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 liked getting presents as a kid, the only thing I like now is the food. I hate writing cards so much, buying and wrapping presents can be an expensive chore. If I spread it through the year I’ll end up losing stuff and just spending more overall. There’s something different to remember every day for my daughter’s school and parties for extra curricular groups as well. I don’t believe in Jesus or God etc at all so it just all seems like a way of being made to spend money. I really wouldn’t be bothered if it didn’t exist
