Ok, so this won't be a fancy hypnosis exercise but take a moment and remember a Christmas past that was emotionally positive for you... If you don't have one, pick a time that was better than other Christmas pasts. If you still can't access a good memory, use your imagination to come up with what would be a positive Christmas experience for you.

Hold that memory for 5 slow breaths and try to FEEL it in as much detail as possible. You can "tune" it up a bit if you want to by using your imagination to add more color or more detail or making sounds louder and brighter.

Practice this several times a day. When you feel down/blue/depressed/anxious/worried/fearful/angry or any other negative emotion, go back to this positive Christmas memory and again hold it for 5 slow breaths. Repeat as often as needed to increase your experience of Christmas present.
