Happy New Year 2024: 8 unique ways to welcome the New Year

Reasons why Christmas can feel lonely: Therapist explains

Christmas is one of the largest festivals celebrated all over the world. It brings with it joy, happiness, hope and holiday cheer. However, sometimes Christmas can feel lonely for some people. "It’s not always the merry, jolly season for everyone. From the pressure of picture-perfect festivities to the stress and burnout before the holidays, there are many reasons some of us might feel a bit isolated. Social anxiety, loss of loved ones, family conflicts, and big life changes can weigh heavily during this time. Other things like mental health challenges or simply feeling overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of the season can also add to that sense of being alone in a crowded room," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani.
