Depression, good spirits
part of Christmas season
Holiday blues common, can be overcome
By Stacy Mark
Reporter
Does the yuletide season leave
you feeling ho-hum instead of ho-
ho?
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. It’s not the amounh:| the Cov
money one spends, it's thethoiid i®fc Iron
that counts.
• Don't expect Christmas tol
perfect. If one expectseveryonen
act the way they should, theyprd
ably won’t.
• People should be nice i
themselves. They should feelgodj
about what they can accompl
and not go overboard tryingtoik
something they can’t.

I “The
Visitors bring Christmas cheer to elderly
By Kelli Jo Day
Reporter
“Snuggs” sits in a large room in
the company of a Christmas tree
loaded with handmade bits of fes
tivity.
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

Lawmaker warns Valley employee
not to fire undocumented worker
HARLINGEN (AP) — U.S. Rep.
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. Roman Corp., said tk
aliens often fill positions tin
citizens don’t want.
“We’ve had incidents when/

Congressman says he ma

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.
Patrolman Ricard Valdez said,
