Christmas is only 19 days away as I write this.
Every year, it's such a big and long buildup to The Big Day. And then December 26th comes along, and it's business as usual. "Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Men" gets tossed out with the gift wrap. Such a letdown.
I'm supposed to feel happiness and joy this time of year. I don't. And I refuse the "fake it 'till you make it" approach. I"m not going to put on or paint on a smile when I don't feel like smiling.,
( So why am I so unhappy this time of year? )
So, what can I do to cope? I'm open to suggestions.
