Desperately Seeking Christmas....

It's Christmas, but it doesn't feel like Christmas. Yes, I do hear carols in the malls; I see red, green, and gold tinsel wind around shelves, stairs, hang from ceilings; clementines, black grapes, red seedless, white seedless adorn the fruit stands; tables groan with fruitcake; Christmas trees guard shop entrances. But why don't I feel it?
