How to be positive during the holidays?

Something that is helping me is actually volunteering as a listener! As an adult, I feel the spirit of the holidays by giving my time. When I was a kid, I felt the spirit of the holidays by receiving lots of gifts. I think as life goes on, it’s normal for us to change. Perhaps, it’s by trying something new that you might feel more positive and connected to the spirit of Christmas. By also spending time on this site, I feel a bit less lonely because I can communicate with others.

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with a lot of emotions, as you said. I know how that can be. Having coping activities helps me such as writing stories, volunteering here and going out for walks.
