[QUOTE="Steely, post: 99661, member: 3301"] WOW Star........your post just blew me away. You get exactly what I was and am feeling.......and even brought to light things I had not thought of. Wow. I am going to re-read your post several times, because it had so many nuggets of truth, so many. Thanks. And thank you guys for all of the other suggestions. I actually think it would be a good idea to form a tradition this year for just my son and I, since there may be many years in the future when it is just us. It is hard because he is a teenager, so I have to find something to do he would enjoy as well. I like the ethnic food thing. I don't know. If it was up to just me I would do little crafty, shopping, adopt-a family stuff............but I am trying to incorporate him into the tradition as well. I might do both my own thing, and one together with him. Maybe the overbearing topic is that I feel like this could possibly be my last holiday season with my parents, and I will not get to spend it with them, and that makes me SAD. Really, really sad. Mortality seems to be very present in my life for the first time. My dad's brother is sick, My dad's uncle just died, and my grandmother just died........reminding me that life is so very short, when I had previously thought that my world was rather invincible.
