Does anyone else feel this way?

As of right now, people all around are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, but I really don't like this time of year. Everyone else is preparing for Christmas and all the festivities and I'm looking forward to spring and summer. I'm not talking about not liking Christmas itself, I'm just talking about late Fall and Winter. The weather here is so dreary and cold and it seems that my emotions are all over the place during times like this. I just want to be somewhere warm where the sun is shining and just skip this whole thing called winter. I feel awful because of the way I feel because I love the traditions of Christmas and getting together with family and friends and knowing the true meaning of Christmas, but this time of year can really be depressing sometimes. Is anyone else with me on this? If so, how do you deal with the depression? For me, it really helps when I'm around people because when I'm alone I have much more time to think about it all and it makes me more depressed (if that makes any sense).

*I like this time of year, I think. I like it. Also spring and summer are nice, but I prefer anything but summer actually. I think summer is boring and all the other ones better. The weather is dreary. They say that people get depressed during winter. But I don't think I do. My psychologist used to say this. I think it is true for some people. I get depressed more during summer. It seems to last for so long. And it is quite hot. I bet in some places it is very dreary. I think being around people is good too. I am finding this.

oh christmas...i don't want to think about it anymore. I really dont know how my mom and siblings can face the fact that we will celebrate it without our dad who just passed away last january. Everytime I see christmas decors, everytime i hear christmas songs, it reminded me of my dad. He always make christmas special for the family. Now that he's gone, I hope everything will be ok with all of us. It will be very hard for sure, but good thing is it will just pass! So for now, cheer up scott ;)

Well I like this time of the year, not only because of christmas and the coming new year, but because it's my birthday, and my brother's birthday five days after mine.
