Well people as we head into December, 5 days in to be exact, the emotions are beginning to unfold. A tear hear, a sniffle there, soon to be found with full blown sobbing sitting on the closet floor. Why do the holidays bring me so much grief when Christmas for so long was all I looked forward to? In truth, I don't know. Maybe because I don't have a family of my own - no kiddies, no memories of a swollen belly, no milestone jewelry to be unwrapped. The holidays are filled with so much flibbity flab, sometimes I want to run away from home and spend Christmas all alone atop of Mt. Crumpit, well if you consider I and a bottle of Ketel One alone and not a couple, then yes, alone would do nicely.

I hate to be such a Grinch but really, Christmas makes me feel lonely.

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.
It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." ~~ The Grinch

Hey you... the holidays do this to us. I've been divorced for way too long... and my kids are no longer the little ones that wake up too early, and run to see what Santa left.

My Mom has been gone way too long, and Dad half as long... The story of 'The Christmas Carol' rings truer and truer each and every year...

I put up a tree and decorate my house for Memories of Christmases Past... when Mom was everything about the Holiday Season, and for when the ShoesKids were little and so happy!!!

It seems that I spend most of my Christmas season sitting in solitude looking at my Tree and Decorations...

That's not all bad, you know...

I'm sorry you're blue. Over our way we're just stressed - so much family expectation & so little us.

We need to see if we can get Mr. Sixx to drop in for a visit!

There are way too many expectations during the Christmas holidays. Everything has to be just perfect -- perfect home, perfect gifts, perfect decorations, perfect family. The only trouble is, nothing is ever perfect. Dont' feel bad.

Have a glass of rum and eggnog, look at the snow, and remember that just around the corner is spring, and daffodils and tulips. :-)

If you think this is bad how are you going to handle Valentine's Day?

And if you want a baby - have a baby.

It'd be a great kid, Kimmy! :)

I LOVE Christmas! It's guilt free splurging on lovely, expensive presents for myself.

I have a family and still am struggling for some reason this year.

Hang in there.
