Why is it so hard to get into the Christmas spirit once you hit adulthood?

The secret is magical Christmass Dust :D

We are distracted by the bills, time, and effort that goes into everything.

No wonder Christmas decorations are coming out earlier and earlier, it makes it easier to put them up a little at a time

It's happens differently for people. I sometimes notice it when packing presents or riding home in a public transport when the streets are covered in snow. Maybe it needs some special moment.

My spirit picked back up when I had kids. Seeing their Christmas spirit turned to 11, I get the contact high from them.

My family decided many years ago to give up presents to everyone but the kids. It really helps with getting a nicer christmas feeling, both due to lowered stress and financially. Right now, the only kids are my half-brother and my sisters daughter, so it's just two presents for each adult to think about. We spend money on better and more food on both Christmas and New Years Eve.
