Sorry - I was highly triggered on Christmas Day for some reason, and I don't know what I was saying or posting or responding. My T helped me a lot, but it took me forever to find this thread again to apologize.

Sometimes I am okay with religious talk, and other times I'm not. I have a dissociative disorder (DID), so it's hard to figure out what is going on inside me to be triggered.

But I'm glad that @LiteraryLark was able to have her miracle White Christmas! Yay!

The little alters inside me still somewhat believe in Santa. But some alters within are hurt by religious stuff. I think parts of me was responding to the question in the OP than what you said before the question. I don't think they meant it directed at you for your miracle or beliefs. I think it was more along the lines of things that they felt couldn't be spoken, but maybe I can feel safe to say them now since Christmas has passed. I was spiritually abused in the past, but I don't know how or why. I can't remember much, but it's just this strange feeling that I, the main person (not an alter) feels around Christmas. I like Christmas and all the different cultures and celebrations around it. But sometimes I freak out for some reason, and sometimes an alter has an experience that I don't know about. At those times, both my alter and myself freak out, so then I don't know what I'm doing. My T had to help me. I think I had to get grounded somehow, because this wasn't the only thread that freaked me out that day. I then had to shut off my computer. But now I'm okay.

I'm sorry. I'm hoping that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and miracles. I also hope that we all have a wonderful New Year, too! Hopefully 2022 will bring miracles of their own to all of our lives.

((((safe hugs)))) for all.
