I DONT KNOW

Xmas isn’t really an easy time for me either, if it makes you feel any less alone. I’m a Winter baby but I definitely suffer from the Winter blues. It just seems that at the end of the year, you’d want to at least feel some sort of contentment, like you’ve accomplished something, and you only feel worse when you don’t feel like you have anything to really celebrate. Be what it may be. I personally don’t like the Holidays because I don’t really like endings, I don’t like the rush to get things done, I don’t like the cold, I don’t like all the hypocrisy and “good cheer”, and it just gives me nostalgia. Winter has a way of exacerbating everything, from pains to loneliness to stress to heart aches, you name it. I’m much more of a spring or summer person.

You’ll get through the depression, don’t worry. If it helps to talk to someone you should, be it a friend or professional. Sometimes it’s better not to deal with all the stress alone, and these are very stressful times. Also don’t take it personal that your son’s growing up, we all do, and interests change. Maybe the traditions aren’t as exciting as the gifts, but hey, that’s still part of the tradition, and that’s the way 90% of the kids are now in days too. Times are changing as well, and tradition is slowly dissipating. But you’ll be alright (:
