Feeling a little down. A lot of bad stuff has been happening to me lately and I just haven’t been able to be happy. Any suggestions? I am trying to shop for others and hoping it will help me cope by giving.
I am helping a friend with a volunteer event wrapping gifts just before Christmas. Thanks.

Watch a bunch of christmas movies and then after you watch the movies make a list of things you want to buy. Then the next day you can go shopping!

Go Christmas shopping, decorate your Christmas tree, put Christmas lights outside your house, volunteer at a homeless shelter, things like that.

Shopping is a nice way. Are you donating some of your gifts to a worthy charity this year?
You could volunteer somewhere like a children’s home & wrap gifts.
Buying presents is nice, but giving back to the less fortunate is priceless!

those are some good ideas. Another is buy some decorations if you don’t have any and do up your house, or apt. inside and out! that will help you not to worry and be happy!

I like to sit down and put on a christmas movie but while I’m watching the movie I will make and decorate Christmas cookies, or do some sort of christmas craft. If you don’t have you decorations up yet, put on a christmas flick or carols and decorate your christmas tree!
Merry Christmas.

Just what you said – The holidays are more about giving than receiving (except for little kids). Go shopping and get excited about doing something nice for other people in your life. You could also try and get an x-mas tree (for the wonderful smell), go ice skating, listen to holiday music, hang some lights? If you’re even more philanthropic, you could go and volunteer and do something nice for the homeless or someone else that would make you feel good about yourself!
If you’ve feeling down, another sure cure is to exercise. The natural endorphins will act like an anti-depressant.

Buy some “Holiday Cheer”, and drink it while decorating for Christmas, and listening to Christmas music. Try Hot buttered rum, apple cider, egg nog with or with out alcohol, Chocolate peppermint martini, etc. Also works while wrapping presents.

Treat Yourself, Go shopping by all means, but for You! We all have our low times, these DO go away. Get out more and don’t dwell on what has happened, consent rate on the good things, that are sure to happen!! Chins up.

i usually do the Advent thing. Buy the five candles-one for each of the four weeks leading to christmas, one for christmas day, lighting one candle each sunday and the last, the center candle, on christmas day. advent begins on Dec 2 this year, i think…hang on a sec, let me shoot you a link…en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_wreath
ok, it’s gonna tell you that it’s a celebration of the coming of the Christ Child. yeah, ok. but christmas is on dec 25 for a reason. it’s placed very near the winter solstice, on the old birthdate of mithras-long story and an old one-basically celebrating the inevitability of the ending of the dark and the coming again of the white and the light. on the day of the winter solstice day and night, dark and light, are balanced. from that day forward, however slow it may seem, the march is toward hope and warmth and light.
that’s what advent is about. advent means it’s coming. the day of hope is coming. three of the candles are violet, symbolizing faithful expectation, one, the last, is rose: joy and hope. i like spending the season in a spirit of faithful expectation, knowing that the coming of the white is inevitable but celebrating it all the same-that ancient green magic, predating Christianity by eons…sympathetic magic, as above, so below.
the concrete nature of the advent candles and wreath anchors me spiritually, gives me a touch of magic…fire and green and the reminder that in the darkest hour is the beginning of the light. always and forever and without exception…winter solstice magic, as long as the earth keeps the same tilt to its axis…

I understand… if you’re going through stress and things are rough… the holidays can be a blah. I would think about things that you are truly thankful for… even if they are small, and even if you feel a bit selfish being grateful for them! Being thankful for anything that you feel is positive in your life is a nice way to let a little cheer in.

Volunteering to gift wrap is a great idea – shopping for others and giving helps also. Remembering the reason for the season will help. Find some joy in spending time with others….. hope this helps!
