I always find the weeks leading up to Christmas a hard time and am glad when it is over. I enjoy the day and we usually have a good time by going away for a few days afterwards but the period before and for a few weeks after brings out a load of difficult feelings.
I am sure others also feel this or something similar. If so what do you feel and what do you do to cope?

Pro Agree with what said above. Also think that the energy around Christmas time becomes quite manic - people rushing everywhere, parties, children over excited, etc.. I find that quite draining but then I am fairly introverted by nature. I need calm and peace to restore my own energy levels.
Thanks. I'm not the most outgoing either and probably do get sucked in to emotional territory where I am least comfortable and get drained. Maybe I should try to paint it!

Hello Alan -yes I do believe many of us feel like this, it is a relentless pressure to buy things we can't afford and are often meaningless with this false sense of so called joy for the season -we are a bit jaded now ...but by the time you get this answer from me it will be over and soon spring time yay!

Christmas has that effect because it is a time people seem
to remember past occations and life is changing but somtimes
memories conjeur up old feelings and they can be uncomfortable at times.
You are not alone with these thoughts!!
2009 I hope will be a lovely new year!!
Kind regards to you
