Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I’m still struggling. I’ve noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood.

How are others feeling? Are you struggling, yet succeeding? If so, how are you breaking through?

      really? For me it’s more of a not having time. Doesn’t cost much to go caroling, watch Charlie Brown, cut paper snowflakes, make handmade gifts, etc

        Money is time. When you spend all of your time and energy focusing on working, eating, and sleeping because you’re too broke to do anything else, it doesn’t leave you with much time or energy to care about christmas.

      Money is the issue with all holidays in recent times. Take the fuckin’ money out of it, it should never have been involved in the first place.
