People who suffer from depression and are alone tend to suffer the most during the holidays.

It especially sucks if you’re a criminal (see Home Alone)

Why are people forced to spend more money around the holidays? People shouldn't feel pressured into doing so. That's where stress can stem from. Be happy with what you do have and what you can afford. The people on the receiving end or lack there of will be ok with that either way. A child can still receive his or her gifts when the parents can afford. It's ok.

This is how major depression feels to me. I dont want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.

This is why you need to go to Tahiti during the holidays. It's a magical place.

ofc the dinners, christmas movies and gifts are fun. but for those depressed alone or just having a bad time in life. christmas time is a time of hope and looking forward for a better life in the next year. for me its the only time of the year (besides summer) where i dont feel stressed or anxiety.

I feel like I'm the only person who is truly excited around the holidays. Christmas is my favorite holiday simply because I get to see all my family. We don't see each other often so it's lots of fun during the holidays!

I've never noticed the amount of waste at Christmas as much as I have this year. It's quite sinister and frankly sickening. We just can't raise awareness of this issue fast enough but your fun and interesting videos are such a great approach to spreading messages to drive change. You guys are amazing! Merry Christmas, Meg

Im 17 and don’t stress too much about it. I feel bad for everyone who does. Chill out, if you don’t like it that’s okay too :)
Stay healthy <3

In my country, you can already hear Christmas songs being played in malls and radios on the first day of September. And since we’re prone to typhoons and storms, especially from September to December, a lot of families here are victims of natural disasters. But people who weren’t affected would actively give aid to the victims especially when it’s almost Christmas...

EDIT: Just wanted to share that even though a lot of people are stressed out from the preparations of Christmas, there are also others that despite being tired, are willing to give aid and serve other people. Knowing that Christmas is about caring for others, being generous, showing kindness, and also being grateful and contented.

Good thing I avoid most of these by crocheting presents for my friends and family and make them practical in everyday use. Also, it feels much more full filling to learn a skill and gift someone with something so personal like a handmade gift

[Rahulbajaj]

Well i just lost all of my friends few years back from now. And right from then onwards I'm celebrating literally every special occasions alone in my room also my birthdays. Really sucks being lonely especially during new years and birthdays. And it sucks even more when your brother/sisters celebrate new years in their room next to your room with their friends & have fun.

When you got another lego set even though you already have like hundreds of them

That's why I just don't check my bank account during the holidays
