I don't usually listen to the radio, but it being the Christmas season and I am not in the Christmas spirit. I decided to turn the radio on an listen to some Christmas music. And see if that will help with my spirit. I haven't even put up any decorations this year. I am not a Bah Humbug sort of person. If I didn't live alone I would be supportive of anyone here and participate in the holidays. T[b]hat might be the wrong approach. Some of this music is making me realize just how lonely I am. [/b] Are listening to any of the Christmas Music? Do you think the Christmas Music will help get me in the Christmas spirit? Do you think I should get out among the Christmas Shoppers and see if that will help? If you have any more suggestion I will appreciate hearing them.

I guess that while listening to christmas music you just have to pick and choose which songs make you feel lonely and which ones make you feel happy. I think that getting out amongst Christmas shoppers might help but it might hinder as well. I guess it depends on where you live. I'm sorry your not in the Christmas spirit.

maybe snow cream will help? If no snow, sugar, milk, Vanilla Extract and ice tray.... that's the way to make fake snow cream.

Yes, I think Christmas music helps. I put in a CD yesterday and it really got me into the spirit of the holiday. I wouldn't go out among the shoppers unless you have to. It is way to crowded and could make for a bad day at the mall or walmart. I would just pop in some holiday music and let it overtake your senses. Also, baking something like cookies will make your kitchen smell sweet, and will help your senses get you into the spirit.

Depends. For me sometimes it work to give me the spirit of Christmas but sometimes not. Even make me worst and feel home sick because I can not celebrate it with my family in my home country.

Listening to Christmas songs actually gets me in the mood and it also makes me excited. I really like Christmas songs but way back before i dont like Christmas songs, maybe i just feel lonely remembering Christmas during those times but now i feel better and i feel happy knowing that it is Christmas. I guess there might just be something missing in your life that is making you lonely. I hope you would find that something or someone that would make your Christmas happy. I think it also helps going out with other shoppers during Christmas even just walking and looking around.

I haven't decorated a Christmas tree yet, I have nothing at home that could remind me Christmas.I'm not listening to Christmas music.I'm waiting for that special mood and I'm sure that it will come to me, I guess it will happen on Monday while looking for some small gifts in the shop or walking the street.I want to catch that Christmas spirit in town and then bring it home to me.

No. I am not listening to Christmas music. Although can not escape from it in the supermarkets! I am not so much in the mood for Christmas, and that music makes this feeling only worse. So I stay loyal to my favorite music lists and I do not search for troubles!

What generaly helps me is to do something nice for someone else. If its a card, a call, or make them something, or just some act of kindness. Focusing on what I can do to make things better is what works for me. Best wish's and Merry Christmas!

Hi Chevee, It is sad that you are alone especial at this time of year, but aren't you going to your daughter's place? I just hum christmas songs and have done my tree, my hubby is bah humbug not don't get involve with it all, so I just get into the mood on my own. Hugs Tamara

Christmas music definitely helps. I usually get the christmas blues this time of season. And you're right its kinda lonely. especially when you're growing old. I think you should get out and spend quality time with loved ones and celebrate christmas together. And play more christmas music to make it memorable. Merry Christmas to you! :)
