Christmas Loungeroom

Christmas Loungeroom

For all those who are both celebrating and avoiding Christmas this year the Chistmas Loungeroom is a place for us all to hang out. It is especially for those who will be alone throughout this Christmas period and as a place to come together and enjoy the company of others in what can be a difficult time for many.

Feel free to post your stories, images, grievances, etc. of this period and to leave messages for other members to help each other get through this time of year.

Christmas day can be extra hard for some so this is a place for us all to get together on the day and share it with other members.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Its good to read your thoughtful post. @eth Thanks

Many people are reacting against the capitalist takeover of christmas. Life Matters ran a show about grandparents deciding not to buy for ungrateful kids.

Here is one approach that caught my eye.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Sorta sounds familiar @Wanderer re loops but sometimes it just needs good nights sleep or well just comes out of nowhere. Or overcompensating if that makes sense in case it happens. Something saw recently adds to feeling that it’s inherited in my case , experiences of parents can affect DNA they’re saying now. Dunno about that but upbringings maybe yes. Siblings grew up how they were supposed to seems. Just me maybe. Anyway All sounds a bit blamey and others ok or became sort of ok.absent father with PTSD and huge chip on shoulder/sense of inferiority and loss. All plastered over with anger and absence. Anyway. You can do it.
