Dweb, as much as you got holiday humor, and as much I love to see him in the holiday spirit, it's his choice. Lets be realistic here: he's in his 20's, he doesn't have a wife (yet! ;D), so I can understand where he's coming from. Bt I really am sending him a Christmas present though and that should make him happy.
If I did have a family with me, things would be much more upbeat and perky. I'm use to being alone and alienated from a lot of people, though I've been out and about more as of late. I'm sure I'll smile with the gift, but it'll just be a temporary smile to my face. There's no Christmas spirit in me...the kid in me has been long gone for a while now and as it stands, I still see it as just another day.
Hmmm sounds like I'm needed down there! On another note...I'm feeling better but my voice is still gone. I miss singing!
Hey I'm your best friend! It's my job to worry! It's also my job to make sure I do my stuff to keep our friendship/relationship (sorta...) intact.
You shouldn't worry about me. It's just a natural state of being for me. I'm use to this. The only other saving grace would be snowfall, but that hasn't happened in a long time. So, I'll keep myself alive for the day, but it'll just be another meaningless day for me in which I can say, "Time to relax."
I wouldn't say I have the blues. I'm just not someone who would celebrate something because everyone else is doing it. I always look at it as more of a family thing, especially for children. Christmas = presents, snow, and family time Halloween = Costumes, parties, and candies Easter = Bunnies, candy, and (if you're Catholic) Lent Thanksgiving = Turkey/Ham, family gatherings New Years = Fireworks and getting drunk Independence Day = Fireworks and getting drunk in the name of (faux) patriotism.
?38 Often Overlooked Blessings: A good nights sleep An afternoon to do as you please Finally letting go of past anger Finally letting go of regrets A job that provides steady income Hugging your child Trying something new and loving it A wonderful new bookstore A great cup of coffee Watching the sunset Meeting a kindred spirit Having your efforts appreciated Hearing a piece of music that touches your soul Holding hands Laughing so hard you can’t catch your breath Room service Paid bills A nap Bringing joy or comfort to another being The loyal love of a pet The sound of rain Moving on Reading a book that changes your life Letting go gracefully Achieving a long sought after goal The first kiss Saying “no” without guilt Receiving a love letter Hearing “I love you” The warmth of a perfect blanket Bargains at thrift shops Pampering yourself Being the real you Rediscovering old family photos Playing hooky Looking fabulous Happy memories through old songs People who love you through thick and thin
This is absolutely insane. Another few days of this madness. Maybe our immune systems are getting to the best of us.
Ditto. I only celebrate holidays if I have my son with me, because I think it's important for him. If he's not with me, I use it as an occasion to eat pizza, sleep in and watch the Sci-Fi channel.
