One thing I miss about being a kid during Christmas is the neverending supply of Italian Christmas cookies.

Same here. I can still make "butter" cookies that are to die for. I always made the three layer tri-colored ones but have not had real success veganizing them. Still trying, though. And I can do a fair version of what some people call Tirallis or Anginettes (the soft round ones with icing and sprinkles). We just call them Italian cookies and use anisette flavoring but can also be lemon flavored. They also come in different shapes. Some make them into knots but I was always too lazy.
This picture looks like a similar cookie only with a filling...not familiar with those but they look really good!

This a Victorian Christmas scene called 'Twas the night before Christmas'. I also love the olde English Christmas scenes.

I actually don't feel as Christmasy as I usually do...the spirit is there is just a lower key than normal.

Love the Christmas pudding hoodie! I don't have anything that's Christmas tacky...yet! I'm going to go check out Amazon and see if they have something similar.

Same here. I think that the buzz started far too early.

Weirdly enough, I've seen a lot of people lately saying that this Christmas feels different, less hyped or something.

I'm glad to say that I got on the wagon late. Only got my tree Saturday. More Christmas spirit than usual! Somehow.
