The Festive Period – Excitement or Dread?

As the festive season approaches and we are reminded daily in the shops, on television and on the radio that Christmas is just around the corner- what is your reaction to it?

The traditional presentation of Christmas is that of family being together and a time of great happiness. Well…. what if you’re not together as a family? This could be due to marital separation or relationship breakdown. What if you’re not sure whether you’re going to see your children on Christmas Day to open their presents or enjoy a family meal? Some people struggle to watch the adverts on television during the run up to Christmas that advertise childrens’ toys because the pain of them being separated from their children is too great and their visiting arrangements with the children over Christmas are unresolved.

Due to this and many other reasons the Christmas period can be tough and a period of intolerable pressure for many and not least for the children of families affected.
