Hi Will, and welcome to PC. Yes, i get the same stupid questions and i use to use the same answers. Now i say, i don't celebrate the holidays and that pretty much lets people know you are not interested and they need to mind their own business. And if they persist change the subject or walk away. I find watching a good movie, buying myself a take out pizza or buying chineese, and doing something fun for me with the quiet is so rewarding. Definetly turn off the radio with the holiday music and put on your own choice of uncommercial meditational music and uplift your spirits. Blessings.
