Remember that you don\u2019t have to go to every holiday event or any, if you are not in the spirit. Write down why you are sad this time of the year. It allows you to process your feelings on paper. Pray and share your sorrow with God. Praying brings comfort and strength.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that helps is to express feelings of hope. Yes, deep within us we can find them. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/mountaintop-moments-finding-hope-in-hard-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keeping hope in our lives<\/a> will get us through the season even when we don\u2019t want to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>The hope of Christmas is the promise that God is with us in our fear, sadness, loss and troubles. Take time to reflect on the<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/bible-verses\/bible-verses-about-hope\/5-bible-verses-that-offer-hope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> things that bring you hope.<\/a> Stay in the moment and look for the people, things and experiences that bring a little light into your life.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s OK to feel down during the holidays. It\u2019s what we feel, but it doesn\u2019t need to take away the beauty of the season. Let us be encouraged to work through our emotions and embrace all the good that comes with Christmas. Hope can be found in the middle of despair, light in times of darkness, joy in troubled times.
