It's quite common. Less sunlight means lower levels of vitamin D and less exercise, both of which contribute. And then there's the crowded shops and the adverts -- which are intentionally designed to make you feel like you can't possibly be happy unless you have a family of 43 and have spent $500 on each and every one of them.
So we're getting hit with a double whammy, physical and emotional pressures at the same time.
This is the time of year when we really need to work with what we've got. Major snowstorm? Great for a peaceful walk. Alone? Use the time to read a really good book, listen to favorite music or watch a great movie. Overwhelming family? Try to appreciate them and take advantage of their numbers to sneak away for a half hour for that walk, music or book.
And don't overdo it on the alcohol and desserts, might life the spirits short-term, but both can cause rebounding symptoms later.

Yes, a lot of us are sadd at Christmas time, first of all we do not see much Sunshine, that makes a lot of us depressed. and then there is the sadness about family members who are no longer with us. . The ones that far away.Or perhaps the ones that will not forgive and are not able to get along. However, it is Christmas Day and we will be joyous, for the Birth of our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas

It' s very common. THe stress of all the happenings, being with family, pressure to have a good time and be of good cheer. The looming New Years which can be a let down. It can get too much. Mix that with alcohol and over eating and no wonder. Mental Health steps up suicide watch for many people just for that reason.

I do. I live in Florida and I miss the cold weather and snow that always characterized Christmas. It rains and the ground is covered with leaves. It looks like it should be September outside, not December. I hate it. It's so hot this year, we have to have our AC unit on. Most years, it's at least cool enough outside to have the heater on. Then I can just shut my windows, make some hot chocolate, burn Christmas-y scents and pretend it's snowing outside. But not this year. Darn subtropical climate.

Yes. I have had lots of horrible things happen to me in Dec. This includes being diagnosed with a genetic disease, losing my high paying job, having three surgeries, one of them being life threatenting. All I can think of id how sill y people act with their STUPID presents and candy canes when I know what the IMPORTANT things are.
HATE christmas.
