I think that whether or not we end up alone for the holidays we all at least have a certain amount of stress and depression. What are some of your ways of coping with holiday loneliness or stress?

I get myself a nice advent calendar - the kind with gifts (lego calendars are great). It puts a smile on my face for at least a little part of my day

I go to the dollar store and make 5 little gift bags. I drop them on the doorsteps of my neighbours.

What little things or ideas do you have for beating holiday Depression?
