[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 108519, member: 3704"] I think that Christmas is hard for almost everyone I know.Still, I can't bear to part with it! I can definitely identify with Marci Mac. The year that I was 13 my brother died and the rug was pulled out from under my family. My parents ended up splitting up and there was really no Christmas for us that year - not the usual tree and holiday dinner. I got a dictionary for my Christmas gift. Don't get me wrong, I did use and appreciate the dictionary - but after my Christmases of years past it all just seemed so cold and lonely. This wasn't really about things, it was about people and the brokeness of our family. I have celebrated Christmas the best way I could every year since that year. Although we have had disappointing times with our boys some years, Christmas is always, always special. No dictionaries [img]:smile:[/img] , a tree, a dinner, Christmas music (even though the boys think it's cheesy and rag me about it), and plenty of togetherness. I think it's the small things and the traditions that are important to us all. [/QUOTE]
