why doesn't christmas feel the same

I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to maintain the same sense of joy and wonder around the holidays as you did when you were a child. Christmas can be a time of year when we often reflect on the past, and it's natural to feel nostalgic and miss the simpler times when everything seemed more magical and carefree. It's also possible that you may be experiencing some stress or anxiety around the holiday season, which can make it harder to feel festive and cheerful. Remember that Christmas is a time for gratitude and love, and try to focus on the positive aspects of the holiday season.
