I'm glad I saw this thread. I always feel down around Christmas and New Year, the only really big holidays here. There's something so disconcerting about the over consumption, materialism and pressure to be happy. I'm glad to be staying in with no social expectations this year (so far, fingers crossed) but I still feel down for all the people suffering and the way Christmas makes that worse.

I do wish anyone reading this who enjoys it a lovely time though!
