I am not having the same issues as yourself but mine are different. I have so much to be thankful for to be sure. I just feel like it is too soon, in a way. I believe that I feel that way just because I have no excitement of it. I refuse to go the the malls, the stores, etc. I do hope be get "into the spirit" for my 10 yr. old son. Having an excited mother makes him even more excited an happier. I had better hurry, I don't have much time.

I do know many people like yourself who are very disappointed regarding the commercialism of the holiday. I really do not mind the decorations, although when in a depression in the past, all I wanted to do was to tear them down!!! Maybe your situation is a little of both. Depression robs us of so much in our lives that it is so difficult to distinguish between what is due to the depression and what is not.

I know this was less than helpful, but know you are not alone.

Love and Light,
Peacemaker
