12 Loneliness
| 
For some people, Christmas can be a very lonely and depressing time of year. For those who are separated by distance or estranged from their families, feelings of isolation may be exacerbated. To help cope with feelings of depression and loneliness, find out if anyone else in your social circle is spending Christmas alone and organise to spend the day together or consider volunteering at a charity, homeless shelter or nursing home on Christmas Day. Participating in local community events like Carols by Candlelight can also offer a sense of belonging.
