i hate it, nny brothers wont invite nne over, nny parents are gone, nny friend will invite nne for thanksgiving, but noone ever asks nne over for christnnas, it stinks
I celebrate the birth of Christ at Christmas. I try to enjoy being with family and friends for Thanksgiving. Since I lost my daughter, the holidays are hard for me.
I'm very sorry for your loss!! I know this time of year is extremely difficult for those that have lost loved ones in death. I myself lost my husband, and since the anniversary of his death falls in January, there's a certain momentum mounting till that day comes around i struggle with. I draw comfort from the hope of the resurrection found in the Bible. I hope this scripture also gives you a reason to feel comforted. "And i have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous." (Acts 24:15)

I no longer stress with the baking and the buying and the going to things I don't care about.
I am staying home tomorrow because I haven't been feeling too well. But it's all good. I am very content and grateful for everything that has been given me.
I hope I can make someone smile tomorrow and that will be reward enough.
Yes, celebrate the birth of Jesus. And I admit -- it's all one day at a time, with, also, somehow, a twinge of the melancholy caught perfectly in one of my favorite Christmas songs
-- Dwight Yoakam's "Come On Christmas"
-- the melancholy mood of this song excites me to no end and makes me happy
I saw Yoakam in concert -- I love the guy and his music. And I'm not even a Country music fan in general. But I'm one of his fans.

Oh, my, I think you might give me too much credit, ha! :) But, on the other hand, more and more, I'm aware of how little credit I give myself sometimes.
Have I ever shared that, to me, Patsy Cline has the best singing voice I've heard? She's a woman. Ha! :)
