Yes.
Do you get anxiety around the holidays?
Nah, my holidays are usually stress free. My father is always on the road now for work, my mother is no longer here, one of my brothers is deployed for the army, and the other two usually go to their spouse's parent's for the holidays. It'll be just me and Sabre this year.
Sadly, yes. But every year I'm trying to get better about it.
No, I'm going to be alone.
No no money to buy gifts so i usually dont get any either
Nope actually it's usually the opposite. I get really excited around the holidays because it's always been my favorite time of the year ever since I was a little kid :)
No, but going out shopping becomes a bit of a nightmare as everyone acts as if their is going to be some food shortage. My partner gets mad about the amount of women who upset their children by threatening them with Father Christmas i.e. "Right, I'm going to tell Father Christmas not to come." One such parent was dragging her child alone the road by her arm the other day. Children get tired when shopping, I just don't get some people.
My partner and I don't buy gifts we wait until the sales, it makes no sense to buy something when it will be half price the next day. I just lay in on Christmas, get up watch rubbish Christmas TV, although depending on the weather it might be nice to go out, the roads should be empty. Then make a normal dinner, and get to bed early for the sales. On Boxing Day go out and buy myself some perfume, jumpers, and shoes and watch everyone going crazy.
No, I actually enjoy the holidays. I'm not a perfectionist, so the little problems that arise never ruin my joy.
No, not at all. I do all of my shopping online to avoid going to the stores or the mall. Big family dinner on Christmas eve at my oldest son's house and Christmas day dinner at with my inlaws.
Not as much as I used too. Now that my kids are all grown up and live in different states? The holidays are pretty mellow for me. Of course online shopping really helps also.
no but I get anxiety in general.
Not so much. I don't care much for the holidays though.
My anxiety is in the closet at the moment, but I'm sure it will make itself known at some inopportune time.
