There is too much emphasis on Christmas, starting in September, the many people who do not have a happy family to visit, the many people who do not have a vast selection of friends calling round, they must feel this is the worst time of the year to deal with the pressures of enjoying the" festive season" The very basic idea of Happy Families gathered round the Christmas tree must be very sad for 50% of the population. Specially feeling it this year as after moving, it will be me and my son on our own, mother too old to visit, friends too far away to make a visit worthwhile without a drink. Hope there will be some other sad people on CBF at Christmas.
