Anyone else struggling with the holidays?

I'm usually not a bah-humbug type of person, but I just cannot get into it this year. I hurt, I'm mad, I'm frustrated and just not feeling “jollly". I just want to crawl into bed, pull the covers over my head and come out January 3rd or so. Please tell me I'm not alone.

ETA- to fix an autocorrect spelling erro

You're not alone. We got the outdoors decorations up after Thanksgiving because its expected but haven't done a single thing inside the house. Just can't bring myself to care enough.

Feeling absolutely the same. We usually don't do anything for Christmas, but we really doubled down on it this year. We only went to one party, didn't send cards, and there are no decorations AT ALL. My SIL sent DS a gift; he's a young adult so he wasn't really invested in Christmas.

Tomorrow, we are going to order Chinese food and watch a movie.

I think I like it like this. Not the cancer part, but the ease of not participating in Christmas.

I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m just not into it this year. I have no kids so I’m just fine skipping the whole thing. My family on the other hand are flipping out. Live a year in this body and deal with the physical and mental toll mbc has on you, and then let’s talk about the “jolly holiday”.

I am also having a tough time. First Christmas with my stage 4 diagnosis and it has been really hard. Struggling with my new norm.
