My Dad worked for the goverment so usually had to work Holidays. Hubby works for an airline, so he has to work Holidays. I don't come from a big family, so we don't have the 'big Holiday get-togethers'. Most Holidays I'm at home alone anyway, so its nice to have people to talk to online.

i went to midnight mass and it was nice. The homily was really beautiful...all about Christmas being about God coming through man to bring us back to God. I wasnt the only person by herself so that was good. And they had a guest singer do Ave Maria. Can't beat that! Anyways, I'm feeling a little better now. Thanks for listening everyone! I hope you had a nice, quiet, peaceful evening!

Yep. My father passed away rather suddenly the day before Christmas Eve, so I am anxious for the season to be over. Sad one this year.

I'm so sorry for your loss!! It must be difficult to deal with the holidays so soon after such a terrible loss. My prayers are with you.


To the OP, I understand exactly what you are talking about. I'm getting better about it, but I used to really get depressed and angry every Christmas season (though December is my favorite month because of my birthday). I live with the same feelings you do: Why don't men want me? Why do I get passed over by every man? Etc etc.

I'm still struggling with it, honestly. I had a guy friend just stop calling me on 12/23 so my heart is a little raw right now. Anyway, I just want you to know that you aren't alone.

Well I did get married and he turned out to be a real violent rotter! Eventually left me for a woman half his age who dominated him quite a bit so I had the last laugh!
Xmas brings back such bad memmories of him coming home drunk and we all having to tiptoe round so not to upset him. Usually go over to my daughters in Ireland over the holidays but with the weather problems was unable to go and was dreading the Xmas day etc. and got quite depressed. However, all done with for another year, thankgoodness.

I, too, was so desperate to get married again as having had a very bad younger life I just felt I deserved some proper happiness but it was not to be. I have come to terms with it now and enjoy my life despite now being disabled and having quite a painful back problem.

As for the xmas celebrations I usually spend a fair bit on my sister and her husband and my brother and his wife but the tat that they give to me I wouldn't give to a stranger! Have decided this year is the last time and will cry off the present giving from now on.

Will soon be the start of the new year and I would like to wish everyone a happy and peaceful one!
