I love Christmas so much. I love the decorations, the songs etc. The whole gift thing isn't a big deal with our family, not a lot of gifts just get togethers. I love seeing Christmas again through my daughter. That is what is meaningful to me now.
Hi V: Thanks for understanding. I always say Happy Birthday to my brother with a smile. This year, just lost mom on the 10th, I will celebrate anyway remembering how she used to decorate with care for us and how she made Christmas special. I will remember all the specialties she cooked, baked, etc. and I will thank her for everything she taught me about sharing at holiday time.
I can empathize as I lost someone very close to me this year. I imagine it's especially hard with memories of celebrating birthdays as well as the holidays.
How do you plan to remember and honour them at this time of year?
Hi: After writing about the tradition I realized what I would really like for Christmas.
I would like to see my family members who have died. My mother's b'day was Dec. 23rd and my brother was Dec. 25th. It's going to be sad this year. It would be nice to see all of us together. ah well, can't have everything.
I would love to see my family for Christmas..We all live in different parts of the country so this is not possible..I enjoy picking them each out a special card for Christmas with a gift tucked inside..then of to the post office I go..I so appreciate the postal service and all that they do this time of year..Now that job would put me in a panic..
Red...
p.s. oh ya! Santa I sure would like a new robe this year..
I'm more into the spirtiual side of Christmas. Although I do get a hankering for wanting to give a little more..which is touchy for a caregiver...but it's different outside of the family
I have spent the last dozen Christmases alone and it seems it has become a habit. I don't want anything for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed. I'm a cripple and don't want the commercialism of trying to get around the stores looking for the perfect gift. Why can't I celebrate what it is rather than what it has to be. (according to who)
