******Thanksgiving, Christmas, Just Any Holiday... xx
Yep. November and February are always tough months for me and I avoid talking about the bad stuff during those months.
There isn't a good time for any of the bad stuff. We have celebrations and family gatherings in every month. It's better to focus on the good memories that we were blessed to be able to make.

I'm so sorry Paris. I hope you brother-in-law recovers quickly. May your family members rest in peace.
Yes, sometimes I get sad on the holidays. It's either because I remember people who passed away recently or because holidays remind me that I don't have a family.
I'm sorry about all those bad things happening in your life. And, yes, usually every holiday. I think it's the juxtaposition of all the things that might be bad in our lives against the engorged euphoria of the holiday season to which is added a huge helping of memories.
I had a long distance relationship with someone and it really sucked even more during the holidays.

You’ve got the best Resume I have seen for 4th Quarter Caribbean Paradise Vacation that I’ve seen in awhile. I saw your circumstances…do you usually stay around Home on holidays
Sorry to hear about your extended family. We will be praying for you. My mom died just before Christmas very near her birthday, and my dad just afters 13 months later.

I am usually very busy in the month of December and don't have time to get sad.
Unfortunately yes. But I try and make the best of it.
Quite!! In 1999, my grandmother died 2 days before Christmas!!
In 2021, my aunt died on Jan. 5th after 3 days in the hospital.
The same year, my cousin died on April Fool's day.
2016, mom died 6 days after my b-day!
2010, my singer died just after Halloween.
2018, my evil, greedy ex-sisters had me evicted from my house the week before Christmas!!
2017, my uncle died a few days before July 4th. The year before, my cousin died the exact same day...3 weeks before mom died.My first love lost her mother to breast cancer on Christmas Day in 2005. Ever since then, she always hated Christmas. But when she met me, she was so happy to have a guy like me in her life. Her aunt told me that she has never been happier. She now looks forward to Christmas every year since she met me.
Yeah the holidays can be a bit depressing for some reason. Both of my parents died from cancer and it’s a life changer for sure. I do my best to count my blessings and remain as positive as I can. One thing that always gives me a lift is doing things for others that are less fortunate and I think everyone should whether feeling down or perfectly happy.
My grandmother passed away on boxing day 1983/84. Christmas has never been the same in my family since. She was the one who brought the whole family together. That was the last time everyone was together for the holidays.
Yes, holidays aren’t the same without my dad. So around Christmas, birthdays and other holidays it’s just not the same without him so I do get a little despondent and don’t feel like actually celebrating
I'm always sad, not the serious type.
Just sad and with no motivation to do anything, may I die in a peaceful manner with no one blaming my dead, no to painful and hope there'll be no hell or heaven just Nothingness just black.
Your holiday's seem rough and I can see the sadness.
Sadness no, but dealing with a partner with C-PTSD, Pure O, and a few other conditions the holiday can get stressful.Sure. A great time to get out of ones shell and serve others. when you focus on others and doing good, my guess is, magically... you feel better.
Yes that is why I'm not that big on Christmas. I hate the family meetings and all that comes with that.
But I love the long walks to see the city decorations, snow, markets, ...Normally I'm fine. But we lost mom in January so I think this Holiday Season will be a little rough.
I miss my mom and sister the most this time of year. But I'm thankful to have all the wonderful memories that I shared with them.
When both your parents pass, spending your first Christmas without them was rough. Now days I try to find Christmas parties my friends have so I am not at home welling up in tears.
Yeah I feel you pain. My father died the day after Christmas. It's bittersweet. But you have to remind yourself they still love you. Death cannot stop that. Have faith you will see them again one day. I'll pray for you.
My grandpa dies when I was kid the morning before Easter. My grandma died years later 4 days before Christmas. So, yes.
i experience the opposite considering i had cancer surgery and am now cancer free so i actually experience happiness because im alive to see the holidays with my family
Not really, but to be fair. I'm thick skinned and I don't really let shit get me down
