[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 491147, member: 1550"] Wow. I was afraid to admit how lonely I feel at Christmas, but I guess it's ok. When I hear about big family get togethers I just want to cry. There is nobody but the four of us. There is nothing that makes the day special. My grandson is in Missouri. My sister and oldest daughter are in Illinois. My father is 87 and in Illinois. My mother is dead. My friends are all involved with their own families. I have a tendency to be depressed, even on my medications, and I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy. I wish we could afford to go on a fun vacation for the weekend to distinguish the holiday from just any other day, but we don't have the funds. Hound Dog, you have a great attitude, even with the sadness and loss you have suffered. It gave me some strength and made me feel like a big baby too. And it's true that people do both good and bad things...can't always focus on the bad. I tend to do that. We did give a few toys to Toys 4 Tots this year and usually give a dollar to the Salvation Army bell ringers. Nobody else in my family is depressed by the holiday. I have to try to get over it. Bah humbug :) But, really, it's NOT funny. [/QUOTE]
