Anyone ellse feel the burnout during the Christmas period?

Noticed I strugel with socilising more than once a week if I'm in a situation where I'm having to socilise more than once it just physically and mentally shatteres me. Come Christmas we have Christmas Eve where we socilise Christmas day then boxing day then shoot day and there's even a party after that usually. I have to sit certain events out as I personally find the socilising to much and need to retreat to my own space or literally nap it off anyone ellse the same on this?

  • Nope, no burn out here. I don't do Christmas. Instead I observe a nation of headless chickens for a month each year. Senselessly imparting with important funds for some toxic plastic tat to stuff inside their homes or their belly.

  • Well said!!!  Elements of celebrations are good but having to accept graciously gifts that one neither needs or wants is a waste of time and energy on all accounts.

    My best Christmas would be where everyone donates to a charity of their choice however much they can afford instead of buying each other presents.  I could write a book about all my thoughts about Christmas but I have stuff I gotta do and I don't think anyone would want to hear my rant despite me feeling better. :-)
