Question

What would make a person sad at holiday time?

Answer 1

If someone very close and special to you died, and you missed seeing them duting that holiday, it could cause you pain. Also, if you suffered a traumatic episode during a specific holiday, this might cause you to be sad when you are reminded of it again every year - like an anniversary of something terrible. In these cases it is best to make a new tradition fo yourself and surround yourself with loving people who understand the grief you are experiencing again each year.

Answer 2

People feel nostalgic about their past holidays. Some good and bad memories can come to mind.

also, it is hard to measure up to the idyllic memories of your childhood.

Answer 10

I always get very sad around Christmas/New Year.  My husband died during that time of year and it's just difficult.  No one knows that I'm hurting, I have kids and focus on making their holidays bright.  That's how I manage to not dwell on the past and sink into depression.
