The Christmas and upcoming holiday season is often called the Season of spreading cheer & goodwill, the season to be ‘jolly’.
Yet that’s the exact opposite of what many people do during the holidays. People who are lonely & experiencing family problems feel their loneliness and pain more acutely at the time when commercialization & the media flaunts images of happy families celebrating good times together. Introspection makes many people feel like failures and worthless because they often do not live up to the tasks they set out for themselves to do the previous year. Pressure to look one’s best for the invariable parties or to appear successful in front of one’s extended family or to provide gifts for everyone is enough to stress out the most calm person.
