Awaken Your Christmas Spirit! Christmas is a time of year where we get together with our friends, family, and loved ones. Houses are lit up with beautiful lights, a gorgeous tree decorated with family creations and memories, the house smelling of turkey, and the sounds of laughter and great conversation. Christmas can be such a warm time of year, even when it is cold outside. For some however, the holiday season can be a difficult time, depending on their current life situation and mindset. Some may view the holiday season as stressful and expensive in which can create negative emotions in a time where positive emotions are needed. During the winter season, for most, is a time of cold weather, lack of color, a reduction in Vitamin D, therefore an increase of depression can be more likely. Christmas is a time where society brings light and warmth in the cold months to raise spirits higher. The lights people string up on their houses bring color to the outdoors, the gifts are a reminder to still continue giving for the purpose of stimulating them during the colder months when they otherwise cannot spend the time outdoors that they are normally accustomed to.
