hello Jack, there are so many of us who are in exactly the same position as you are and how you feel, I dislike Xmas, hate the Xmas carols, but I think that the way you feel goes much further than just being Xmas time, although I understand that it's a time of the year when there is meant to joy and happiness, but there is also a large proportion of us who literally hate it.
There is a lot of what you have said that means so much, but we can only presume what you have missed out of in all the years that have passed you bye.
Sometimes we just happen to wake up and realise that all our friends are now married and have children, while you are sitting at home and have not achieved any of this, that's the sudden shock that confronts you, but the other side to this is that we could have been married, had children but now lost it all, so unfortunately it can go both ways.
Fortunately that hasn't happened to me, but there would be many people that have suffered from this, but I am really interested in the years gone bye that have made you feel this way, it sounds as though you could write a book for us, so please we hope that you do reply. Geoff.
