Anyone else got the holiday blues?

I don't know why, but I do...I have not bought one present, not put up a tree, not sung one cheezy Christmas carol...
And it is not for lack of anything that the "want to"...
This should be the best Christmas I have had in a long time...The kids and I are happy and safe, my money situation is finally straightening out...so what gives?
Anybody else out there feel this way?

I'm right there with you. No tree, no shopping, no decorations on the house, wife and I are fighting, haven't spoken in two days. Damn Christmas music on the radio non-stop. Not really looking forward to Christmas, moreso the couple days off from work. It will get better I suppose, it always does

Sorry Donna that it isn't going too well. I get pretty depressed around Christmas too. It may be, for me, the lack of daylight, and the cold. I really hope it gets better for you.

The spirit of the season hasn't hit me yet either really. I have the tree up because it's artificial and I had two teenagers to help. I've gotton some xmas shopping done because I has a Friday off work and didn't know what else to do with myself.
Christmas songs come on I turn off the radio, left early from my company Xmas party, Hell I was home by 7PM. Does that sound as if the season has taken hold of me?
Oh well, guess you can't always be in the holdisay mood.

Absolutely. I'm considering a total boycott of the holidays. (I know, it sounds pathetic.)

My wife got the blues the other night.  Missed the kids. Thinking about the past when they were at home. Your not alone. She's better today, still misses the kids and the grandson, that really gives her the holiday blues, cause they are so far away. Ba humbug. Hope your on the nice list.

Donna,
Try to put the tree up on christmas eve, if no presents then let that be the present for them. Christmas isn't about anything you buy in a store, it is about a free gift given to all. I have done nothing this year, maybe on christmas eve.

Lord, what a sorry assed bunch we are - sadly, I agree with all of you. Just not doin' it for me this year either but it's never been my favourite time of year.
Presents are all bought, all wrapped, tree is up, house decorated, and I'm still not in the Christmas frame of mind.

Bah-hum-fucking-bah......as you can tell the answer is YES. I always get stress messed dureint he holidays.....I get moody, depressed, pissed off, and bitchy as hell and negative. I think it is cuz the holidays are jus "too much" to comprehend. Gotta go buy all these people stuff ya normally don't by shit for or see.....gotta send all these cute lill joy joy cards to everyone ya know esp family or there think yer an uncareing jerk and rude. Gotta bake cookies till they come out yer ears so you can end up feedin the squirrles. Got all that stuff ya went into debt over to now wrap with expensive paper then tears on every corner....gotta buy lots of tape and bows of course. Gotta fight with a tree IN your house and plug in fire hazard lead tinted wire lights and dangerous glass balls that cut when ya step on em (or dog or cat eats one or the tinsil and ends up at the vets with BIG HUGE bill)......gotta set snowmen and winter scene decorations all round the house (I hate snow and winter).....and then there's the Christmas music in the stores and singing mechanical Santa clauses. Not to mention traffic and packed stores with LONG lines ya gotta put up with tryin not to catch the flu or a cold from all the SICK people sneezein on ya. Oh and all that eating and blowing your diet.....it's all an evil plan Pam
Ho-ho-ho.......................Good thing is New Years eve is around the corner....so everyone gets blasted drunk to drown there sorrows suffering from the holiday blues. Until next year...............................................

typically, holidays are okay by me. But, now that I'm in pain and not sure of anything with these headaches, I want it to go away (both the holidays and the headaches, actually).
i got presents for the people i care about before i got hit. so, there's that, but no decorations. hell, i'm afraid doing much of anything will trigger another attack. just waiting for the damn neuro appt, and hoping an Rx works.
i try to keep positive, and i put on a pretty good front with others, but shopping for secret santa gift at work--you've got to be kidding me. look, if i wanted to buy you a damn present i would. i don't want to because i barely know you and we seem to work well that way, what do ya say we keep it like that. 
uh--sorry. what was the topic again?

I'm cheerful this year!
I heard santa is sick and Ms claus is delivering the gifts wearing nothing but a thong. I set the milk and cookies out along with a bottle of scotch. If I wake up, the scotch bottle is empty and she's burping on my sofa I get what I wished for on my CHristmas list.

Out of the norm for me but I am looking forward to and already enjoying these holidays!
I've got the presents wrapped and under the tree, etc etc etc.
Amazing difference when the beast is not controlling my life.

The 12 days of christmas? It seems more like 50 or more, starting around thanksgiving. That has a lot to do with it, it's just too drawn out.
Usually I'm a big scrooge, bah. I get depressed this time of year, money, the real meaning of christmas, the music and all those damned happy people. Why are they so happy? I don't know. I think christmas would be a lot more special if we celebrated about every 3-5 years.
This year it has been different. Time is going so fast. It's almost like christmas is sneaking up on me. It will be over before you know it.
I don't have the christmas cheer, but I'm not bunned out either. I'm just kind of on cruise control.
