A stressful, overwhelming time of year full of expectations. But also at times enjoyable, like actually on Xmas eve and day when I get to see my sis who I don't get to see very often, have a nice dinner there, give and get gifts, watch Christmas movies and enjoy visiting with the people I care most about in the world.
I don't think I'll ever ultimately let anything stop me from celebrating it each year and making the best of it, even if I had no family or friends I would still just do my best to enjoy it on my own & remember all the Christmases that I enjoyed in my life. This year it might be a bit emotional cos we had to put our kitty down a few days before Xmas last year so it will mark the 1 year anniversary of that. Maybe it will have a bit of sadness every year cos of that but I try to celebrate the good parts of it too, it's not all bad imo
