Thing s have been going pretty good lately but I have been somewhat down and exhausted the last two days I am wondering if Xmas is getting to me underneath the conscious level. It feels like SAD but like I say life has been going okay. Any one else feel like there is something behind the scenes.

I work in Retail..I am a Christian,I HATE Christmas..it's been ruined by commercialisim,greed and the crazy people (not beepers!) who seem to think that the more they buy,it fills the void in their souls.

I worked in food service for years and was forced to just think of it as another day of the year and worked almost every christmas. I too am christian too and always insisted on easter off as a trade off for thanks giving and christmas. you are right dd lots of nuts come out this time of year.

I'm with you guys except Thanksgiving is my holiday. I hang with family and give thanks for everyting!

Christmas is far and away the hardest time of year for me.

But, I love the songs!

"Chestnust roasting over an open fire..."

"Shall I play for you a rum pa pum pum..."

The best is Ray Giraldi's stuff, the music from the Charlie Brown Christmas show!

Me too,as far as Easter being the big family gathering..as a Retail person,Thanksgiving has become the last big day my family has together.
