This is not about wishing anything to anyone, I could not care less.

This is more about asking you what you are doing to be 'in the spirit of christmas'.

My wife and I will be hosting a dinner for a family of four (divorced single mom three kids), a single elderly woman who lives by herself, has a bad reputation but is really a nice person and few other folks who would be alone otherwise.

So, what are you doing this season?

Celebrating my mother-in-law's 91st birthday on the 22nd, - she's my favorite party animal - and she is hosting a Christmas brunch for several people on the 25th. Although since she is of Serbian extraction, Christmas for her is January 7th, eastern orthodox calendar, and she'll be flying across the continent to be with her siblings.

Best wishes to you, Sir, and also to those that celebrate different occasions or events.

Joyeux Noël

Seasons Greetings, and take care.

I'm never in the spirit of Christmas and never will be, that has never changed since I was a little kid! I did used to go bar hopping and got shitfaced over the holidays and the bars were open 24 hours a day, so I practically moved in over that period of time, so I guess I was in the spirits of Christmas!

As the old joke goes, where the Vicar thanks the ladies of the parish for their gift:

"Thank you all for the cherries in brandy. It wasn't so much the fruit, but the spirit in which they were sent."

We have long traditions of family moments, mostly to watch the younger ones. My wife and I don't exchange gifts (we give away past trinkets), but celebrate our days together, every day.
Tree? Yes. Songs? Yes. Memories? Yes. Photos? Yes. And then, after the tree has been emptied, we talk, eat, sip, and explore what's happening in each and every life around the table.
We are now the eldest, 75, grandparents, and hope to pass along the warm sense of family on every occasion.

I sense that you could care less, rather than you "could not care less".

Sorry, this forum seems ripe for criticism and I could not resist the temptation.

Actually "I could care less" is a common mistake. It means one cares to a degree. I believe OP is saying he does not care, so "I could not care less" is absolutely correct.

I'll be working. Somebody needs to make sure the milk makes it to your table. I do enjoy seeing the lights as I drive around. Sadly there don't seem to be as many as there used to be.

If I can force myself out of this computer chair, I'll finish putting up the decorations, get the turkey started thawing in the fridge, wrap Christmas presents - and then take a nap.

My kids are coming from Florida. It will be the first time in nearly 20 years that we have all been under the same roof at Christmas. Hosting a fondue party/wine tasting on Sunday, Christmas dinner and gifts on Christmas Eve, then to my daughter's house for Christmas Day.
