[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 612387, member: 15910"] It's dark here today too. Been like twilight all day long. Can I be half and half? I love Christmas; dislike Thanksgiving. My extended family is thousands of miles away, and I can't afford to visit during both holidays, so choose Christmas since the kids have more time off from school then for an extended visit. I love getting together with my fam; it's the only time I feel safe, secure and completely loved. Cooking and baking is a joy and not a chore because of the camaraderie and visiting and we have a lot of traditions! Thanksgiving for us is kind of meh, DF has no family close by either and we only get his son every other year (and it was that way with my kids too, until their dad died) Nobody likes the traditional foods except myself and DF; I spend all day cooking for a 10 minute meal. DF spends the day watching football; I'd like to but the kids are bored all day & won't let me watch. I think I'd actually really enjoy volunteering to serve meals somewhere on thanksgiving; my social anxiety prevents me from this so far. Hopefully the Zoloft I've recently started taking will help with-that. [/QUOTE]
