Keep your expectations modest. Don’t get hung up on what the holidays are supposed to be like and how you’re supposed to feel. If you’re comparing your holidays to some abstract greeting card ideal, they’ll always come up short. So don’t worry about holiday spirit and take the holidays as they come.
Do something different. If the usual routine fill you with holiday dread rather than holiday joy, don’t surrender to it. Try something different. Help in the church, donate your time...
Lean on your support system. If you’ve been depressed, you need a network of close friends and family to turn to when things get tough, s So during the holidays, take time to get together with your support team regularly or at least keep in touch by phone to keep yourself centered.
