Celebration Fatigue

The Six Sentence Story prompt – Heart

Christmas decorations were up in late October all over shopping malls.

Friends end of year gatherings started in November.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing day were filled with the Christmas spirit. 🎄 🎁🙏

Fireworks and more eating on New Year’s eve, recovery on New Year’s Day, 🎆 soldiering on cooking BBQ on Australia Day. 🦘 🌏

Lunar New Year 🐉 is even bigger than all the precious events because it goes on for fifteen days.

By the time Valentine’s Day arrives, my heart and soul go “Meh”. 💐💞🤷

  5. It’s gotten to the point where, as the song goes, the thrill is gone. We used to look forward to the change over of store decorations, the windows in the big department stores dressed up for the holidays. Now everything runs together. Of all the money-grabbing, insipid holidays, Valentine’s Day has to be the worst.

  8. It’s challenging to hold on to the joy of the holidays when the “corporate gods” push, push, push earlier each year to buy, buy, buy. Agree with Clark. The race to exploit the holiday(s) for the retail money grab does seem to accelerate the passage of time.
