I remember my first thanksgiving away from home, I was very sad, although I had summer, i felt alone. i feel lucky that i can still go home for christmas, but i really dread the first year that i dont get to. i agree with you, holidays are about family to me, nothing more.

An overwhelming time of year for so many people. My solution, I would spend the day at a homeless shelter, helping with Christmas lunch and visiting with the guests. Now, there is a way to put things into prospective. And SO MANY VOLUNTEERS came out, some had to be turned away. THese were magical, in spite of the sadness there was a true joy to be sharing the day with people who were just happy to have a place to be warm and get a good meal. And really, isn't giving back (not giving a bunch of commercial junk!!!) what Christmas is suppose to be all about?
