Thinking of good times with them and missing them so much around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Always miss them, just gets much worse during the holidays.

I always feel a little down around the holidays because of this...I have heard that it is very common.

No, because i'm not overly sentimental and maudlin.

The holidays definitely marks the passage of time. It feels like time is actually passing, maybe because of so many events with people we are close to. When someone is missing, it reminds us of mortality.

I hate the holidays not because of the loved ones lost, but because of the loved ones I have to deal with over the Holidays

This. My mother passed the day after Christmas in 2000. The only time it really hits me is around the holidays.

I do. My mom’s favorite time of year was Thanksgiving to Christmas. She loved the cooking, decorating, shopping, all of it. I miss her so much this time of year.

Dead ones are bad, but estranged ones are so much worse

My mom's dad died NYE when she was I think 5 ... my dad's dad died of a massive heart attack with hunting with my dad in a duck blind about 4 days before Christmas (I was 7).

I knew one but not the other. Christmas time has a cloud over it.

All my dead relatives were white, no funk among them.

I will be in a funk if George Clinton passes before me.

Albeit incorrectly referenced, simply by association I’m now in a funky mood.

Nope, I do however dislike holidaze other than Easter. They, the commercialization of all the "holidays" pisses me off.
