Do you feel like serving leftover Spam for Christmas dinner? If so, then you may be suffering from a condition known as the Christmas blues. A College Station psychologist, Dr. James Hyden, says that feeling depressed during the holidays is fairly common. Holiday depression, he says, is situational; it occurs on a regularly scheduled basis. “It’s like feeling sad on the anni versary of your grandmother’s death,” Hyden says. Hyden says the Christmas blues affects adults for many reasons. “As kids, Christmas is a magical time,” he says. “And if you were fortunate you got the things yon wanted. As adults, the magic might not exist anymore, and you wish it did. It all has to do with ex pectations.” High expectations of Christmas usually go unfulfilled, Hyden says. “If you compare the pleasant memories you had (during child hood) with the unhappy ones you might have now, it makes life very depressing,” he says. Holiday depression also occurs when a person wants a family gathering that never materializes, Hyden says. This, he says, grows out of people’s need to have a per fect Christmas. Because Christmas has become materialistic, lack of money is an other cause of depression, lie says. People who go into debt to buy presents often are left in a de pressed state, he says. “A lot of people channel their fi nancial energy into buying gif ts,” ‘‘Christinas is a magical time. . . . As adults, the magic might not exist anymore, and yon w ish it did. ” — Psychologist fames Hyden Hyden says, "and then they can’t afford counseling at a time when they need it. it’s sort of a double whammy.” Christmas is too built-up by the media, Hyden says, which makes the holiday hard to live up to. He compared this to a movie that re ceives only rave reviews, hut once seen, it never quite matches its lofty praise. Depression also is linked tigue, Hyden says. Meal pr« tions, decorating and sho can turn Christmas into a fre to fa- •jxira- pping chores, making it a “workinghol: da y” Each individual must deahiill die Christmas blues onasepaniJ basis, Hyden says, and akhou/t general advice is dangerous, kj recommends these guidelines s cope with holiday depression: • Attempt to slow down dun,J the holidays. Even though ifel C ihi istmas season is fast-paced,i K) stay out of the fast lane. team w • Keep in mind what Chrisinel when t is all about.

Of the chairs .that surround him, most are empty. Those that aren’t, are occupied by ladies in va rious stages of sleep. But Snuggs is not asleep — his blue eyes are electrically alert. He smiles at the reporter and says all he wants for Cnristmas is his two front teeth. nator for the Leisure I-odge Nurs ing Center in Bryan, says that around Christmas, people ask. “What can we do?” Merrill says her yuletide social calendar for the home is overflow ing. R.E. Snuggs isn’t a 7-year-old waiting on Santa Claus. He is an 87-year-old waiting for Santa in Room 7 of the Brazos Valley Geri atric Center in College Station. A big Aggie fan and former chemistry professor at A&M, Snuggs says what he really wants for Christmas is Aggie pocket cal endars to give to the other four Aggies at the home. More than 500 other patients like Snuggs are waiting for Christmas in total-care nursing homes in the Bryan-College Sta tion area. Local authorities say there’s something about the meaning of the season that makes people want to get involved and give something of themselves to those considered less fortunate. Randy Merrill, activities coordi- “We have a bell choir tomorrow night and this afternoon the kids from Kinder-Care came to help decorate the Christmas tree,” she says, reading from a seemingly endless list that includes church, college and youth groups. Sherrie Slum, the social and ac tivity director of the Sherwood Health Care Facility in Bryan, says from early Decembei through Dec. 23, the residents see three or four groups a day. They come in Brownie uni forms, Cub Scout packs and church choir finery, Shutt says, bringing fruit baskets, handmade gifts and baked goods. The residents love the attention, she says, especially from the young children who perform Christmas carols. Besides mass visits from “bear ers of good cheer,” local nursing home staffs coordinate a little fes tivity for the residents. At the geriatric center, residents look forward to their annual Christmas party almost as much as they do bingo nights, Bette Jack- son, the center’s social activity coordinator, says. The party will be Dec. 23 tl year, she says, when the residtr will en joy a Christmas dinner,n its f rom their families and ara f rom Santa Claus. Jackson says this party wi: unique because she plans topi Santa Claus. “We had a Santa Clausonili staff,” she says. “He wasourte fk*r, but he no longer worksheri so I guess 1 11 lx* Santa this year At the Sherwood home, lir halls already are decked, Ste says.

Solomon Ortiz warned Rio Grande Valley employers Monday not to fire undocumented workers, although it is now illegal to knowingly hire ille gal aliens. “If they (employers) are violating the law, we want to give them time to get their house in order,” Ortiz, D- Corpus Christi, said. Ortiz spoke during a seminar with the U.S. Border Patrol and the Im migration and Naturalization Serv ice to explain employer sanctions in the new immigration reform bill. The session was the first of its kind to be conducted in the South, Ortiz said. Under legislation signed into law Nov. 6 by President Reagan, em ployers face civil penalties ranging from $250 to $ 10,000 for each illegal alien hired. According to the measure, an ed ucation period is in effect for the first six months of the bill’s enact ment. For 12 months beginning May 1, first-time offenders will be cited but not fined. At the end of the warning period, sanctions will be in full effect. Employers do not face sanctions for undocumented workers whom they had hired before Nov. 6. How ever, those workers still could face deportation, David Ayala, attorney for the Harlingen district office of the INS, said. “One thing we don’t want to do is get in a situation where we prevent industry and keep new jobs from coming into the Valley, where God knows unemployment is high,” Ortiz told about 60 Rio Grande Valley em ployers. Ortiz heard from South Texas shrimpers who warned that their in dustry could be devastated by the new legislation. Tony Reisinger, marine extension agent for Cameron County, said much of the shrimping industry in the Brownsville-Port Isabel area could be hurt as it depends heavily on illegal aliens. Skilled labor would have to he found to replace the 30 percent to 40 percent of the shrimping indus try work force that is undocu mented, Reisinger said. Shrimping puts $150 million a year into the Cameron County econ omy and is the largest segment of the Texas fishing industn, singer said. Henrie Gutierrez, owner : Capt.

Congressman says he ma shake hands with man he SAN ANTONIO (AP) — U.S. Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez said Mon day he would shake hands with a man he punched if the other man admitted to provoking the alterca tion by calling the veteran congress man a communist. Gonzalez’s friends gathered at the same restaurant where the incident took place earlier this month and paid tribute to the congressman as a “freedom fighter” who stood up for his rights. Earlier in the day at the same res taurant, Bill Allen told reporters that Gonzalez owed his constituency an apology for hitting him. “I don’t want anything done to him, really,” Allen said. “I just think he owes the people who elected him an apology. That’s not actions be coming of a grown man who’s sup posed to represent law and order in this country.” Allen, 40, then went to a police station, talked with detectives and filed a formal assault complaint.
