Christmas

Posted by & filed under Other / Canada.

Ah Christ­mas. I wasn’t feel­ing very Christ­massy this year. The tree was dec­o­rated, the presents were bought (some even wrapped), the dona­tions that were sup­posed to make me feel warm and fuzzy were done, the fridge was full of food. But some­thing seemed miss­ing. It’s a fake tree … maybe that’s it. Or maybe it’s because none of my Christ­mas music trans­ferred to my new com­puter and I can’t be both­ered to get more. Or maybe this dull­ness is the rea­son I can’t be both­ered. I felt like some­thing mag­i­cal should be hap­pen­ing. And well, now I am just really really hop­ing that it does. 

There has been a tragedy. And now, because my heart aches, I feel more Christ­massy then ever. I feel an intense need for prayer, for fam­ily, for close­ness. I feel Christ­massy because in my heart if I believe in Christ­mas, if every­one believes in Christ­mas, then I can believe in mir­a­cles. If I believe in Christ­mas then I can believe in pur­pose, I can believe in hope. In light, In the power of love and the giv­ing spirit.

So a heart­felt Merry Christ­mas to every­one. May your day is filled with love, peace and the spirit of Christmas.

    Blueegg I pray for you and you’re fam­ily at this time. May you feel peace know­ing that peo­ple are think­ing and pray­ing for you. I am find­ing this Christ­mas to be a bit chal­leng­ing due to a crazy year or heartache as well. I have found com­fort in this site I guess because of the great peo­ple and it’s some­thing new and keeps me busy search­ing for new con­test God bless you the new year is around the cor­ner. Stay strong

    It is hor­ri­ble that you should feel heartache at this time of year. May you know that even strangers are think­ing about you, and pray­ing for you and your fam­ily. Merry Christmas

    Blueegg I also feel your pain. Three deaths in the last month have made me ques­tion to. BUT, I look at my grand-daughter who’s happy and well, liv­ing with a con­di­tion that will always be life threat­ing and I just have to say Thank You to some­one. Bless you and hop­ing you an have a peace­ful Christmas.

    Ok so you feel sad and so do many, many oth­ers with no one to cel­e­brate with and it’s the tough­est time of the year for many peo­ple.. any­way.. I have had 4 deaths and on Christ­mas day 15 years ago I lost my most pre­cious & fab­u­lous mother, quite unex­pect­edly. she was only 56.. Way too young.. for her many kids 9 of us!! and my beloved dad is gone now as well..

    God Bless him as he hope­fully is with her and my sec­ond hus­band whom died many years ago at Christ­mas.. I had a friend whom just lost her spe­cial friend 3 days ago quite unex­pected from e-colic.. only 50 or there­abouts.. How sad for us all and my third hus­band who told me quite proudly how he wanted to be sin­gle again at Christ­mas, 5 years ago.. Mid life Cri­sis I think he called it so proudly until weeks later when the drink­ing and part­ing had stopped and I was gone back to ON from Florida.

    I know it’s all sad and so unex­pected, but we must move on and be ever so thank­ful fo rwhat we all once had and can never get back.. Although we have all those mem­o­ries bothe good and bad, we can reflect and knowin our heart of hearts things willl get bet­ter never the same so to speak, but bet­ter in many dif­fer­ent ways with new friends and expe­ri­ences.. I’m work­ing all this hol­i­day and am extremely happy, because I still have a job to go to for now.. That for me makes this great .. I remain ever so thank­ful and Happy for this won­der­ful day of reflec­tion, health, cel­e­bra­tion and such awe­some mem­o­ries that no one can take away from me ever.. Be Happy and May God Bless each and every­one of us for whom we still have in our lives and will con­tinue to enjoy each and every day .. Merry Christ­mas to all and to all a great night!!

    Amen Always one very happy and lucky laven­der Rose xox

    I am so sorry you feel that way. I too do not feel christ­masy — so you are not alone. Thoughts are with you and hope you are able to work your way through your per­sonal tragedy.

    Merry Christ­mas & Happy New Year to every­one at SC!

    I feel blessed that our fam­ily is going to alto­gether this year & look­ing for­ward to see­ing every­one! I’ve lost my Dad, Grand­mother & best g/f in the last cou­ple years, & infant niece 12yrs ago & miss them ter­ri­bly & lost my ex-bil last week, but I know they would want us to go on & enjoy our lives to the fullest…I think thats the best way to hon­our their memory…

    Wish­ing you peace, good health in the New Year!
