Melancholia



Every year at this time I look forward to listening to Christmas songs starting the day after Christmas and through New Years.

With Sirius XM in my car I am able to listen to the Holly channel and hear all the classic songs as well as some new ones.  What I tend to forget very often is that most Christmas songs are very sad and bring to mind memories that make me melancholy and sad.  I have downright cried in my car listening to some of the songs because of people who I miss who are no longer around or part of my life.

I know that this is supposed to be a time of joy; but, I can also understand why so many people are sad, depressed and cannot wait for the holidays to be over.
