For the first time in memory, I am not looking forward to Christmas at all. It feels like there will be too much family and too many questions and I just kinda feel done with it. I feel guilty for it the feeling since I rarely see most of my family. When I told my fiance how I was feeling, he kinda frowned since he loves the holidays. Of course he gets 3 weeks off for winter break since he teaches... This is a completely new feeling for me and its not because I'm depressed, in fact, my mood is pretty up. Maybe I just don't want all the stress to rain on my happy parade?

ugh christmas- the pressure to be happy, to do all these extra activities, to buy presents… all in addition to the normal activities of life that I can't even keep up with…
I thought this year would be a happy christmas, as I'm newly engaged and living with a loving partner and I don't have to work christmas day like I used to, but I was overwhelmed and put off by 2 days after thanksgiving… and I haven't even started shopping yet or put up a tree… |

I dont like the holidays at all. I want to do a fly-by and skip them! I think most of my disgruntledness comes from the pressure to be happy (as kittlies said) and to spend time with family that can, frankly, be triggering. I don't cope well and i don't have any advice, i simply wanted you to know that I don't get along with Christmas either.

Feeling very much the same. I am dreading this holiday. The pressure to keep on the mask ... taking to many prn's to get through the day. It's really not worth it.. and like Middlepath said... triggering!

I don't think Christmas is very spiritual.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way! Yeeeesh. I'm just not feeling up to it this year. Too much pressure to spend money I don't have, eat food I don't want to eat, and be happy all the time.

I am dreading it this year. Do not feel up to it at all. Wake me up on January 2.
