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.
Yep, I start dreading it from the beginning of October.
But remember folk you do not HAVE to socialise. I know everyone expects it and they don't get it if that's not a "fun" thing. But, I generally find: "Love you all, but leave me alone until after New Year" kind of works. They all jokingly call me the Grinch, but I don't care. My mood is 100% better on Jan 1st.
Lol love that Dawn love you all but leave me alone haha. You're not alone I feel the same way and I'm also the Grinch of the family.
