Hello Will19, I feel the same as you, but maybe for different reasons(maybe not). I have 3 children and all I do on these long upcoming days is watch out the window at them playing. I'm quite contented with the dark winter nights as they are inside and I know they are safe. When they come home they have their dinner, and homework will be done and off they go. I think its because, for me, I dont want to converse with the neighbours as I be so tired when I come home from work.My husband is gone to work by 5:30 an I am there all night with them. Plus they dont want to go to bed when they are on their holidays. Sorry for ranting. Theres always a reminder of people who have passed away, you just learn to deal with things better. Best Wishes to you
