were mustered way back when we didn't use any phones or atleast not as advanced devices as we do now. That should explain the difference between then and now.

@Tvix_x it isn't only about phones... there's other things going on peoples' lives

@Tvix_x it isn't only about phones... there's other things going on peoples' lives

Same! I still can't believe it's 2023 already. It honestly feels like somebody pressed the fast forward button in Jan 2022 and I haven't lived anything as I used to ever since. Everything has turned too... bland and I just can't enjoy anything anymore. Even if I do, I just forget it and life goes on again, as stressful as it was.

Put down the phone, stay away from social media and just go out there and do stuff, take responsibility. Life changes drastically and thats when you start to enjoy holiday seasons etc..

I didn’t know it was Christmas in 2017 until my friend texted me “Merry Christmas!” So I was really confused and just replied, “It’s not Christmas wdym”

It's more like "You have more interesting/busy things to do and you just forget about it" a part of growing older I guess.

Same.. and with each year it just passes faster

Same, I just finished my first semester in college, and this was the first year where I really just had no holiday spirit. Christmas just felt like another day except I got gifts.

I wanna go back to elementary school when I made Christmas trees out of ice cream cones 😢

I've felt like this last year when I was 13 too. I don't feel excited for these things either and I thought it was just me.

everyone around me has "WOW CHRISTMAS!!! WOW HANNUKAH (sorry i dont know how to spell it)!" energy while im just here like "Oh. Christmas. yay ig?"

@zorgus Auxlor hahaha my bday is in 5 days.. Damn. RIP childhood.. 😞

@SS22 lucky basted, once I turned 13 I started questioning life and realising that my childhood was basically over now realising that it was a trip to death from here on out even though I’m still young…. And I still think like this…

I’ve had this feeling the last 2 years… like Christmas a few days ago got me feeling real depressed because I wasn’t getting the excited feeling I used to get when I was younger, and that this would just keep happening over and over again till I’m dead.

spend time with your friends/family, the christmas spirit is gonna come way easier

@SS22 dude I’m 11 and I get this it’s not an age this more of a mindset sometimes the holidays seem like they are months away and yet tomorrow is Christmas, or Halloween, Hanukkah, Easter, etc. anything the holidays just sneak up on you some times so it’s harder to get excited

theres such a big buildup from the moment halloween is over and then on the day itself it ends just like that

Just had Christmas today lol, this was the first Christmas where I didn’t really have any fun, and found it harder to be happy, glad it’s normal lol

Me after Christmas: "Wait, Christmas is already over?"

Me after Christmas: "Wait, Christmas is already over?"

I think it's also something to do with growing up too. Christmas doesn't feel as magical and wonderful as it used to

Bro Christmas is the birth of Jesus, if you "have no feeling for this holiday" you don't understand the true meaning

@SS22 well just remember to try to not really think about it stay positive and try to spend as much time as possible with friends

@Yuri Bezmenov the great i agree but its quite hard to do any progress, most of the time you actually have to wait for anything to happen

If each holiday is the same you aren't making progress in your social life I think.

I started to feel holiday like that after I think about my job or future. There are too many things we have to care in real life so maybe we dont get ready to enjoy it...and someday we realise we forgot about it. I wonder if my parents felt same way while they growing up.

yeah. im not old enough to stop feeling holidays, yet i just don’t feel holidays anymore. i want 2016 back.

Halloween is the only one I straight up still enjoy maybe even more as a Adult because I love handing out candy and seeing kids in creative costumes and decorating for Halloween is fun. This Year I dressed up Skeletons as Jesse and Walter White and had a sign that said Breaking Bones.

Gacha is cringe you can't change my mind

Ouhf i thought it meant that ur an introvert

Ouhf i thought it meant that ur an introvert

Facts, I don't get excited for Christmas like I used to. Every year it just becomes more and more of another obligation to go through with.

It kinda seems after 2019 the charm in literally everything died and I feel it too and christmas to me is just a thing instead of a holiday we used to anticipate as kids.

even tho I'm only 14, since 2 years I feel the same, or more like do not feel

@buny0058 true, I’m thankful that I had a few extra things to make my childhood a lot happier. I just wish there is a solution to making holidays feel less repetitive

So true, sometimes I remember things from two days like they happened the same day, because they've all mushed together into the cycle.

@ionic777<br>At least you had celebrated holidays in youe lifetime.

Im like, uhm, after you said this, I feel happy that im only 13.

Oh thank god that’s normal… I can’t seem to match the excitement people have around me, and it bums me out because I really do want to feel excited. But I can’t.


I had this feeling for the last two years and it made me quite sad, since Christmas was one of my favourite holidays. However, now that I've finished school I can happily say that the joy has returned

@The Gas Guzzler that’s...... reassuring

@Grandma Driving™ same, unfortunately :/

idk christmas and new year is like average day for me for some reason, like i'm not celebrating it at all

So there truly is light at the end of the tunnel, there is still hope

@paz animation jus be quiet kid, you’re not supposed to be here yet

So lucky I want to get over with useless school which teaches how to prove a triangle 😑

@The Gas Guzzler jeez human, thank you for that depressing quote. i don't think the op quite appreciates your unnecessary comment.

Dang bro! This song reminds me of my sad and lonely days!

@Grandma Driving™find Jesus Christ, he will bring you hope and help you during tribulations.

@Grandma Driving™ school ruins fun, man...

You're lucky! I just turned 30 this year on December 5th and I haven't felt the joy of Christmas or this time of year in general since I finished school. It was like a lot of the feelings I felt about the holidays were shaped by school. I'm thinking all the class parties, the fun little things we did like watching holiday movies and stuff, all of that stuff they do in school around the holidays. I get excited for Christmas, sure, but once it comes, it just feels like any other day of the year except everything is closed.

@The Gas GuzzlerDon't.. worry? No. Worry. You don't want it to leave.

i just had christmas and i felt this feeling too it is sad, i'm not even old 😭

@The Gas Guzzler I think thats something they will worry about-

Oh thank God cuz I just entered highschool maybe there's still hope for all of us

@Grandma Driving™ It hasn't been  easy on anyone

im still in school but damn

holidays fell off
they are barely fun despite all the activities
id much rather stay in the comfort of my own room while drinking eggnog and talking to friends

holidays just dont feel as good when you get older

HA!

im a child and i understand this

I HAD TO LOOK UP HOW LONG IT IS TILL THE HOLIDAY

so you are wrong!

It seems like school just ruins everything. When I'm in college nothing in the outside world feels fun anymore, it always feels like I have an obligation to study/work on assignments and nothing else

Don't worry, one day it will leave again. And this time,  it will never come back.

@Grandma Driving™ same man, its just depressing

I don’t get the feeling anymore, since my life has came apart, it’s all been grey. Nothing to look forward to on the holidays


Damn, this hits very hard, and hits harder when you do the exact same thing in your birthday, just another day

exactly bro like I want to be excited cause its my birthday but Im not.

I totally forgot it was my birthday one time and didn't remember until people started wishing me happy birthday 💀

I might be late to see this, but this is so true. Tomorrow is my birthday, and the joy just really doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Agreed, i am not excited for presents these days

@sora oh, then even if it felt like another normal day happy late b-day

yeah. my birthday, which was two days ago, didnt really feel special. just another day.

Yeah....everything seems normal... Nothing excites me

@liivᰔᩚ I hope everything gets better for you

@liivᰔᩚ I hope everything gets better for you

EXACTLY. my birthday is in two days and when i realised it i took it as - meh, just another day, finally ppl will be kind for me, just for one day. idgaf.

@CLoh dont worry I'll be fine, thanks for the concern though

@miguito My birthday is the same except it's with halloween!

@taco yeah... dull. I can still have fun but the nostalgic emotions are gone

Christmas halloween all holidays are just 😐<br>But birthdays are always the best cause you’re closer to death since y’all are depressed clearly

@abd1245 let your mom do whatever she wants, if that makes her happy

@Spark bro really making fun of someone for saying words 😂

Yeah my mom even told me she'll treat me on my birthday but I refused  .

@miguito as a kid you basically got to celebrate 2 birthday's your winning in life

For me, my mom invites everyone from my family, even people I don't know, to my party. It's special when I get to see family I don't see often but other holidays it's the same thing every year.

fr man i keep forgetting im 16 and my birthday was 4 months ago i still think im 15

@Der KellerbaronClearly nothing has meaning to you if you’re wasting your ass off rinsing people in comments. Get a job, ya bum.

my birthday is on 25 dec and i feel it was a normal day with everyday struggle 😧 . Atleast its  normal to feel like this .

Christmas hits different during childhood 😔

Christmas hits different during childhood 😔

@Der Kellerbaron Grow up if you're going to talk to people like this. Realize that even though these people are on the other side of your screen, they're still people.

@Der Kellerbaron I am. You have a problem with that?

@Der Kellerbaron No, I'm not. It's not cool to assume my age based off of my opinions. If you really believe holidays are now getting duller, cherish your memories you've had on previous holidays.

@YourPrincessEmma This is the exact issue I was worried about. You really can't assume my age based off of my opinions.

real.. This is the 2nd year I've considered 0ff1ng mys31f on my birthday because of how alone I felt.

My birthday and Christmas are the same day, so I agree to disagree stranger! :)

Yeah. Funny how my birthday is the 26th of december and even tho i am supposed to have a celebration that lasts 2 whole days none are exiting anymore

@Der Kellerbaron bro said dummy, above the age of 5, right?

@Spark you realized it very fast dummy hahaha

@Spark you realized it very fast dummy hahaha

seeing pictures of yourself through the years and noticing that the smiles grow less genuine as you get older is the most painful part of this feeling

Underrated comment. At 10yo I peaked and then my smiles got faker and faker


This hits hard. Christmas is, and probably always will be my favorite holiday, but it's not the same. I miss the giddiness I used to feel when I was younger. I always feel happy that its Christmas soon, but it's not the same excitement that I always used to feel. I remember the night of Christmas eve, so excited I could barely fall asleep. It's lost its magic and joy and it just feels a little different than normal days.


That has been happening to me with Halloween for some years now and it's sad because Halloween was my favorite holiday. In 2019, I got lost out on the street for hours in a Halloween night; in 2020 I had to spend the whole Halloween night finishing school tasks which obviously ruined it for me and by 2021 I was no longer excited for Halloween :( However, with Christmas I can't not get excited because I really like spending time with my family and celebrating and partying with them. In some way, it's not the holiday itself that excites me but the traditions.

I never want anything for my birthday or Christmas anymore and it’s sad

Im crying out my ass from that fake story

@Maus Ikr I had a damn test on that day 💀

Mfs put Halloween on a Monday this year 😭


this makes "the real treasure is the friends we made along the way" have a stronger meaning

And then when they get a girlfriend, your best "friend" abandons you..

stop bc i said this exact thing to my friend today as a joke

@jayden did u just call me the brawlhalla guy?? ;_;

@Chloomfree you’ve clearly never been truly alone for years on end

@abdyrobloxer it's not that bad to be alone just talk in the mirror make your self a friend by being a friend to yourself. :)

RB Battles song *The friend We Made A Long The Way

@Kyumi2580fun I feel you. Hope things get better

@Ricardo Augusto this. I have a "friend" or two but i wouldn't call any of them BFFs or even friends. Like, maybe i like them but we rarely spend time and gave fun toghether. <br>I have an inability to make friends and have fun at social gatherings.

I have an inability to make friends and have fun at social gatherings.

And then you realize you made no friends along the way :(

and that always lets you know that you have no friends.

Except the friends part is either nowhere to be found, or so confusing you don't know if you do have friends


The piano really solidified the feeling for me.

We are all longing for the feeling of christmases past, and there's no telling when it'll be back. I'm not even an adult yet and still this feeling haunts me, but knowing that we all had those good times when we were younger tells me that it's not the specific year, or some bad event that has taken away the joy from christmas. It's the fact that we are all growing up.

I just hope that we can all find that festive feeling one more time this year.


I sort of felt this this year but was very fortunate to still have family in my city to get together with. It wasn't quite the same but it wasn't devoid of cheer either. You just have to consciously reach out to the people you care about.


This is happened to me first time when I was turning 11. 9th bday, 10th bday I still had my excitement. In November, (my birth year, I was 10 turning 11. I thought That I would feel some excitement but i just had this numb feeling. Felt like another day. My mother told me that it was the calmest birthday I ever had, no friends, no crazy music no cakes and no presents that day(they arrived soon I will die without presents) similarly this year I turned 12 but I still didn't feel any excitement just experienced some existential crises. Same for New year. Usually I'm very excited about it but i was just watching a movie then getting ready for bed when I saw the time (12:14am) and I was just like "cool. Happy new year" Feels kinda bad.


its crazy how I used to be so excited and now I'm just like "yea its Christmas...cool"


It's not the year that's lonely, it's just us simply aging. Just like our parents were probably happier in the 80s than in the 2000s - 2010s (which were the years we were happy). It's a cycle

And plus we've gone through 2 years of hell.


I remember being around 13/14 when Christmas just seemed like another day. I’m in my mid 30’s now and get to enjoy it a little bit again with my son seeing how happy he gets. If you ever have children that feeling will come back to you in a different way.

@Tyler's Stuff indeed it is. Made a year after YouTube was invented

Yes. This is also another reason I hope to have children one day..

I'm 14 and lost my interest in Christmas this year, i just don't feel the magic in the air that I used to... (Although, back then I felt that same "magic" whenever my father got McDonald's)

As a religious person, I always get excited for Christmas, because I know that it's the day I may connect closest with Christ. Though for the non-religious I can see how it's hard to celebrate it

It for me was always exciting but it kinda gets old after like 12 ,13 years I started to think well fun family time but it's kinda just another average day with festivities and delicious food

Wiiu Is Garbage I Dont Actually Think That ok Toad

I'm 15 years old and yeah, past christmas wasnt that good for me, neither im exited for this one, after realizing how harsh is life after the death of my father due to covid little to no-one thing amuses me. i dont wanna say that the death of my father was the cause of not enjoying holidays, is just, that you get kinda bored of it...

@Nyko <br>I see you’re subscribed to Imagine Dragons.

@Nyko
I see you’re subscribed to Imagine Dragons.

before we adopted our kid I struggle with a lot of existentialism and maybe depression, now I have a purpose in life seeing how my family grows up and watch over them :)

Yeah, but then YOUR children grow up. We didn't all come from nothingness, we all have parents. Children may change 15 or so Christmas', but then you're back to... this video.

Just you wait for all the Christmas' your adult kids AREN'T there because you have to switch off holidays with their partners family. Having kids will arguably make Christmas a lot worse, not better.

So let's please stop with "kids make life so much more happier and meaningful" because I'm sick of seeing I and my partners parents crying that "they don't have their children anymore"

@TypicalGhost im 14 rn and lets say im excited lol, I remember christmas when I was like 8, my mom bought me a hot wheels track, coolest christmas ever!

your words gave me hope that my unsatisfied of everything stage will stop

thank you internet stranger

@I M J A Ysame, i’m 14 right now and it’s starting to wear off.

im turning 15 on 28.12 and im 14 rn honestly xmas isnt fun anymore

@KingHadi2424 kid adults dont find that funny, only 10 year olds do

Thanks man, I think I'm not exited for Christmas since 2019

I lost that joy for a while now, but I have a little brother now, he's 10 (I think, lol) and he reminds me of the joys of the holidays again

Kids change you, I don't know how, but,<br>I don't want to change yet, I have something to do, and it will take a long time, ha ha, how a father can love something that can damage him?

Kids change you, I don't know how, but,
I don't want to change yet, I have something to do, and it will take a long time, ha ha, how a father can love something that can damage him?

im 13 atm and im not that pumped that its in 3 days

Yeah I felt like christmas wasn’t christmas anymore when I was about 10

Before as a kid my parents really loved surprising me with gifts when I woke up playing it off as Santa giving them. Even one time I put out cookies for Santa my dad ate them (I found out when I was older) which is ironic since before I kept telling him not to since they were for "Santa". I guess I made Christmas a little bit happy for them as my mom told me they loved surprising me back then.

I’m in my early 20s I’m not too excited as I was when I was younger but I now I concentrate  on getting gifts for my parents so I can see them get excited the way I was. You know, get them something that will let their inner child come out with wonder and excitement

I remember them first being awkward and then came the Numbness

That’s funny because Christmas seem like another day to me

@GideonIre I was referring to the Christmas as “it” but I see how the syntax is off there I’ll correct it

im 13 rn and find it mid, glad to know its gonna come back when i do christmas with my childern

I’m 15 currently. First year I’m not necessarily excited for Christmas and I’m super festive.

Feels weird

Aww that is so cool man. I am wishing you and your son the best christmas

When I was 13 Christmas was amazing and when I was 14 it was also amazing but that was the last time it was because 15 is when it just seems like another day


I understand this. I want to be in the spirit, but I can’t as much as the previous years. It’s hard man.


Im around that age where most people get "bored" of Christmas, but honestly, I still love it. Dont get me wrong, I used to be wayyyyyy more excited for Christmas than now, but I still love all the feelings that come with Christmas, hot chocolate while chilling on the couch, marshmallows by the fire pit, candles burning, and waking up on Christmas day is still extremely exciting!


Honestly, finals kind of ruined it for me imo. It still feels like Christmas didn't came yet. It didn't even feel like Christmas for me, not waking up somewhere like 6 in the morning to see the presents under the tree. I don't know if it's because of losing motivation on the holiday or I was just suddenly hit with a mood swing.

For a second i thought you meant world cup finals


it’s pretty sad how the holiday spirit dies with age. i remember being so excited for winter/christmas every year, visiting my relatives and having fun parties with the whole family/friends. recently it’s been nothing but staying home and doing nothing, just waiting for the new year to start. i’ve had this feeling for a long while now, but dwelling on it because of this video makes me even more sad. with that being said, happy holidays everyone :)


This has been happening with me with every holiday, from my birthday to Halloween to Christmas. It just feels like another day in the vast expanse of school and my social life. I am usually really good at faking it but this year I just did not have the energy for it, I don’t know if there is something wrong with me or if it’s something else. I hope you all have a great week ☺


Damn, this hits hard. Christmas went from that magical time of the year where it's snowing, you get presents and you meet up with all your relatives to have a feast. Now, for me at least, it's just 2 weeks of nothing, nothing but making the same recipes and pulling Christmas crackers all over again, all before taking down the decorations and putting them back in the rat-infested attic. It's lost it's joy and it's magic and in it's place it's left a bucket full of sighs to be used when doing the same monotonous chores every damn year. I hope that if I ever have children in the future, I'll be worthy enough for them to share that child-like excitement with me too.

@phytoplankter I'm the same age and it's the opposite for me

Christmas ain't about decorations or food

i still love christmas, every year i get so excited just to know i’m with family, and it’s just a happy time for me. it was kind of a normal day for me this year but i did get some great gifts

When it comes I can't visit relatives since they live in Asia, however it's nice to share food with my mum's or dad's friends, I don't really invite my friends since they've moved on but I enjoy the spirit.

Its a hot summer during Christmas where I live

How old have u been when it started being „boring“ for u? That’s the most important thing I would like to know

@jackyy I remember my first Christmas after my parents divorced. Oddly enough I was 16 at the time as well, I definitely understand the hollow feeling, decorations everywhere, presents under the tree, Christmas movies nearly every night, and I felt nothing. I didn't feel happy, I didn't feel sad, I just felt nothing.

 It all came to the surface on Christmas morning, I woke up before anyone else and I had dreamed about my dad being there with us while we were opening presents like it used to be, and I broke down completely, sobbing as quietly as I could into my pillow because my step brother was sleeping behind me on my bed (I was on the couch in my room, I chose sleep there and let him have the bed) I couldn't get over how my dad was supposed to be there, he had always been there on Christmas and now he wasn't, I was angry and sad, but in some strange way I felt some sort of acceptance too, and when I calmed down I just got up, and had Christmas like nothing had ever happened.

@The_SUS_Creator personally i try to just stay happy about the little things, for example i find christmas lights super pretty so i love those, and i like baking cookies and stuff, so just find things to get excited for and it will stay exciting

@phytoplankter me too I m 14 but idk it’s the first that it doesn’t really feel special to me anymore

𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖌 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋

@S U B L I C  literally anyone can get rats at any time, tf is your problem?

you got rats in your attic? That's gross dude; get off youtube and fix your shit

@phytoplankter me too bro I only sometimes get tried or something maybe for him it's because he's just a little bit alone and I feel that because i also have big family to celebrate it's sad being alone on christmas sid reilly if you're also reading this i hope you better dude

@Xenosblaze no, I don't even want expensive things, even a small thing like a little toy would be better than clothes that barely fit me.

From every account, if you plan to have kids, your best years of Christmas are yet to come

@Xenosblaze  dude doesnt even appreciate that some people dont even celebrate Christmas like that

@Some seville he just wants expensive things 🙄

it was never geniune for me. when i remember it makes me sad. fake relatives and the "family" that didnt care about me. everything is in pieces rn. nobody speaks to none and im happy about that lol.

If you spend Christmas on your own there’s little you can do- but for me and my family, even though everyone in our family is wiser- we still do our Santa rituals.

Keeping the spirit alive really kept the magic for me, even with how silly it is, even though we all know. Maybe it’d work for you too, though maybe it’s a bit of a jump.

@Banana Fone  atleast you get gifts :/. my family doesn't even celebrate it

@Banana Fone i like christmas presents no matter the costs, it feels sentimental that my family spent their money just to try and give me an enjoyable holiday, even if i'm 16 and my parents are divorced as of now so christmas feels hollow, i will always cherish those small little gifts that i got

(P.S most of them were either clothes or bags)

Honestly in my opinion I love Christmas but the gifts I get are really trash, my cousins just get me the same thing every year, clothes, not even the good kind most of them don't even fit me, and it kind of shows that gifts kind of do matter in the grand scheme of things.

personally i'm quite young (14) but i only enjoy christmas more each year


God I feel this since I was 12 but more so for this decade.
My grandpa died at 92 around a week before Christmas 2020 and I'm still just apathetic to the holiday.
He'd always jokingly tell us "Enjoy me while I'm here because I might not be here next Christmas!"... and died the literal week before the holiday.

@herr forehead It was rather boring tbh, family member had COVID so we stayed home. But I at least looked forward too it more than I did in 2020 or 2021.

Ah I’m so sorry that sounds really tough. Holidays just aren’t a happy time for everyone. But I hope this year you have a good one


As a kid I thought I would never understand adult things. They just hit at some point of life...


I have never felt this before, until this year. Strange.

♡ 𝑭𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒊𝑷𝒂𝒘𝒛 ♡


this is so sad and relatable at the same time. 2019 was the last ‘normal’ christmas for me, when i was 15. Then, 2020 happened, mental health issues, loosing my grandpa one week before my birthday in 2021, leaving my friend group last summer because i didn’t feel accepted and comfortable (definitely better to be alone than in a ‘fake’ friend group tho), my grandma passing away last week… right now, in my house, there is absolutely christmas decorations, no christmas vibe or spirit, i see people having fun with their loved ones and i go like “mh, must be nice”.

I am in a good place in life, physically and mentally. 2022 has been such a good year for me: graduating from high school, starting university, making new friends, seeing new places, finally practicing calisthenics regularly and seeing the results… but there are moments where i just sit down and reflect, and feel… lonely. I hope i’ll be able to improve my social life aspect in 2023.

Read chicken soup for grieving soul,it helps a bit to come out of our grief to comfort others going through this path

for me it started going downhill near the end of 2019

At least someone's having something better going for them!

Best of luck and be healthy! 😊

Hope it's uphill for you from here on out.


This year was my first time feeling this, and seeing this feels pretty surreal, but oddly comforting knowing I'm not alone


The older I get, the more blurred my childhood memories become. The only thing left for me is to hold on to those memories that are the only thing that makes me feel something lately before they escape. The older I get, the more I wish not to have the knowledge I have now and for the magic of those simple festivities to return.

@Der Kellerbaron My young dumba$$ trying to insult someone on the internet:

@TREES Unfortunately it‘s pretty hard to take pictures of past events

@Der Kellerbaron your actually like under the age of 10

@Orange Because YouTube doesn‘t allow dummy hahahah

@Der Kellerbaron I didn't know that some people could be that soulless to insult someone for no actual reason 💀

@Der Kellerbaron what’s funny is you call me a retard but you can’t even spell retard correctly💀 (“retrded”)

@Der Kellerbaron<br>Don't care, didn't ask. Plus, you are a boob.

@Der Kellerbaron
Don't care, didn't ask. Plus, you are a boob.

@Orange speak English, grove street members don‘t know retrded language

@Orange Man you are a straight Busta, grove street Homies don‘t have feelings

@Der Kellerbaronbro by responding to that person you obviously care, Fvcking Neanderthal..

@🔆𖧷 60s Skittle 𖧷🔆 yeah still don‘t care Loser hahahah

@Der Kellerbaron And you literally came out of nowhere. You're not even the person I was answering

I wish I was still a little kid so I could enjoy more things and never worry about my damn future and all the bad things that will happen in the next few decades

Relieving some of these memories also helps. 🤷🏾♂

It's the same for me.. whenever I try and think of the past, it's just blacked out.

Jesus Christ, all of the people in the replies like “Same” is straight fucked

I feel the same, I know they happened but it feels like they didn’t, at the same time

I can relate to the second part. Miss being a kid.

I also feel you. Most of my childhood memories are a blur right now. And I didn't get to experience something fun like most people did like ESHOP DECEMBER 2013'14'15'16'17'18'19' maybe 20 and all that cool nintendo stuff.


I can't believe that i relate this video as a 12 year old,while i see people still having a spirit much older than me (some)

It just hits hard,imagine...your past self having the best time at Christmas with your friends,but now...

Since covid started,i lost my Christmas spirit at a pretty young age


I'm 27 years old and I don't understand lol, it might be because I've loved Christmas non-stop ever since I was a little kid, it gets tough to feel as excited some years but I push through because this celebration is so precious for me, so many great memories attached to it and I bet many more great memories to make in the future because of it.


i feel this... i used to get so excited not just for the celebration itself but for the atmosphere and the togetherness and all the beautiful decorations and fun traditions of holidays. now i just feel like im going through the motions of any sort of fun celebrations. its sad, but i guess its just a part of growing up..


Even as a kid, this feeling is very real to me. I can’t help but not feel any excitement towards Christmas this year, and growing up it seems like I never will again. It’s only so long before such a magical day like Christmas turns into just another day in life


my life has been rough these last few years, this one especially. Instead of just realizing Christmas is here, I am also realizing that all my friends and acquaintances are enjoying their time and making core life memories while I'm here doing nothing. I reminisce on older times when I had everything I wanted, now wishing that I didn't take everything I had for granted. Just wish I could be happy like everyone around me


Man, I miss my childhood the older I get lol...

That's how it works my friend. It only gets worse. You'll miss it more and more.

@LBSCR E2 No. 100 Productions someday you will turn 20 or 30 and feel the same self person but you will look really diferent in the outside but  the same in the inside.

I’m 12 and each day I feel like I’m getting older and older

That one just kicked in today for me 17 :(

@Cher the contradictory nature of human, if you ain't got nothing you want everithing and when you got everithing you feel empty.

When we're younger we want to be older, when we're older we want to be younger.

The memories will be lost to time eventually

I can barely remember mine but I still miss it ig

I also miss my childhood. Christmas slowly loses its magic as you get older

MrPinapple ミスターパイナップル


I just turned 30 this year on December 5th and I haven't felt the joy of Christmas, or this time of year in general, since I finished school. It was like a lot of the feelings I felt about the holidays were shaped by my years in school. I'm thinking it was all of the class parties, the fun little things we did like watching holiday movies, and all of that kind of stuff school did around the holidays. I get excited for Christmas, sure, but once it gets here, it's almost like a disappointment. Maybe that's the wrong word, but it's like getting hyped up for something big and shiny, only to finally get it and have it be something small and dull. It just feels like any other day of the year now, except everything is closed and I can't order dinner if I didn't prepare anything.

Which is another thing I think plays a part in this time of the year. Lately, I haven't been going to see family for the holidays or cooking up large turkey or ham dinners. The pandemic played a large role in that, but it's also that part of the family we normally share Thanksgiving with has been going out of state to be with part of the husband's family. So instead, I'm staying home and having a frozen dinner or something quick I picked up from the store. Plus my grandparents recently passed away and they were a huge part of my holidays growing up, especially grandma (mom's mom), and she passed away in February last year.
I'm hoping one day that holiday joy comes back because I really miss feeling it :<


Honestly,I’m only ten,yet I feel this way. I feel like just as you get older there’s more and more stuff you grow out of.

Do you know I actually miss being your age, even if I didn't believe in Christmas anymore, I was still happy, but now i'm turning 16 and each year I just get sadder tbh.


this is definitely relatable.<br>I remember when it was Monday and my friend said, "oh yeah, you heard its Christmas next week?" and we were just super casual about it, almost as if it was another day of the week. And on the actual Christmas day, i literally woke up and went back to sleep instantly.

Man there was this little feeling of something in my heart that I used to feel every time a holiday rolled around, but that feeling just kept getting more and more faint as I grew up, and now I don't even feel anything anymore.


Yes! I am not the only one that knows of psychic origami! The feeling I get from this is just a normal night, chilling out before I go to sleep or saying goodnight to my friends and family before I go to sleep. Love your videos by the way. Keep making amazing content and stay awesome!😺🤟


The picture of this bedroom gives off "staying the night at grandma's house and sleeping in the guest bedroom" vibes

@NotAVerySmartPerson Sorry for your loss <3

This mf can't build on RBLX (yet he does)

@Masteroogwgay mids My dad's 42 and my mom's 33, I don't think that's old parents considering they all died in their early early 60's

@NotAVerySmartPerson Damn your parents must be old then. But don't get me wrong, having long-term relationships when you're older is way better (I say from my nerd ass that knows everything about phsychology, not experience lol), as if you mate with someone when you're like 40 or so you're most probable to marry and live w that person for the rest of your life, so your parents are smart.

That photo looks like my old houses bathroom.

It reminded me one of the mr. bean's episode of staying at a hotel. He started to jump at the bed and set his own certain sheets and that. Idk gave me mr. Bean nostalgia

To me it gives off "Future crime scene" vibes

I don't have grandparents though, they all died already and never did I get a chance to meet them


Yeah, now and days it just feels like something that's just there for the sake of it. Before I really loved Christmas, but this Christmas and last year I felt nothing, no joy or excitement. I also realized too that it just came to quick. I remember when I wanted it to come quickly it took a long time, like a really long time. Now it just came, unexpectedly and I was in shock but then I went back to saying "oh okay"


I relate to this way to much. Legit today i had the feeling that i really didn't  care about many holidays anymore. A couple years ago i would be so excited for Christmas or Halloween but now i  don't care at all and don't even realise we are near them anymore.


Im not even that old but man do i relate. Even when im with my family like the other times it feels....empty? Something is missing, but everything is still the same. How can that be? Perhaps the childish wonder and excitement had faded away, or maybe ive come to accept that it'll always stay the same. Just a repeating cycle.

...

I miss those days.


I've felt this for a long time. Instead of feeling the slightest bit exited I always feel more and more empty


this has happened to me for the past couple of years. in my childhood i used to feel such great joy at holidays and such, but now... i just don't feel it, or i don't remember it.


That room feels oddly comforting and safe, I wouldn't mind that being my bedroom.

Eh. That bed would be too small for me, no closet, no windows and room would be too small, but still oddly cozy, so with me fixing some major errors into the architecture of the room, I wouldn't mind it being mine too.

I swear I've seen that bedroom in a weirdcore image before

And then you hear "Open the door, Mark. I have a gift for you. I have a gift for you. I got a present. I got a present. I got a surprise."

When I am away for work (I work in a different part of the country than where I come from), I got a tiny bedroom that looks like that. It is cozy and feels very safe.

It looks as if it was impossible to turn that annoying light off

It's a great room and all until you slam your head into the slanted portion when waking up. I've had a room like that, not awesome.

It's the liminal space vibe. It's familiar but also something not quite right with it. No windows, weird lighting ect...

i feel like under that blanket is a bed infested with rat shit

@player_8008 I think its a liminal space. Tho I'm not sure actually

Same. There’s just something about it that seems easy and uncomplicated~

@player_8008 same, maybe because there are no windows

this room feels something like the “back rooms” vibes

It looks like a trollge background or a backroom stage

@Butteronjully Frrr Samee.
I Think It’s The Floral Design With The Itchy Fabric, The 1930’s Looking Chandelier On Top, The Off White Wallpaper & The Golden Lighting.
It Gives Just Off Those Oldies Vibes A Lot.

Seems like a nice room if there were a pool table, L shaped couch, black wooden flooring, step-up higher area, balcony, bookcase, single red couch-like chair, 2 lamps, sky window, chandelier, coffee table, and a beanbag outside.

@player_8008 yea dude it looks like its from the backrooms

It’s giving “your gonna see a monster at the edge or the corner of your bed and bedroom” vibes. Totally not safe💀👹

♥𝕋𝔸ℙ𝕀𝕆ℂ𝔸  ℙ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕃♥

I'm claustrophobic and the room is very short with no windows and no pillows

@player_8008 With a proper bed it’d feel better probably

i feel the complete opposite, maybe it's the bedsheets but something about that room really rubs me the wrong way.

Only downside is that it looks like there's no windows


I’m 14,and I’m a bit excited for Christmas,but at the same time,it doesn’t feel as good as it felt 3years ago or so,it even feels empty,I didn’t even ask for anything as I would ask when I was a little kid,I just don’t care in receiving anything


My folks are getting divorced and we'll be leaving with my mother to go to another state while my dad stays here.

I can't really feel The Christmas Spirit™ like I did when I was younger.

No matter how depressing it is, time isn't stopping and the days keep coming, so I have to keep trudging forward and act like I'm doing alright when I'm, in fact, not alright.


you are always that very chill youtuber that everyone goes to when they dont have anything to do, even if your content is a bit weird


Man, that hit home.<br>Ever since I had to come face to face with some past trauma and current issues, and sorta got over em, I've just felt awful.

Man, that hit home.
Ever since I had to come face to face with some past trauma and current issues, and sorta got over em, I've just felt awful.

I can relate. But definitely not over them yet. Hope you have a really good Xmas, you deserve it!


It’s so scary how accurate this little short video is.


You ever get told "You were such a happy child" and then just wonder how the days have flown by?


yeah, that started happening these past 2 years. it’s just another day. getting a webcomic updated is more exciting

Ikr, since covid, Christmas has just become a normal day. It's just sad


Thank god it's not just me. I always thought something was wrong with me for not feeling the same excitement I did as a child for Christmas.


I have a lot of trauma associated with this holiday. The warmth I'm supposed to feel isn't there and instead it feels just as cold as the weather. I cannot feel anything but despair and hurt when it comes around. But for the sake of my loved ones, I mask for the holidays so they don't have to see how much I'm truly suffering during this time.


I’m 13 and I can relate with this feeling. Because of school and stress I just feel bored but there is so much to do in the holidays I admit I don’t celebrate Christmas but the joy of the culture I appreciate it and it used to make me excited now just filled with anxiety and stress I’m always bored.


This gives me a sense of nostalgia…
It’s the room, I remember going to my uncle’s house (moms side) and I’d go in my grandma’s room, that’s where I’d sleep, God i miss her, so much, there would be those types of sheets, like in the video, that type of light and….

I…was truly happy back then…

@starc cool but how have things gotten bad?-

@Skylar Thompson christmas then: this video

christmas now: collective consciousness (christmas remix)


I understand this. This is very relatable, it doesn’t feel like the holidays anymore. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to be a fun time. It just gives you that feeling that you want to see friends and family. Or if you are bored and waiting for the holidays.


man this hits hard. im crying rn bc of how true this is


I refuse to let things like this happen because I know if I get out for holidays and spend time with whoever for at least a little bit, you feel much better, even if I think you want to do nothing.


Honestly I understand this. I feel like holidays are just  "oh. cool." nowadays. This actually happened to me today. I realised when I got up  that Christmas was on Sundays but I feel lost of all old happiness I had for the holiday. and I just went back to sleep for a bit.


The only Christmas I fairly enjoyed was last year, I’m 13 now and throughout my childhood, I rarely felt that magical joy of Christmas. Even if I had fun at church this Christmas, that feeling of sadness and loneliness just kicks in man


I think we all were somewhat happier back then than we are now.

We were much more ignorant. We all we young, unbeknown children. There was no guide to understanding it all. Alot of us are fed a facade and some people suffer for it.

@Vernon Douglas ancient meme, something zoomer wouldn’t understand 🙁

I personally quite like how life is going right now


This just gives us a reason to appreciate our age right now and looking at the positive more.


I always felt like this with my birthday. I would forget my own birthday to the point where no one else would remember it, and I was fine with that. My view on birthdays is that you do the parties for a couple years and move on, the day you were born isn't much to celebrate. It's just a day. Aging just isn't worth having a celebration over, it's a normal thing. Now that I'm older I don't get excited over Christmas, Easter, Halloween, my birthday, etc. because it just feels too repetitive. Years and years of the same thing over and over. Moral of the story, once you get older you just kind of start to drift away from the fun parts of life yknow?

But in the end that's up to you to find new enjoyment or not


When I was young, the most exciting stuff would happen during the holidays. Getting presents, making holiday themed art at school, Christmas dinners with family and also at school. Everyone was in on it too. Nowadays I just have a couple of things I care about, and those things are on my mind every season. The excitement comes from elsewhere now.


This reminds me of the this phase im going through where i detach myself from reality and i am suddenly reminded of it while thinking bout things, like if i dont focus enough and think about the reality, i can stay in my head for as long as i want to.

 I hope this is normal😭🙏.


I feel this ever since 2021 of Christmas. 2 years ago I found out that Santa wasn't real when I heard my dad testing some sleigh and jingle noises on the speaker. He couldn't even do anything about us hearing it. My brother didn't really care because he was 7, but I cared a bit and kept it in my head.

When we were told to hide in our rooms at midnight, I heard the exact same noise and some flashing lights coming from the living room to the hallway, and right when it ended everyone rushed to the room but I walked out memorizing how echoey the sound was. That's how I found out he wasn't real.

Now in 2022 I never smile when I look at my brother happy and excited for Christmas. I'm 14 and 12 was the right age to end off my childhood. Christmas just feels like another ordinary day. Especially with finals the day before Christmas eve, it's very stressful and you can only think of how your finals went


Yep. Yep, I understand this perfectly, and I'm not even that old yet

@Neon Orange im 12 and its starting to hit me

@Neon Orange honestly it might hit you early when you lose your spirit and just don’t care anymore

Well if ur a teen like I am, this should most likely be the point where that begins

I’m not even that old yet and Christmas is just a regular day now


That hits me right in the feels. Those were good times


Yup I totally get it. It just feels like a loop that never ends. It also gets more boring around the years. Like just getting presents and doing the same things with your family and eating the same things, and mostly the magic. I just wish I was a kid again. Doesn’t everybody?


The holidays used to break the norm in a fun way. I think doing something special during the holidays as an adult, with people you love, could bring that feeling back a little


This happened to me with the arrival of 2023. To others, January 1st was a time for festive celebrations. For me, just another day.

When 2023 came, i was like "huh ok, i guess" and came back to living my avarage life.

Yeah, I’m only in for the fireworks. At least they’re cool.

samee i didn’t even bother with countdown this year, at 12:15am i was like “oh it’s 2023? cool.”


i think this feels like a empty feeling even when i am too young


Crazy how there's more hype for Christmas than the actual day itself.

@Michael Transactions And just like that it's over.

Christmas is trash. Birthdays are trash. Getting old is trash.

I stopped this feeling when I was 12. It makes sense too so it's not a problem

@Michael Transactions some of us have been building up for this moment since the 1st of November and once it happens it doesn’t feel as good as you want to.<br>In this regard, the New Year is actually a better holiday because it’s not as oversaturated by media and you have a relatively peaceful time between Boxing Day and the 30th of December to get ready for the event.

Right? It always passes very quickly for something we all drum up for a whole month

After 8 weeks of gaining hype for the big day it ends disturbingly abruptly. It's a massive letdown.

That’s so true, I always thought this. You get so excited for the day, then it comes, then it’s over

Theres nothing on december 25th<br>But chrismas is

Theres nothing on december 25th
But chrismas is


I am 28 and still get excited for christmas, but that's because I have an amazing family and I love the fact that we can all get together for that and new years, even as a child the thing that excited me the most about christmas wasn't the presents or Santa, it was being with my family (and also fireworks, I still love them lol)


Man this feeling hits hard, probably because I don’t celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah:/


As a child,<br>This is the emotion I feel toward Christmas since I was 6

As a child,
This is the emotion I feel toward Christmas since I was 6


Even though I'm only 13 I already understand this. I have a lot of work in school so I really don't have time to think about anything else, especially Christmas and its really sad. It just feels like Christmas gets more and more like a normal day in an ordinary life.


After 2019 , everything feels numb and I feel like walking a path full of pins and needles.


Dang, I feel this and I'm not even an adult yet

@HurricanzAUD18 doesn’t matter still, still youth and adolescent, 20/21 where the real world comes at ya..

Yeah, it's scary how much I relate to this and I'm not even 18 yet.

having a poor family makes it harder because you know your parents sacraficed so much fo your joy and that joy is just gone.


It's cool how I can feel nostalgic for an event only a few hours in the future. However, it's kinda sad because when I look back at this comment later it will become real nostalgia.


This feeling is forever stuck with me now as it feels.


This is that feeling when you don't really feel that kid-like joy over holidays anymore, despite all the gifts and holiday parties.


I've always enjoyed Christmas. But this year, I just can't get into the spirit of it. It's Christmas in two days but I've barely even felt it. Putting up the tree felt like a chore. Buying presents felt like a chore. Making cards felt like a chore. Helping put up decorations felt like a chore. I feel like I should be able to enjoy christmas for a little longer; I'm not close to being an adult; age wise, at least. Maybe if I hadn't grown up with older siblings I'd be a bit less mature, maybe I'd still feel Christmasy because I haven't been introduced to the burdens of life in general.


It makes me bittersweet that growing up holidays lose that magic feeling you once had as a kid. Every month with a holiday like Christmas for example just become a nice but normal day, nothing more, nothing less.


Even as I get older and more cynical, I never lose the joy and spirit that I have for any holiday.

I guess being cynical for pretty much the entire year helps me realize how much of a gift these holidays are, and… I appreciate them a lot more, as a result.


Jesus, I just turned 18 on the 1st of December and I now understand this feeling, Christmas years ago felt like it was decades away now it feels like minutes/hours away


I really felt this. Christmas just isn’t the same anymore, it has really lost its magic. When I was a kid I was so excited about Christmas break and getting presents and eating good food with my family but now I just don’t enjoy it as much. It’s probably just me getting older😔


it was a feeling i felt often during my preteen-teen years, but ive learned to appreciate the little things in life; so i now look forward to holidays again


Christmas has to be my favourite holiday because you get to spend the time with your family but there is more to that. I know Christmas is over but I still re-watch this video it gives me the vibes especially the music.


For some reason since I was 12 I've felt this way and still do at 16. I've wondered of there's something wrong with me or if it's normal


The only thing that can somewhat give me back that old special feeling is a random cold breeze while I'm walkimg outside. It last a second and then we're back to "nothingness".

Those make me boycotting the meaninglessness of life by focusing on nothingness.

Those make me feel nostalgic for some reason, but not for Christmas


man, i get the same feeling with every holiday. Theres no excitement, just accepting that happens once a year and that you're close to start school, my brothers have the same feeling


dude, the feeling of any occasional traditions when I was a kid was soo fun<br>Now I’m a teen and I’m just like “oh, ok”

dude, the feeling of any occasional traditions when I was a kid was soo fun
Now I’m a teen and I’m just like “oh, ok”


I can relate to this so hard. Every christmas is just another holiday. The spirit is dying.


i’m a middle schooler and most ppl consider that “too young” but i understand a lot because beginning last year, christmas didn’t actually excite me for once. i was shocked because usually i’d be super happy and loud and bouncy. but now for some reason i’m not?? i dunno but i feel like getting older makes holidays or fun things generally less fun. i mean once you get older, holidays like christmas are more like a deadline than a holiday


You know, the saddest thing isn't the fact that almost(?) everyone this... "numbness" at some point in their lives, but the fact that we, people, as in this broken society thinks this is normal and inevitable.


Finally another one of Angel's early 2000's nostalgia videos.


Christmas will always be fun and hilarious with the correct family. It’s not even with my own family but my girlfriends. The mother makes so much amazing kinds of food, everyone makes greatdrinks, smoke a bit 🍃, sing and dance. Not about crazy gifts just family and a good time. Each person gets their own box of stuff they like to eat. Just have to keep it fun and all about fun. Definitely need a good tribe a people that aren’t draining.


It's not that we're too young to understand it; it's just that these things stick with you or they don't. It is your choice whether or not to participate in the festivities—perhaps not every holiday season but another time. However, it is understandable if you choose not to participate in the event due to other factors in your life.


i used to be able to be so happy around this time of year... then one bad thing happens, and two years later nothing is the same as it used to be


"As you get older, you start to realize that things you thought were important, turn out to be utterly pointless."

~A Wise Man


Felt this way for the holidays this year and last year. They just felt like every other day. I remember counting down the days until Christmas, making crafts in preparation but this year was just "Christmas is tomorrow? Oh, didn't realize" Maybe it was the lack of Christmas songs and movies


Man.. that hit hard, I'm in a household that's lost the Christmas spirit. Just a year or two ago we were having elf on the shelf up, having Christmas movies atleast once per week and were going out on drives to see the holiday decorations. I look after my siblings from time to time and none of them seem interested about this Christmas, I've tried to muster up and get Christmas spirits going but I just can't seem to bring anything up. things really are different from when I was growing up huh


It's gotten a bit more dull, but it's still charming

Part of that is me growing up and not being excited about presents anymore, but only moments. And the things I do want are too expensive to find under a tree. Another part is it simply stopped snowing in december and january here over the past couple of years, as before 3/7 days it would be actively snowing. Those days where it wasn't the snow from the previous days would still last. I live 100 meters away from a really big forest and going there after it snowed to ride down on a sleigh gave this time a lot of charm.

Spending a bit more time with family and friends is still great and all. But yeah, it's missing that little zing the holidays had when I was a kid.


Damn, this is pretty relatable. I never was really that excited for Christmas that much because
1. I don’t even get good presents

2. I spend most of my time alone

3. I have to clear the snow from my sidewalk

4. It’s cold as hell


Forgetting that Christmas is the very next day really shows how much time has passed. It’s like you’re not any less excited for it, but. You’re just, able to wait for longer. Waiting is easier because it means the moment lasts; a feeling that occurs less and less as you get older.


Idk how i went from 9 year old me, waking up on Christmas Day, running to the Christmas tree eagerly waiting for my parents to wake up.. to me now, cause it just seems like Christmas isn’t that jolly holiday anymore. Younger me wanted to be old so bad. Now i just want to be young again.


I understand this perfectly, and I'm 12 years old. Christmas before, like in 2016 was fun. You opened presents, the Christmas music was all over the living room, but today in 2022, nobody really gets presents, lots of people just.. don't do anything anymore. But sadly, this is today's society, and it's not like we can go back to the past to fix everything, but if I would want only ONE thing for Christmas, then it would be to fix society to before.


I always love snowstorms like the one shown at the beginning. Grey/white everywhere at night with snow covering everything always feels so comforting and pretty.

@EYCN You guys have the beautiful palm trees!!

i live in florida and the closest we get to snow here is the grass slightly becoming white


I was scared I wouldn’t get this, that watching just looked like another of those liminal spaces again, but I get it completely. That mundane feeling of “oh, the holidays,” and “welp, I’m 16 now,” just don’t make any sort of happiness in me. Like, gifts are cool, but, do they matter? Is this just my brain and body telling me that I need to grow up, even if I already feel “grown up?” I don’t know.


I’m far more excited for the concerts and social events with all my friends that I’ve planned for rather than Christmas morning 😅😅


this has been me for the oast 3 years, i feel like 2019 was the last happy christmas for me and i swear its not because of growing up, life was just so good back then and then it all went to shit as soon as the pandemic hit LMAO


I relate hard. I didn’t have that much joy towards pretty much any event(?) this year. It’s quite depressing actually.


This is often called "seasonal depression" or "holiday depression" depending on the reason and how often it occurs. Not trying to diagnose anyone, just wanted to put it out there since I like to research psychology stuff. Hope u guys feel better soon, you deserve to be happy this week <3

Depends. Usually it’s just part of getting older. Or like in my case just general depression


Im still young but I understand this quite well I hope other kids can still enjoy holidays like how I used to


The fact that this was my thought process.

Its like an echo in my brain tells me to get excited but it just doesn't register into my head to go through with that action


Felt like this since my grandfather and grand uncle passed


I agree, I don’t know if it’s just how depressed I’ve been feeling or just because everything is just… so different, it’s like 3 years ago 8 was so excited to wake up and see presents under the tree. But now. Now I just feel so much more empty and sad, i can’t even get into anything Christmas related, nobody wants to watch it with me, or nobody will watch the whole thing, nobody wants to really do anything christmassy with me, it feels like it’s just you, it’s just another day where your gonna feel like crying and just laying in bed all day, tired, waiting for the day to end


Christmas in the past was more joyful than the depressing present we have rn


It was just this year when I felt that Christmas  was just another day. Time flies, and I kind of miss the days when I was all exited about it


Its better to put more stock in the season than the actual day itself. I don't celebrate Christmas religiously, but I love Christmas music and films around this time. We enjoy the snow and warmth other people show to one another, and that seems fair to me


Even though I'm Muslim and don't celebrate Christmas it still hits hard.


Honestly I've felt this since I was like 7 so I 100% understand this lol


I totally understand this. I realized that as I was maturing, my reactions to surprising/exciting things was more bland. Puberty, I guess.


this is especially true where i live, where its always the same all the time, seasons only change the weather slightly, but it never snows in winter, nor do trees get orange during fall, etc., it makes everything feel the same every season or day, its sad that i have to basically force myself to believe its christmas because theres no snow or anything to signify it


I somehow get this even though I’m only 15. It just ain’t the same anymore. The closer I get to adulthood the more I appreciate the smaller gifts like Lynx Africa.


Honestly, that's exactly how Christmas felt for me this year and I'm barely 13 :(


I'm still quite young (I guess) but I do this too. Holidays don't seem to excite me as much, it's sad (to me) since I remember being younger and not being able to sleep well, waking up early, ect. Being excited for Christmas, Halloween, and my birthday. Now it's just "Oh (insert holiday) is soon, cool" then the Holiday to me is pretty much like any normal day.


I had trouble understanding, but not because I don’t get the feeling, I just have a hard time following along with things that aren’t explicitly explained lol. I just can’t feel exited sometimes for things coming up.


I had to kind of force myself to watch <i>The Polar Express</i> earlier this evening. Not because I'm "too old" for the movie but because I wanted to get that Christmas Spirit back...

I had to kind of force myself to watch _The Polar Express_ earlier this evening. Not because I'm "too old" for the movie but because I wanted to get that Christmas Spirit back...

I can’t even watch it anymore after my ex broke up with me


I understand this, not because I've gotten past that age (I'm 14, nearly 15) but I've always been scared of getting to that point where all I get for Christmas is socks.


Had the exact same feeling. For Christmas and new year. I didn’t feel as emotional like the last years but it just felt odd. I said it do doesn’t feel like Christmas and they gave the same reaction. 2022 felt like an odd, quick year.


Honestly, I feel this way with my birthday. Christmases are still fun though…but birthdays just seem like another day. Like, “huh, I’m a year older. Cool.” The last time I’ve ever had a happy birthday was when I was around 14-15.


It's not just us growing up. Everything's different now in general, miss the old days but atleast I got a banjo this Christmas and I got to be with family.


I'm always in the Christmas spirit before Christmas, nowadays it's not about the gifts, it's about the message and the good times I get to have with my friends and family. Of course some years aren't like this because it's hard to reach out or within yourself when there's particular bad times that live rent free in your head, but I assure you that before or after Christmas is always a good time, and I guess a little helps since the chance for reflection over the year comes 7 days after. It's nice to think, even when there are bad times, we can forgive and forget and enjoy a peaceful time.


I actually only started feeling this way up until this year. I no longer have the excitement I used to have for Christmas. I think it's because this year all I really want is some more money so I can finish buying parts for my first PC.


I feel like this happens because during all the fun times we used to have at Christmas we were being lied to and being told that Santa was real, so it feels strange when it’s Christmas and we know the truth.


I don't feel that way about christmas yet, but definitely feel this way about my birthday. It's like "oh okay I'm a year older now" and then I move on.


Ever since I graduated and started working, I understood it. Friggin time flies by too fast when you’re constantly sleeping, and working jobs with crappy hours.


I’m under 16 and I get this so much. The song makes me even more emo lol

*I love to think that Angel is the god of nostalgia and childhood.*


Literally after the pandemic this is now common with me (really, no shit) . <br>Like 2 days after will be new year but for me it feels like the same day and the excitement that i felt as a kid died or vanished after I begin my senior classes.

It may feel routine, but holidays can still be special if you make them. Forget the tinsel and commercialization, try to spend quality time with family, don't dwell on petty arguments, and make the most of your time together.


Damn, I had this feeling this year for Christmas, I wasn't as excited for it as I was last year and previous years, I guess it's just part of growing up...


As you get older, things really do change


this literally happened for me this christmas. it didn’t have the magic it felt in previous years. yeah i got gifts and played music but it was just another day


I remember that I would be excited for it when I was 8 years old, it was 2012 and I  was so eager for the next day the (25) to arrive that when it was morning, we launched out of bed. Awaking my parents and being excited.

It was a bunch of presents, in one big box, and they were set near the door.. From toys, to clothes. I remember that I wanted a Nintendo 3DS at that time, instead I got a Gameboy Advance with a bunch of Nintendo-themed gummies.

I was upset, and down, it wasn't a 3DS, however when it was my birthday afew months later, I got one!

I appreciate that I have videos on that day. It's nice to look back, although it's doesn't have that same feeling now aways.


I first had this feeling when I was 11, which many consider a young age to not really care.


Seems this isn't just us aging. Some of my older cousins just now seem to have started feeling this way and theyre in their late 30s.


I really wish I enjoyed Christmas as much as I did when I was 8 or 9, I’m 15 now and I didn’t really care it was Christmas and it didn’t fill me with the same excitement and happiness it used to, worst part is that I know how it feels to feel excited and happy at Christmas


I hope this changes someday, maybe its just a bad year.<br>I think i missed out so much this year, and that i didnt feel as much excitement as i did before.

I hope this changes someday, maybe its just a bad year.
I think i missed out so much this year, and that i didnt feel as much excitement as i did before.


I definitely experience this to a degree, just not a very big one. It didn't really hit until Christmas day, the whole month of December it was kinda just 'Christmas is coming up, that'll be nice,' when it should be 'OH MY GOD CHRISTMAS IS COMINGG!!' I just want the latter back. The problem is, I'm not even a teen yet...


I don't feel super "Christmas-y" like I used to, but I do still very much look forward to it; because I always visit family/have family visit me; which is the best part. I don't care about the presents and the Christmas spirit much anymore, I just look forward to seeing family!


I've felt this every year since I was 8. My brother died when I was 8 so no holiday has been the same. Its gotten worse as I've gotten older

this is bananarama and the anthem is venus


I feel like as you get further into school Christmas becomes more of just another day. but when you are able to properly enjoy your time and give gifts that make others happy, that is when Christmas becomes very enjoyable.


I don't think it has to do with getting old but simply getting depressed. I was like this for every holiday from probably my 14 to 19 years old. I didn't even bother to invite friends for my birthday anymore because to me it was just another day.


I’m currently 13, almost 14, and while I still enjoy the holidays, every year it feels as if some of the enjoyment just slips away. I’m just not as excited as I used to be. Every year it feels like the holidays are just less exciting than the previous.


it hurts when you realize you’re not too young


I swear, Christmas was great but I don't feel the magic I used to.

@Khushi but sadly happines has long been taken away for our own fault

i wish may all of us be as happy as be were earlier.


I thought I was just weird not enjoying Christmas anymore. People my age (15-16) still get excited for it but for me, apart from a break from school, I don't really have any feelings for it. Feels like just another day at this point, my Christmas spirit is just dead I guess.


It was just a few years ago, when the holidays came and I would be so happy, so joyful all the time. Now, I didn’t even realize it was almost Christmas, because every day has just been the same, monotonous and anxiety filled. I wish I could feel the excitement of presents and the warmth in my heart as they approached, instead of just a dull, empty ache of worry and sadness all the time. Even when there’s moments where I should be happy, there’s always that nagging feeling in the back of my mind.


cant believe im not even a teen yet and i got this feeling this year


So yes and no. There were years I actually felt that way. But! Now that I'm older I love Christmas. It's the time where I get to meet all of my family, we spend so much fun time together, cook together, exchange some fun little presents, watch Christmas movies. It's exciting and I always feel full of love and I'm thankful for all these amazing people all around me


It really hit hard when I was believing still 😪


wow this is relatable af

Used to get so excited over Christmas, died down over the years as relatives moved away and it dawned on me that it’s a waste of time. Family time doesn’t feel like family time anymore, it just feels forced. You don’t feel excited when u look under the tree anymore; you see a waste of money that could have been used on bills or to solve debts instead of on yourself. Getting overwhelmed, trying to find gifts for everyone. Damn, by now I don’t even feel anything on Christmas.
It pains me looking back because Christmas felt so much less forced. We were all having fun; as I got older, it just kind of died down. People looked at me in a different light, and I did too.
I’m only 13 man. Sad thinking people go through the same stuff where family time doesn’t feel like family time.


The only joy adults get from the holidays anymore is watching their kids open their Christmas gifts and that’s it.


I felt this the first time this year, being older is weird


we're waiting for the part 3 of the "scary" videos


"The magic will come back one day when you have kids" Wanders around my apartment thinking about how everyone my age is already coupled and I'm alone

Well, I could put Santa hats on my cats?

I feel like i am too young for this.. but still, I get it.


To be honest everyday I always wanted to go back to those simpler times when I was younger... Sadly it's over and all we can do is remember those memories and cherish where we are now... But sometimes I sit there in my room thinking about those times... Something we all can't go back to...


I remember the week leading up to Christmas used to be so exhilarating, school going out, presents under the tree, a big party being planned by the family, and maybe even some snow if I was lucky.<br>It’s only 2 days till Christmas and I feel… nothing. Just another weeks long break from school.

I miss how much prep was put into making sure we had fun during Christmas when I was younger


I miss feeling the xmas spirit.... When my great grandmother was still alive we would all drive together to her daughters place and celebrate with the whole family, after she died xmas wasnt the same anymore and i was growing older. Less people came because they went to their other families and it was empty and quiet, at least more than it was before. Then next year i couldnt go because of the pandemic, then next 2 years i was sick on xmas and couldnt go.
This year i finally could go to my grandma again and there was only one part of my family missing and there were 2 new children but...somehow i dont feel it anymore, honestly i dont feel the spirit of any holiday now that i think of it. I dont even really celebrate my birthday. Its cool when my friends tell me happy birthday yeet and my family calls sometimes but afterall its just another normal day that will pass.

If you feel the xmas spirit, make the most out of it while you still can.

this just hits different... <br>i remember when i was a little kid.. maybe 8-9, possibly 10? anyways, Christmas had that one special joy that couldn't be surpassed. now, its basically just getting new stuff. its lost its joy and excitement, every year i watch my smaller relatives open up their gifts and think " wow, i remember when i had that joy of being here on Christmas. " its kinda sad really, i hope that when ( or if ) i have children, they don't lose their Christmas joy.

The older I get the less i don't care for it as much. I'm 17 and remember Christmas being my favorite holiday and now it's just a few weeks for me to get extra sleep, decorate and leave it all behind a day later in the attic for next year. Hopefully if I ever do have a family they can bring back the warm feeling of it


I'm only 13, yet I've been feeling this for every holiday since 2021 😔


Is nobody gonna talk about how creepy that bedroom looks 💀


at one point you just stop caring but you find a way to love it again when your older


Normally I love Christmas so much, it is my favorite time of the year. However, I just lost my dad to cancer on December 22 of this year and the holidays lost all the joy they usually bring me. I’m only 19, but I think for the rest of my life this will be all I can think about at Christmastime.


This... Happened to me this year. I had a horrible year and now seeing that Christmas is this week feels weird. I suddenly didn't felt anything towards it like most years i felt to. I realized 2022 changed me as a person, and i'm not sure if this is something good or bad.

My joy for Halloween started dying out around 15, it was my favorite holiday. 19 now. Wishing you luck man

@Mr. Shy Guy (Zhattttt) lol ok. That’s so young man.

@Denis SsSsS 15, idk if that's old for you

It’s bad man, u got old. May I ask u how old u r?


Hits hard, Christmas just feels like an ordinary day and the same stuff happens every single year on Christmas. muriah Carrey, egg nog, presents Christmas dinner. But all that's missing is the spirit and I can't seem to grasp the spirit I once had. I miss being younger


My joy for Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, and my birthday are already gone and I’m still a young teen. It’s honestly rly depressing that I don’t get hyped up anymore :/


Honestly ever since 2021 Christmas happened, Christmas hasn’t really been the best. Last year i couldn’t see any of my friends because they all had covid and my tortoises died due to an infection. This year it was even worse, on the 25th of December, my parents went to a friends house to party, they brought us and everything was fine until my mom got emotionally drunk. My dad didn’t drink at all. My dad got fed up with her alcoholism and snapped at her. They soon got physical and both of them got bruises by the end of it. My dad still had to drive and was driving faster then he normally would. He would brake every minute because my mom tried to get out of the moving car. Not to mention they were both slapping each other and fighting as my dad was driving. My dad even almost drove off a cliff but stopped before we could get any closer to the edge. Eventually my mom escaped the car and tried to report to police. It lasted for 3 hours and did i mention that it was 6am. No one slept all. We got home and my dad was still fighting with my mom till 7. My dad is still mad at her. Because he knows that my mom’s alcoholism has affected me and my brother both physically and mentally. Literally, because of my mom drinking during her pregnancy, I got a respiratory illness and a weak immune system, but I luckier than my brother. My brother got autism and speech problems. My mom almost tried to stab me with a chair leg but she stopped before hitting me. She traumatised my brother by leaving him outside the house at night alone. He told me he wanted a divorce, i told him that i was fine with it since my mom broke our bond years ago. But my brother was attached to her, and my dad was the one in the family with a job, so it was better for him to go with my dad if they got a divorce. But leaving someone you dearly love is hard. And my brother is too young for that. So he decided to not divorce my mother. For my brother.


i'm 16 right now, but i understand this. I still like christmas, but not so much as my childhood... Man, I feel elder lol


it's hard to fathom how fast this year went -- in any case, here's to 2023!

2023 will probably be the same cycle with the holidays, all over and over again, doing the same shit again for the 5th year in a row

yes like 2021 went by so slow but 2022 was faster than sonic.


I get this even tho I don’t celebrate Christmas/Chanukah . Even when I was little I felt some excitement but now it makes me realise how quickly time has gone and I just don’t feel it anymore


I remember I used to countdown the days left until Christmas, now I just kind of remember that it's getting closer and I'm like, "Oh.. yeah, Christmas is this week. Nice."


I get it. Christmas just feels like every other day, especially because I learned the truth about Christmas a few years ago from my mom complaining about how much money she spends on us, now Christmas just hasn't been the same.


I get it. No matter how much, I just can't muster any excitement for the holidays. It's been a feeling that's persisted for the last five or so years. I lost count at that point.


I absolutely love the dissonance of this video


Man, I'm only 17 and my exact reaction was that, like "Oh god, i literally forgot the most marketable and brighting celebration of the year", all just for not getting out of the house.


This new years i was facetiming three friends. two were at parties, and one was with his dog. they all shouted and yelled “happy new year” when the clock struck, but all i felt was just the passage into another year. i’m just disconnected. i was standing there, in my kitchen, staring at my phone, not speaking. i couldn’t even celebrate.


I remember my childhood when I was always so excited for Christmas, and now it just feels like a normal day with nothing different.

This is a paradox because im not that young but i still feel joy on Christmas, its not always about the gifts, its about sharing memories and making new ones, spending time with friends and family. Not everything has to be hype


This year I really felt like that but when it's Christmas and it doesn't feel the same I like to think about other people in the world feeling the same joy opening presents that we all had years ago.


It’s my birthday as of right now on January 1st and I feel this exact same way. I turned 20 today and it feels like… just another day. No excitement, no celebration, no big anticipation. Just another number added to my age. I guess that’s growing up for you ig.


Im 15, but christmas still somehow seems to have its magic every year


I can understand (sort of), but I can't relate. I wish everyone a late happy holidays, and I'm sorry you just don't get that joy you once had when you were younger. ♡ <br>(I hope I'm not wrong here.)

I think this is a thing for anyone that are older can relate to. Smaller holidays like Easter or even Saint Patrick's Day don't seem as much unless it's different for anyone else. But major holidays like Christmas will always be memorable even when we grow old and just see it as another day.


Weird. It's my birthday today, december 22nd. The events in this video took place in my apartment that I'm losing in February and I've been on the borderline of utterly broke for about 2 weeks. Despite that, the events in this video took place today. I think it's the nonchalance that's so weirdly relatable.


It’s been like that lately for me the past 2 years. Maybe because of the people in my life or just because I’m growing up, it makes me sad ngl I miss the good days❤


It just doesn't feel like how magical it was when I was younger now it just feels like a another day


I'm 12, and I understand this perfectly. I don't think it's the age that matters. More of how things are today... Holiday cheer didn't last long for me, at least.


This is exactly how I'm feeling this year


I’m only 16 and Christmas is starting to die out, I still love the feeling of spending time with loved ones while sitting by an open fire and wearing comfy festive clothing, but it’s just not the same anymore. I miss waking up at 9am and running to the living room in hopes of seeing gifts from Santa, while my mom videos me. Now usually we just buy some toys for the dog, make it fun for her by wrapping them, and then call it a day.

I feel like it’ll only get worse from here too.

@someguy I bought a game for my friend that he really wanted and his joyous thanking made me feel really happy, but that was about it aside from buying presents for my dog like I said earlier.

Not neccesarily, 19 here and it's for sure different but it just means you start to have to make your own excitement. As in getting yourself pumped for it, as hard as that is. It gets exciting when you're older because you can buy stuff for your parents, and watch them smile. I find that giddy wide-eyed joy in other stuff, not Christmas anymore but finding a new game released or something exciting happened with a hobby you like. For me it was finding out they got an image of Srg A* cause I like space.

The excitement moves onto other things, but it doesn't disappear. The holidays just change. The best thing to do is make good memories. Good luck man


It hits hard when it's holiday, because it feels like a normal Day.


I understand this, but I cannot relate because I NEVER fall asleep easily.


Last year it was christmas eve, and I had literally forgotten when the hell christmas was, or that christmas was even near. I miss the old days when I would actually have trouble sleeping and be super excited about waking up and rushing downstairs to open presents with my sisters.


accurate representation of me in my room during december


Yeah I agree. I don’t really care about holidays much anymore, even though I still enjoy celebrating them. This year is my first though. I still remember being very excited about Christmas last year. But now I’m 13 and I could care less.

@Ironfrenzy217 ew dont target young and vulnerable people ya filth

God, I can relate to this. Christmas doesn’t mean much to me anymore without any family members I can tolerate to celebrate it with. I can’t say no to free shit, but it feels like a lot of peoples childhoods are ending a little too early now.

But, hey. Happy new year, atleast. Here’s to 2023 being better on our teenage asses.

@Snailien being a teen is torture, i dont know how people can keep their youth anymore

@ArtoriasTheAbyssWalker Yeah it's slowly starting to slip away and I'm starting to feel sad about that. I still have 5 more years of youth though. I'll try my best to make the best of it.

Hold on to your youth while you can boys. You only get to be young once

@Ironfrenzy217 Thanks, I really needed that
I've been starting to get used to being hurt, I don't feel guilt, empathy or remorse anymore
(Seeing the words "hope" & "despair" just summoned my inner Danganronpa fan lol)

@Ironfrenzy217 bro I’m not depressed lol

It's sad to see such despair at such a young age. There is hope. Pursue Christ.

Same feeling, it was my birthday 2 weeks ago & I turned 14<br>But it felt like every normal boring day

It hits extra hard when your family argues all the time and you have no one to celebrate new years with 💩


Funny how I was talking with my mom about how Christmas didn’t feel like Christmas for the past 2 years


If you don’t understand this please never lose it 🙏let’s normalize being excited for the holidays at an older age


Christmas this year still kinda felt like Christmas, but I think I will be able to relate to this next year.


I turned 18 this year and it's the second Christmas I have where it's like "Ok, I'll get stuff soon yay." and end up destroying my sleep schedule and sleeping randomly at 2PM


I guess it's just as we get older sometimes the things we love get boring after a while


Man, I remember when my Christmas list was like 20 pages long, now, I don’t even know one thing I want for Christmas, it’s past and I don’t feel sad at all.. The week coming up to it was just boring.. I dunno, it just feels like life 👌


I used to always think about holidays the first of the month, but I found myself this exact way for the past few years the same way.


It's interesting by the fact that you can not only be "too young" to understand, but also too old


Growing up hits mad different. I don't even care about presents or my bday anymore 💀


Damn, I miss the times Christmas felt magical.


For me I don’t let myself get excited for holidays anymore but inside I’m always ecstatic. I don’t want to let myself have unrealistic expectations


I have that feeling often, sometimes holidays get exciting but not exciting at the same time. I’ll do my best to explain this, but it’s off and on, It’s like I’m excited for a small moment then I go back to not being really excited. I wish I was still into holidays as much as I was in the single digits, I miss the good feeling.


I understand this, when i was like 6-7 i always loved holidays, christmas, but now 3-4 years later, i almost don't see the same thing anymore, just like the old days, i always believed santa was real, but then my parents told me the truth, but i do still like christmas till this day, i find, now like, i sometimes forget whenever its christmas or not, at my place (Brazil) it stopped or isn't snowing anymore, thanks for reading, i appreciate your time reading this!

Thanks Friend.


I remember the good times when holidays would be something to be excited about 😔


Literally me. The first week of December was sucked away because of finals, the second week I stayed with my grandparents, and 3rd was generally busy. Man I miss being 10-13.


I 100% feel you. But Christmas Day never gets old. The days leading up to it just feel like another day to me tho but that makes Christmas even more special as it feels as it came out of the blue.


It’s so sad how I can’t feel the same love I used to have for some holidays the excitement isn’t there anymore


For the past few years it hasn't felt like a special day or anything. Like birthdays or Christmas and stuff. It doesn't feel like anything at all. Just a normal day. I miss when I used to wake up and be excited about Christmas. Like it literally had a feeling. I really miss that feeling
