My sister has had a pretty tough year, and I think she's finding the festive season a bit overwhelming. She hasn't wanted to get involved with any of the usual things she enjoys this time of year, like decorating the house with lights. I'm nervous that tomorrow on Christmas Day, she'll be really down. How can I cheer her up, given that the normal "festive" things she likes are just depressing her?

Maybe someone she was hoping to see cant make it this x-mas. HaPPy HoLiDaYS! TRiXXie! [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

Shortie8959 answered Friday December 24 2004, 12:41 pm: Tell her it's almost Christmas, and she she shouldn't be so sad this time of year. Tell her to try to be happy. Then do something nice for her, like make her lunch or something! Good luck to you and your sister!
Hope I helped!
Happy Holidays!

Karen answered Friday December 24 2004, 12:30 pm: Why don't you try talking to her! Maybe she needs someone to talk to, since she's not feeling like herself! Just comfort her and let her know that you'll always be there for her, when ever she needs someone to talk to! Hope I helped :)
