yes lets forget it!!! i get so depressed on christmas.
nope i luv christmas even if it makes me depressed, it makes the people i love happy so why be selfish?
Sharrie dear...are you Muslim, by any chance?
...but seriously - the yuletide season means different things for different Christians, does it not, from abuse of bairns and how they see it in years to come, to the deep love of two adults who have been married for many (60 upwards) years. Does not the many shades of society nowadays make Christmas just as bad for the same amount of Christians, as the ones who indeed 'have it good'.

no not at all
Try not to worry, especially about presents, If you've got good friends they'll understand that your abit skint, try and get cheap presents that mean something to the people you love, it doesnt have to be about how much you spend. I find present swapping really awkward and I try not to send to many cards, i enjoy just relaxing and trying to appreciate what I do have whether it be friends family or whatever.
You don't have to be a Christian to enjoy this time of year.....I think the Christmas Season is the most wonderful time of the year...Put on a smile and get out there in all the hustle and bustle,,,,buy someone you know,,,a surprise gift,,,,someone who isn't expecting anything,,,,take a tag from an angel tree in the mall or Walmart etc and buy a child a lovely present...,buy yourself something special.....go to a living nativity...all towns have one,,,,,attend a holiday event of some kind,,,,Drive around and look at the beautiful decorations around town...attend a Holiday concert....make a special dinner,,you get from life what you put into it,,,you,,,,make yourself happy with your attitude,,,not depend on others to make you happy,,,,cheer someone up....and you cheer up....take some gifts to the hospital,,there are many there who will have no Christmas cheer....pas them out on the children's ward and watch their faces light up....ask permission of course....
If you have a talent for singing or playing an instrument,,,,,,find a home for the elderly and offer to sing them some Christmas songs..or any songs.....we are happiest when we are helping others....get involved...you have to go after Christmas cheer,,it doesn't always come to your door..Make you own kind of Christmas.....and Merry Christmas to you...now smile.....love is all around you if you reach out....and don't wear those same old neutral colors....put on a red blouse or sweater....even if you just wear jeans....
I agree with you....I HATE the holidays!!! I've been doing well with my mental illness and taking my meds, but for some reason no matter what I do, I get depressed at this time of year!!!
I'm not a fan of christmas...
More disappear. I've never felt so stressed as I have done this Christmas. I think the whole thing's gone way too far.. it no longer has any meaning for me.. I was writing my Christmas cards, and just felt like I was going through the motions. Ironically, I haven't seen anyone in nearly 10 days because they're busy with Christmas- I thought this was a time for people to come together.
sometimes, its really for the economy... most people I ask dont know what it stands for other than gift giving
I wouldn't go that far but you are right to an extent. There's way to much pressure around this time of year. It's lost its meaning and doesn't seem as special. It's way too commercialised and unfair for people on low incomes who can't afford to buy their family nice gifts or expensive ones like their friends. It's lost its real meaning which should be more spiritual. As well as that it's a very lonely time for people who have lost loved ones or for one reason or another alone, it makes it all that little bit harder.
Christmas can be a very lonely and depressing time - esp. for the bereaved, depressed or socially isolated.
imo it should be banned!
i have depression and i'm already finding it difficult, but i really need this break from school - i was getting so stressed out i was making myself ill! so no, i want xmas to stay, even if i don't enjoy it anymore.
I have social phobia so I find this time of year really hard. Its like your expected to be three times as social at xmas. Like a demand from people.
