Have to say I'm a totally lonely f&&$d up cat lady myself....if only we could all be cats and not truly need anyone...just content to be selfish and do our own things, using people when we want to (just like others tend to try and use us...the soft ones who break easily and get abused and used). OK - I'll shut up now.
I think the hardest thing is that everyone thinks that Christmas has to be this Hallmark picture perfect snowy scene of bliss and happiness...blame the movies, blame the cards and stores and all the rest...my MILaw was in tears this morning...(in another country)...sad she couldn't send our kids presents,...when I told her that this isn't what counts...and that the kids aren't that materialistic anyway....they prefer handmade home-made stuff. Who cares about money and perfection? Think thats the biggest problem with society. More people feel lonely and miserable around Christmas than we'll ever know..they just won't admit it. I spend about 2 weeks crying or feeling stupidly miserable over Christmas, only difference is we're alone in another country (our little family), the kids NEED me and I just have to get on with it...no little lonely walks around the lake for me.
Hugs ya' all!!! (if that's not too merry)
