 Are the Divas OK with the season coming up? Please let us support you if not. I know many people go into a depression with the holiday or winter blahs. |

I too have to admit that it has been tough since I know hubby's family will be having a get together this next weekend. Bil and family are coming up from Phoenix and I won't be able to be there because of J and his girlfriend. The family understands this but I wish they wouldn't be so , what's the word, accepting maybe, of this woman. I know some of them are upset at the situation but won't say anything. Work and friends have been a big help... Darc |

No problems with the holidays here . This year We will be in Florida so we're not spending Christmas with either of our X's, so it ought to be a good one. Even tho I miss the rest of my family, I'll call them and we do stay in touch via the internet. Thankyou for asking  |

Shewolf - I so agree. I really don't have the spirit at all. Financially broke too and so are my kids. I will only buy for the gks this year and it will be minimal. I just want the new year to be here to see if things get a fresh start for all of us. It's been a rough couple of years.......we go up and then we go down. And right now it's way down for all of us. But I try to stay smiling for their sakes. |

I haven't been able to get any Christmas spirit. I took my Mom to the mall yesterday so that she could do some Christmas shopping. Usually, this shopping day will get me in the Christmas mood. NOPE. Didn't happen. It seems like the mall even lacked Christmas spirit this year. They cut waaay back on their usual decorations and the individual stores aren't carrying the amount of Christmas items (ornaments, potpourri, and etc. )that they have in the past. My mother and I always get Claire Burke "O Christmas Tree" potpourri or something in the "O Christmas Tree" line every year because it has such a great Christmassy smell. Not one single store in the mall is carrying Claire Burke this year. BAH HUMBUG!    |

Christmas will be quiet this year as it will jus be the 2 of us and my husband is from Morocco so its not a holiday for him. Christmas is for the lil ones and what i miss most is watching them open up their gifts and seeing all the smiles, laughter and thier Xmas energy! lol Its just not the same now that the kids are grown and gone. But i will be happy once i get my tree up-and wreath on front door. will do that this week. xxx Jean |

I'm having a little bit of a hard time. This has been a bad year for my son. He got in some financial trouble and I have been saving every cent I can to help him out. Gave him eight hundred dollars just last week. My daughters tuition just came up. It isn't a real lot ,$1200.00, because she is attending a community college for her basics. But, it was due yesterday. Kinda hurt the budget. I am recently also having problems with my husband. I've known the man for almost 40 years and just recently he's been doing things that are so out of character. My kids are worried about him. My daughter , as much as she loves him, is very angry with him. I don't really know what to do about him. I'd have to go into it, but I really can't right now. My golden retriever is very old and really having a tough time. I don't expect him to be with us much longer. I am with shewolf and bluebyrd. I just wish the holidays were not right now. Its a bad time. I wish they were over and it was the start of a new year. I'm not complaining. I'm grateful we have our health and home and things we need. Just can't go with the flow and get Christmas spirit this year. I'm seriously considering forgetting about ourselves this Christmas and going down to the local shelter and serving Christmas dinner to needy people. I hear its good for the soul and I believe it could be. Hugs, Karen |

Jean- If you can't be with your grandkids perhaps you could ask them to video tape it and give it to you. At least you could see it all..Hugs! Tell your dh to pretend he celebrates for your sake. Karen- So many things are hitting you right now. Take a deep breath, a walk and try to clear your mind a bit. I hope things work out for the best with you whatever that may be. Hugs! Keeping all of you in my prayers and thoughts. Angelbear |
