It seems that there are many sad people on the forums of late. A lot of hurt feelings. But it seems around this time of year our expectations to be happy become to much for ourselves and we end up being the opposite and sad. So any one who is feeling sad and alone i hope Christmas passes quickly for you and the new year brings a brighter future.

thank you... I needed your kind words... much appretiated (more than you know )

I've been wondering about the same thing, and I think you may be onto something here...

Life can be hard at any time around this time it allways seems worst. When every one is talking about being with their family/friends. If you alone it kind of rubs salt in the wound

yes its hard very hard no matter how you hide it always comes out in some kind of manner. I know its tough this year for me. I lost my mom last year in April ,Christmas just not the same. thank you for this post.

Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed.

The first birthday and christmas is always the hardest. For those of us who have lost loved ones in the past we do understand this.

thank you for this post. i think everybody feels a little sadness especially at this time of year, for many different reasons. i'm glad we have this forum so we can express our feelings & find others who understand.

how about a for all

Aww what a lovely thing to say Mair

I met a big issue seler yesterday trying to raise some money so he'd have some where to stay. Took him for cofee and a bacon sarnie. Then before i left i gave him a hug and he started to cry said i was the first person in 5 yrs to hug him. Just started me thinking about about people on their own and how hard it is this time of year.

Christmas is a time to rejoice.It's CHRIST...MAS,CHRIST'S birthday.CHRISTMAS is not about me,it's about celebrating CHRIST'S birthday.With all the commercialism,I THINK PEOPLE FORGET the true meaning of Christmas.Sure,I feel bad for all the people who are alone at Christmas,but I WONDER sometimes how Jesus must feel...SINCE IT IS HIS BIRTHDAY.Millions of people get all stressed and buy gifts,open gifts,and celebrate at their homes....and everybody forgets Jesus.

It's sort of like it being your birthday and on your birthday, everybody is opening gifts,there's none for you,and nobody even thinks about you as you're looking in from outside the window.

How would you feel?

MERRY CHRISTMAS.....LET'S GET BACK TO THE REAL DEAL.

Well all want the Norman Rockwell postcard. All the imagery in the media tells us how happy we're supposed to be. Happy, happy, joy, joy. It's a wonderful life. Pass me another teddy bear please.

Of course, it's not the reality for all. The best thing, for me, is to try very hard to "get out of myself," if you will. I have much to be grateful for. Keeping the focus on what Christmas truly represents helps.

We all want...damn. More coffee....

ANY CROISSANTS left?

I'm dying for a TIM HORTON'S buttery croissant.lol

Man, that sounds pretty good. I wish we had a Tim Horton's around here. I bet Starbucks would charge $20 for something like that, and an extra $1.50 for the butter.

if you have an extra cup...I will take one...that way I don't have to get up from my warm blankey to make some...it is really cold this morning...

Winter months is a hard time of year for many

....are bodies lack carotenes,and are B12 tends to become lower,in some cases causing S.A.D,the lack of light causes for weight gain,a craving of carbrohidtrades,lack of sleep,depression are those most common.

Add this with the holiday,and for many missing what once was and it can make for a sad time of year.

A little push can sometimes take us far,that and a good frame of mind.

Expectations tend to be high therefore causing many to be disapointed.

For me,just sharing a meal with a few of the ones I love is far more then I could ask for.

Season's Greetings to all......

Thanks Pilipala....

I have the 4 most important things already,my boy's and I do not have to work xmas eve.
