That wasn't so bad. It is your journal and you should use it to vent any time you need to. Don't worry about your readers. Major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, New Years and others are a major downer to a lot of people. I always thought that someone ought to work on a way to get people together who were unable to enjoy such holidays. If someone could come up with the right mechanism, no doubt they would no longer be lonely and depressed about it, but they would also probably make a fortune out of it

~snuggles~ The first step to fixing a problem is by identifying it. I must say that for years, I hated even the thought of Christmas. There are many posts on the past holidays where I talked about how I hate them. I've done better the past few years because I have pinpointed the reasons for dread and I have dealt with them. You have mentioned that you dont like being alone on the holidays and that you are going to have time off at Christmas. First thing to do is decide that you are NOT going to stay locked up in your house for those days. Make a plan now. Plan to do something with your kids! Turn it around and make the holidays special for you by not expecting them to be something they cant be but by making them everything they can be. I hope I was supportive. ~smooches~
