I feel the same way. I just buy myself presents and steer clear of malls, carols, and things like that. I hope you feel better and have a Happy Birthday!!

I don't know where you live ,but try driving in area where poor people (really poor homeless people live , /children sleeping in boxes on the streets ,begging, visit the hospital where the children have no hope ,parents trying to hold back the tears because their child has slept into a comma or has die and if that ain't enough ,go pass the cemetery you might be in time for a mother, father sister or brother's funeral service or look at the news, many people who were here last Christmas ,will be absent from there family this Christmas,before you continue the blues thing count your blessing,Your birthday is as special as everyone born that day, we need the remember the reason for the season,got some extra money ,take a toy or food to some one who might night get a gift or food this season.Happy Birthday to you and you have a lot to be thankful for Merry Christmas. Be happy

I know several people going through the blues, myself included. Get a full spectrum light - that helps - part of the winter blues is due to lack of sunlight. Try some St. Johns Wort or some SAM-e for a mood pick me upper.
I'm not really doing any celebrating - that way i don't have to look at lights, food and decorations I am not sharing with anyone. That way it is just like any other time. I found it is better if you can do something do something that picks you up - go to a funny movie, not a sad one. The locals church or school fundraiser that has kids and people playing games.
My dad's birthday is the 29th - and my sisters was too - she died several years ago - so after that it always has been kind of difficult this time of year.

Holiday blues are extremely common. I think it's actually one of the times of the year where you can predictably see a rise in suicides. It's kind of a *****, too, when you are depressed this time of year because the one thing you need to do - go out and be social - is just not what you feel like doing. This is one time when physical activities like, say, the gym or ice skating (if you live in a place that does that) or maybe just dance lessons can really help. That way you don't have to force being social and you get the benefit of the exercise.

Don't expect anything. Seriously. It's funny but when you have high hopes and expectations you are usually disappointed when things don't go as you wanted them to. Appreciate what you do get; find uniqueness and beauty in it.
Another thing try to get sunlight. The reason for this is that cases for depression go up during the winter season (Seasonal Affective Disorder). So if you can't get to about an hour of sunlight a day, consider light therapy at your psychologist or therapist. Don't worry psychologists aren't only for "crazy" people.
Get up early and have a half an hour walk. This gets your blood circulating and facilitates the release of mood chemicals in your brain. But don't see it as a chore; have fun. Check out christmas decoration, explore new territory, bring a bag to pick up trash, etc.
Hope this helps.

Why not spend it with family? If u really want to do something there are alot of soup kitchens or churches that need help feeding the homeless or needy. At least u will be with people who are thankful, or spend it with friends.

The offer of money usually works, but it won't work on this occasion. Next time someone you know has hiccups offer them a fiver if they do one more, and i swear they won't (because they'll be trying).

Have your own birthday party on Christmas and invite a poor family or servicemen over for the dinner. http://www.carm.org/doctrine/100truths.htm

this time of year is hard for many people, spend more time in prayer an with others less fortunate than yourself and maybe that will help change your perspective of things.
