Holidays can be a real mixed bag of emotions for people.
For many, it is a joyful, cheerful time to reunite with friends and family and revel in holiday festivities. For still others, it can be full of grief. If you feel down around the holidays, you certainly aren't alone. The blues can also be caused by loneliness, sadness or grief over someone who is no longer there. The holidays are a tough time for people who are grieving or who are coming to terms with all sorts of losses in their lives.
