Christmas time is finally here, and most people during this
holiday are happier than a fat kid eating a Krispy Kreme donut.
Christmas brings so many great things to the table; the caroling, the
NO SCHOOL, the snowmen and hour long snowball fights that ends with
bloody noses, the eggnog and drunken relatives, the presents, holiday
parties, and the drinking hot coco next to a roaring fire while
cuddling up with your loved one. How could anybody not love this great
holiday! It’s a hiatus from the dark sadness of reality and a
time where you can be ridiculously happy! But maybe too happy…
In a recent poll, over 45 percent said that they dreaded
the holiday altogether. Not everyone seems to see the light that
Christmas brings, and if you look harder into the eyes of this joyous
holiday, you may see why. More people kill themselves around Christmas
time than any other time of year. “Well,” Khayeni Sanders,
a fellow Christmas lover states, “I think you should make a club,
or a house, for those people. It’s like an equivalent of a
homeless shelter! Wait, what’s the question again?”
There are several reasons why people just don’t
like Christmas, one is that spending Christmas alone is a very
depressing situation for anyone. The couple theme that constantly
exists with this holiday is not easy to hide from if you are single.
For people who are already suffering from depression, the Christmas
season only makes it worse. Another reason is the belief that Christmas
has become too commercial. In fact, over 50 percent of people polled
said that they think Christmas should be toned down a bit. “It
definitely has become too commercial with people putting out
decorations two months in advance, but the spirit behind it has
generally stayed the same for most people” declared Sarah Geiger.
A third common reason why Christmas isn’t favored by some is that
there is often a feeling that everyone else is having a better time
than you. The constant belly-full-of-jelly laughs around the company
water cooler may have you thinking, “Did I miss something? Am I
being left out?!
What’s going on?!” Other more common dislikes
are the constant money spending, the overeating, and the Christmas
parties. Christmas time can also remind people of a lost one, which
could make anyone, have a miserable Christmas time. All of these
horrible things that tag along with Christmas could make even Satan cry
a tear of sympathy for the people who just can’t see the joy
Christmas can bring. It’s a shame not everyone can be happy
during this time of year, but being depressed on Christmas is
completely understandable. These poor saps seem to miss the Christmas
bliss train every year, but who knows; this year maybe, just maybe,
they’ll catch it.
