This year is difficult for many people for different reasons - the ridiculous level of hype makes it worse, no such thing as the picture postcard family Christmas |

I'm sorry to hear that you don't have family you are close to.
I do hope that you may have some close friends who might include you in some of their Christmas festivities - even if it's just for a cuppa while they're preparing Christmas dinner.
I know that I had friends who took me in in the times my children are with their dad and I don't want to travel across the country to see my relatives. But I know I'm lucky with my support group, I know not everyone is.
If you are spending it on your own, try and stay somewhat active, go for a walk/run, make plans and stick to them. Prepare your own food and make it festive while enjoying a movie maybe.
Whereas I believe Christmas is about family, it has gotten wayyyy too commercial. Make it what it is for yourself - some extra time away from work.  |
