CHRISTMAS 2018/NEW YEARS Chillout Lounge

[kanga_brumby]

Hey Everybody! Christmas is the time of year to enjoy & share with family & friends. Some people will spend this time alone & isolated too!
This is a safe place where people can post and say hello, chat or send wishes to others and have a 'Virtual Christmas/New Years'!
Whether you have plans for Christmas/New Years or having a quiet one you can kick back and just enjoy company of others. Its been a long year. Even if you have never posted on Beyond Blue before you are very welcome to come in and sit around our 'Virtual Christmas Tree' and chat 🙂
You asked for this Paul here it is for all.
Santa (AKA Kanga Peter) Ho Ho! 🙂

Hi Bethie,

Just about to get off the computer and get a few jobs done about the place. Here in our part of S. A. it is tinder dry. Not sure of our weather predictions, just hoping it is not hot and windy, don't like the idea of bushfires on Christmas Day!

We will be driving into Adelaide and almost right through the city to reach the in-laws home Christmas Day. I will be our designated driver and will have a celebration drink when we arrive home again. I actually enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee so no alcohol Christmas Day will be fine until we get home.

Hope you all have a wonderful celebration! Cheers from Dools

Last year I was here in the lounge and had a great time so of anyone is feeling a little lost like me then pop in here. You're never alone here.

Hi Everybody 🙂

This thread rolls around pretty quickly

CMF asked a good question a couple of days ago.....

"What is everyone doing on Christmas Eve'??

My Best always/ Paul

I don't know Paul what I will be doing. I try to let people in on a good thing I am doing for myself and it gets caned because it might trigger someone else into doing something bad. But I wasn't going that way at all. Any hoo with any luck I might be around. With some happy news. I have had a chat with a helper, wearing a red hat.Who knows what they might bring.

I'm going to repost my last post as i just saw all the typos, quite funny really. Was on the ipad, mind of its own.

Hello everyone. I think I'll struggle with Christmas a little bit this year because I'm feeling anxious about some health issues. But I'm gonna give it my best shot to lift my own mood and determined not bring down the people around me. Maybe that will be in little simple ways and nothing too spectacular. I hope you all find some joy in Christmas, and that your hearts are lifted. Merry Christmas, whatever that means 🙂

Hi everyone, for those who haven't seen it yet, we've put up a Coping With Christmas resource on the beyondblue website, including some of the great tips that have been shared in this thread. Thanks everyone.

Also, here's David Bowie and Bing Crosby for a bit of easy listenin'

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the Coping with Christmas resource and also the music clip.

Is it possible to have a new clip each day leading up to Christmas please!

Merry Christmas to you and all the people behind the scenes at Beyondblue!

Cheers from Dools
