It's Christmas day. May it be a wonderful holiday for you and yours. For some people, this is a time of year for joy and expression of love. But for others, it's a time of sadness and sorrow and recollections of better days. For some, the pressures to live up to expectations and to give of one's self can be enormous.
Depression can overwhelm.
For some, the beauty of this holiday season is participating in the religious experience that is Christmas. Attending a service at a house of worship is one way to reap the spirit of the holiday. Especially for families with children, exchanging gifts is a special moment. Getting gifts, and giving gifts, is fun and satisfying. We hope you can be among those for whom the holiday is a great time of year.
