    Was this the WORST Christmas in US history??

    Is it just me or did it seem like very few people put up lights and stuff around their houses and the cities got slack on decorations etc... and people were just not into it?

    I can think of many reasons why people would be preoccupied because I admittedly was; but that could just be me.

          Living in a new region, I don't have past years to compare it to. But things looked pretty here, I do think the general tone was down. Between the attempted polical correctness pressures and the slow economy, there surely was less spirit going around.

              We had an awesome Christmas personally but now that you say it, it does seem that there were a lot less Christmas lights up around town!

                  Looked normal around my place. I dont go out much, but my neighbors were lit up as much or more than last year. I put up less around the house, mostly just the tree.

                              I'm pretty sure that's Christmas in the 1930's sucked. Probably durring the Civil War and WWII as well. 1917 probaly sucked WWI, Spanish flu.

                                  The UK almost banned Christmas this year, so we didn't offend any other religions.

                                  Great !

                                                              It probably came down to lights versus gas for some folks.
                                                              Show the lights all this month and spend next month walking to work!

                                                                              As for the shopping, well, the one thing I hate about Christmas is when I do really need something like batteries I know that going to any store is going to be a hassle. Every time I went to any store it was packed. I also visited the mall to exchange a gift yesterday, and the mall was also packed.

                                                                              I drove down to Socal and back this week; I have never ever ever ever before in my life seen so much traffic on I5 from San Fran to Socal. Don't tell me people were't traveling for the holidays; I've never had traffic slow down to 30mph on the I5 in my 17 years of going down to Socal on it.

                                                                              Christmas was fine man.

                                                                              For me personally, Christmas was great. My wife and I have a child, and I've since disovered that Christmas is no longer about me or what I want. Every year I make a Christmas wish list of what I want, and some years are better than others. However, every year I leave the most expensive gift off the list and buy it myself for Christmas. This year it was a new phone, the Verizon Voyager, which I love. I got a few things I wanted and a few unexpected gifts; No complaints all around.
