Do you like Christmas?

I have to admit it's not my fav time of year. I liked it when I was really little because of Santa and presents but now I'm an adult it just makes me anxious. Everything about it causes me anxiety and discomfort. The shops and town become super busy and loud, bright lights are flashing everywhere, it's colder usually, everything gets expensive and family always mix and party which I find very hard to cope with. I just want to hide away for the whole month and come back in January. I know it's not Christmas yet but it's closing in fast and I'm already anxious and dreading it.

    I enjoyed it when my Mum was alive, but not when I had to socialize with people who did it differently. 

    I am with you on the busy shops and they squash more in to make it worse. I now mostly shop online. It also gives me time to think rather than panicking to buy in a set time.

    I enjoyed present buying for my son when he was young. Now no parents alive, it is just our family of 3 and a very chilled day.
