Does Christmas affect your mood at all? I'm just wondering how many of you become manic, depressed, mixed etc as the holiday draws near.

To make this thread useful, what are some good tips for coping with Christmas?

I become hypo when Christmas comes around. I guess all the excitement just leads to poor sleep, which in turn leads to a hypo episode. So I plan on taking some kind of sleep med (or med with drowsiness as a side effect) before my sleep gets messed up. Yay planning!
