I was wondering how everyone is feeling about Christmas (or winter holidays) coming?

My mother died right after Thanksgiving in 1976 and my aunt died right after Christmas in 2008.

The Christmas after my mother passed away, my aunt stopped loving me. She did not want a child.

I am sharing this because many of us have triggers during holidays, esp Christmastime.

I love Christmas; don't get me wrong.

Love lights, music, festivity, food. MMMM.

But I also have such sadness too.

Pain.

Anxiety.

etc.

anyone?

This thread is for anyone dealing with holiday issues.

(mods, you may move this if need be)
