While the holiday blues are very real, you don't have to feel any certain way just because it is the holidays. And if you do find yourself feeling less than festive, there are many things you can do. Let's take a closer look at different kinds of holiday blues and what to do about them. If you find yourself imitating the Grinch or Scrooge this season, you're not alone. The stress and pressure of everyday life can drain the holiday spirit right out of you.
Many people are just too tired to enjoy the holidays.
Allow yourself to ease into the holiday mood. Find some small things to celebrate. People who may be forced by circumstances to be away from loved ones are especially vulnerable to the loneliness blues. Take good care of yourself, even treat yourself. Give the gift of yourself by helping others.
