Christmas

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

    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!
