She choses not to get on her with her family (she really does get on with them).

NO, I do NOT believe this is depression. I'm am sure you will get several if not many telling you this is depression. BUT I myself am a loner of sorts and I myself would feel very comfortable in being by myself. And yes I have family and do enjoy being with them but there are times when I want to be left ALONE and not be bothered by anyone at all.

In my opinion no. I plan on going skiing. There is nobody special in my life and I am used to this routine. The worst thing is sitting in somebody else's living room like the "well we invited him over because we didn't want him to be alone" guy. I have already put up the "wall". If all goes well I will be in my conditioning mode, which would be the best Christmas I could ever want.

i would say it is. why would anyone want to spend christmas alone unless they don't get along with family. family are the only people that truly care for you unconditionally for the most part and maybe a few friends if they really are true friends wouldn't christmas be a great time to come together again and celebrate family and christ

it could be but to be honest the year I buried my father I went away to the sea on my own and spent Christmas Day doing just that. I thought of the memories I had of my parents (both passed away). I enjoyed walking by the sea all on my own because everyone else was eating their Christmas lunch then in the night my husband came to join me and it was delightful. I had spent the day in deep thought. I did not consider myself depressed. I just knew I couldn't face family and friends. I needed the time to myself.

Hardly! Sounds like bliss. As long as you have made the decision yourself then it's good decision. There's no rule book that says "thee must spend Christmas with all your looney rellies and suffer for 2 days" to the best of my knowledge. Some of us like being with family at Christmas, some of us don't!

Not necessarily ... I'd love to spend the day alone and just reflect and I'm not at all depressed.

Not neccessarily - depends on how they are acting and feeling generally. I used to hate xmas and would've loved to spend it alone 'reflecting on the year' instead of dealing with the hassle of a tense family get together!

In and of itself...? No. You should try to use your best judgement, however. If this person has been doing other things which indicate that they are depressed, then you can bet that is the reason that they want to spend the day alone.

It could be depression or it could be that they really do want to take some time and think back to appreciate the good times and how they could change some things. What is the situation, exactly?
