[QUOTE="VLong, post: 104594, member: 3458"] Star, I sure wish The Island of Misfit Toys and my house were closer, just so I could come over and give you a bunch of much needed hugs!! Ya know, I've been feeling all out of sorts this year regarding Christmas. I'm sure that it has to do with Travis being killed in our front yard and one of my sales reps committing suicide 3 weeks ago (ya think?!) Anyway, what I am not so eloquently saying is I completley agree with you about canceling Christmas. My husband, as much as I love him, has never really been a Christmas kind of guy. But I do understand, because he feels the true meaning of Christmas is so lost these days and it is. Which is why, I too, get so much pleasure from the card giving. Maybe canceling Christmas is a good thing for you this year. It's only "a day" and I am going to try and do something to celebrate everyday, not just one day. Even if it is something so trivial as buying a chocolate bar and inhaling it without guilt, or laughing more, crying more...oh I don't really know where this is going, but I just wanted you to know I care. Stardude will see the light some day. I truly believe that. And it will be on his terms. Also, if you didn't try and help with the job it just wouldn't be who you are. You have mastered detachment so much better than I ever could, but you are still his mom and you love him. Hang in there and Merry Christmas, my friend...we will get through it! [/QUOTE]
