How can I get in the Christmas spirit?

My kids are both in their twenties, and think Christmas is stupid consumerism (although they have no problem accepting the latest i-gift) No grandkids yet, so the whole wonder and awe thing is down the drain. I just can't get motivated to put up the Satan lights around the house, or decorate the Pagan tree. Everything about Christmas just seems blasé this year. Yesterday I even brought holiday CD's to listen to in the truck I drive, but that hasn't worked yet either.

    Go to a homeless shelter or some other charity place and donate. That always gets me in a holiday spirit of giving. I think it's the location that does it, giving over the internet doesn't feel the same.

    Edit: Let me tell you a true story. My grandmother lives in a different town from us the town where she was born while I live in my country's capital. She has a friend who always bakes us cookies. Me and my siblings have never seen her but we've been eating her cookies our entire lives. That is amazing in of itself. But when, earlier this year, she randomly heard from my grandmother that my little sister was going to be graduating high-school she got up in the middle of the night to bake cookies for her that my grandma then took with her to the celebration. All without expectation of any reward. There are some amazing people out there.

    I think it's way too early to think about Christmas. You can take your time and wait until seing the snow fall makes you change your mind.

    No matter what we see in the stores, and on TV, an in newspapers, and in our mail boxes, and on the road...

    By the way, all my presents are bought ;)

    Embrace your inner Grinch. I have young children in the house and I still hate Christmas.

    Don't. Just let it go and see what happens. You might learn something about yourself.
