I am much better off than some, but I have to admit this time of year makes me sad. I think about getting older, what I haven't accomplished, loved ones that I have lost. I just find it hard to get into the holiday spirit.

I miss those who have left way too soon, but I'm so grateful that they were in my life.

I deliberately do things that are very "holiday"

I like to browse the malls, so pretty.

I listen to Christmas music.

I be sure to donate to my favorite causes.

I go to Christmas concerts.

I do everything I can to stay positive and in the Christmas spirit.

I tend to get nostalgic this time of year and it can make me sad.  I avoid the New Year's Eve hoopla as I don't like all of the "looking back" stuff that happens in all the media.

I think there is just a lot of pressure for people to be happy-happy during the Holidays and it can make people feel that there's something wrong with them if they're not feeling it.

I like New Year's Day.  A new year!  A fresh start!

I hate to sound like sad Sally, but I am tremendously sad right now. Just totally overwhelmed. 

My husband is not doing well at all (2 calls to 911 in the last 7 days, while we were out trying to do things)  and I am just beside myself. 

Christmas and the New Year can't leave fast enough. I just want to get in bed and curl up in the fetal position. So much sadness and stress.
