I think once you get to about 55 - 60 Christmas isn't very much fun. Time flies by so fast and I think that is the resaon for me to lose interest. Feels like it comes at least every 6 months. My youngest Grandson is 9 going on 45, We have 2 GGD, 1 and 4 yrs. We had a great time Christmas Eve at DD and DSIL's house. Husband only strings Christmas lights outside, our only decorations.
