'Research has found Christmas can be a time of decreased well-being even for people surrounded by their loved ones.'
Snowmen, tables groaning with food, and families having a wonderful time together – these are the images that probably pop into your head when you think of Christmas.
In reality, feelings of loneliness are amplified for many over Christmas. The parties and socializing in the lead up to the big day are swiftly followed by a lingering emptiness as as offices, schools, and shops close for the festive season. It can feel like the whole world is caught up in a universal experience of Christmas that we are excluded from.and create an expectation of what Christmas should look like.
The build-up seems to start earlier each year, with evidence suggesting that people begin to think about Christmas from as early as August, and with the, people have been planning their spending in advance. So by the time Christmas arrives, the festive messages will have been intensifying for weeks if not months.
Christmas itself is hard if not impossible to escape from entirely. But there are things you can do to manage your experience if you plan to spend time by yourself over advent. It can help to bear in mind that far fewer people are having a glossy family celebration straight out of a Coca-Cola advert than you’d expect. For some people this will be a busy period, but for others it will be a time of quiet reflection.
