Why Do I Always Feel Depressed When Christmas Is Over?

I feel more depressed in the weeks leading up to Christmas. People stressing over buying the perfect gift. Stores with Santa and reindeer pictures blaring songs about mommy kissing Santa Claus, while they try to convince you to spend money. The general idea that Christmas and happiness lie in getting gifts, and the general madness that have become modern corperate 'Christmas'. What is forgotten is peace. Peace brought through a small child, said to be born of a virgin. Peace brought through a small child, who many believed fulfilled promises made by God to His people. Peace brought through a small child, who after living a phenomenal life, was crucified, died, and was entombed... Yet who many believe rose again from the dead so that we might all have true peace with the God who made us. I feel depressed because people often miss the hope that this season reminds us of.

It's like one of Newton's laws that for every action there is an equal, opposite reaction. After all the excitement, fussing, and fun, it all comes to an abrupt end. What goes up must come down so to speak. But now you get to play with all the new toys you got for Christmas. Cheer up!

Christmas is a hectic time. There's the stress of choosing and buying presents for friends and family, and it's that time of year when all the family get together, so when January approaches and its time for everyone to go home and get back to work, the house will seem very quiet. You're probably feeling depressed because it's all over and you have to settle in at work again.

Winter also begins around Christmas, so you may be feeling depressed because the weather is miserable. Also, the act of taking down Christmas decorations can make people feel depressed. Perhaps you are feeling depressed because a new year has started and you feel lost because Christmas is over.

On the plus side though, you have the January sales to look forward too! Also, if you've made a new year's resolution and you stick to it, then you will feel better and as though you have achieved something.

I'm alone and everyone's grown! So I miss them a lot!

Maybe because in these days you feel more close to your family or love ones, and when it finished, everyone goes back to a normal life and you still need them to feel OK.

Christmas is when you have fun with all of your relatives and drink lots of eggnog. You might be hung-over or you might be home sick or even the you might be feeling down is because you never got that present that you REALLY wanted.

Because when Christmas is over you don't get any more cool stuff, if you even got the cool stuff that you wanted. You have to go back to work, and work all year long just to pay for all the cool stuff you bought for everyone, only to do it all over again.

Well, if you're a kid, it means back to school. If you're an adult, it probably means back to work. With a hangover=)

You feel that way because you don't get any more presents

I think it is due to the excitement and energy of the season finally being over. A person can feel relieved that another holiday has passed but at the same time they may feel saddened that it is actually gone and not to return for another whole year.
