I thought it was because I was getting old and my kids are all about grown up..my youngest is 15 and she was still excited but I just looked at her and thought she was mad
Christmas is what you make of it.
It isn't going to make up for something lacking in your own life.
The better question to ask would be why as an individual you feel this way when there's plenty of evidence showing that many do not. Obviously a lot of people know and are quite open that it's down to bereavement and they have my sympathy.
But if you've got a reasonable quotient of happiness and a major celebration makes you feel empty then it's really nothing to do with any of the surface tat that's pointed out as the reason for feeling down.
Who cares if the shops sell stuff way back in September? Or the neighbours don't put up so many lights.
Does anybody think something so facile can have so much effect?

Eastenders being the number 1 watched TV programme just about sums the nation up.
