I find them bittersweet. They can bring back both happy and sad memories for me, and also I get depressed every winter so I kind of associate Christmas with being depressed in a way. I do love that it's a reason to see family and enjoy some of the festivities. We started some new traditions since my sister had kids and I have grown to enjoy that. Some years I have wanted to skip them altogether because it can make me sad. So, it's complicated for me.
