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.
Christmas is weird for me because I hate it except for Christmas Day, but I think that's just because my daughter loves it so much and it gets me excited seeing her very excited and happy on the day. The build up to it though is stressful and exhausting for me. Everywhere becomes busy. Things becoming more expensive. And then family want to meet up and do meals which I then have to try and find an excuse to get out off it without hurting people's feelings.
Not my favourite time no.
