When Christmas is just another terrible day
“This time last year I was a broken-down person. I used to feel like a shell. Looking back, that’s from being on the streets,” shares one Simon service user.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, according to that Christmas playlist staple. “It’s the hap-happiest season of all”. But for men and women experiencing homelessness, Christmas can feel like just another day of struggle, isolation, and survival.
