Christmas. Such a magical time. Just look at the Hallmark channel and you'll realize that December is the month where all your dreams come true and long-feuding families put their differences aside and everyone loves Jesus. Everyone knows this.
If only it were true. Like Elvis, you may find yourself with a deep, deep blue Christmas for a variety of reasons. Looking around and seeing everyone else so merry doesn't help. Whether you're going through money troubles, love life troubles, mother-in-law troubles, midlife crisis troubles, quarter life crisis troubles, end of life crisis troubles or anything else, take comfort in knowing that you're not alone. Someone close to you is probably going through a healthy load of you-know-what, too, and sticking it out together will be better than going it alone. For those times when all seems for naught, take time to take care of yourself and here's a happy list of things you can do. Enjoy! 1) Re-read a favorite book 2) Re-watch a favorite movie 3) Re-watch a favorite TV show 4) Start a new TV show (like "Downton Abbey") 5) On second thought, don't start "Downton Abbey".
