On Christmas, my kids will be with their dads, my parents will be away for the winer and my sister will be around. We might go see a movie and then go out to eat if I can afford it, but I don't think I can, so I will likely stay home and watch Lifetime movies alone. Last year was my first Christmas partially alone (after returning home from hanging out with my sister) and it was horrible. I shouldn't care because Hanukkah is out holiday, but since we have always celebrated both, it is lonely to not have my boys home with me.
