when one is happy or content the holiday season is just grand. if one is depressed, with concerns over money, things are not going well at home, and one has not achieved the things/ situations in his or her life that one has worked very hard for then the holidays just augments the things harping at your soul.

Believe it or not, you can be in the middle. It's like sitting on a block of ice with your head in the oven. Well, not quite that bad, I suppose. I hope you find your balance.
