Last year, around Christmas time, I posted a simple message to my Facebook friends. ”My Christmas wish: that our lives are as great as we make them out to be on Facebook.” It was intended to be tongue in cheek but the responses went deeper than I would’ve imagined and gave me pause about the effects of Facebook on self-esteem.
