I understand, mugwort...I do not celebrate it out of religious belief but out of tradition. I am not Christian, but my mother is so I celebrate with her and her family out of tradition. It's a hard time of year for me for other reasons too. It's always been hard to see others enjoying such intimate time with their families when I have never had that. To have coworkers and friends tell me about their fun, family plans for the holidays and knowing that I have no one to share such time with.
I feel like it's a time of year when other people's happiness is thrust more in my face than any other time...and therefore increases my depression.
