Members shared a wide range of feelings about the upcoming holidays, from genuine excitement to quiet dread, reflecting how personal and complex this time of year can be for people living with HIV. Several members described looking forward to family gatherings, cooking big meals, and celebrating birthdays that fall near the holidays, while others opened up about loneliness, grief over lost loved ones, and the emotional weight of past memories. A recurring theme was finding meaning and joy on your own terms, whether through volunteering, decorating, traveling solo, or simply embracing each day with gratitude.

I love when Halloween Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. I start celebrating from now until next year. You gotta live every moment like it was your last. Must be nice to spend it with a love one but even if Iam alone I still enjoy being part of it all😊

No, it is just another time to spend money for no good reason. Although, I like it for the kids.

No. The loss of family members and the loss of my wife make the holidays not to pleasant to look forward to.
