We have a saying in our family...
... that it's not Christmas until someone cries...
Well...
Merry Christmas...

And I thought I had the smallest tree! You got me beat with this picture..haha.
ReplyDeleteIt's Christmas!
ReplyDelete*Kicks little brother in the balls*
YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!
Wow, and I thought *MY* traditions were odd. To each their own...
this feeling is why "river" will always be one of my favorite christmas songs.
ReplyDeletecheers, even through tears, to you.
Ouch! Here's hoping for a painless and very happy holiday this year.
ReplyDeleteThe hell!!!!!????? I posted about my Charlie Brown tree recently and how it was my "cry" gift. There was more to the post but WOW! Great minds thinks alike. The picture below it was not lost on me either thought. It is how I have been feeling for about a month and a half now. Sad and lonely.

I think u might need to give urself a present. Seriously, think about rescuing a dog. Never will u feel alone. Buttons and Patches bring me such joy. I never feel alone. Seriously, think about it. There is a lot I could be blue about I will not bore u with the details but when u have another breathing creature that depends on u that is a wonderful feeling. Hope things turn around for u.

ReplyDeleteyep...... i so get that! I got my cry in already. It was a good cry. I was putting out the few decorations I now use. One is a framed poem that my son wrote when he was 12. The other is a windup santa that plays something christmassy and makes me cry - every time.
ReplyDeleteI don't do the holidays well. Never have. I remember being so disappointed by christmas as a child. One year I wanted a drum set and I got it but it was a set for a 4 year old and I was 13. The following year I got luggage. Nothing says "I don't like you" like luggage.
anyway... today, I did all the shopping I'm going to do. I bought 4 tickets to VooDoo fest 2012 - they are more than half off. I'm gifting one to daughter, one to boyfriend of daughter under the conditions that he gives it to the next boyfriend in line should their courtship end, and one to husband. Now... I suggest you do the same. I'll send you the link. GO DO IT. DO IT NOW... and I'll see you in NOLA Halloween weekend (Halloween rules, Christmas blows)
I'm there with you. I can't get the "bah" out of my "humbug" and I quit caring a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSomething about this year has me feeling a little ... not right. And my emotions are all tender and escaping.
bah humbug.
I like your tree though.
xoxoxo

Thanks, everyone...
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas... the holiday season. I SO love it. I do miss my parents so, especially this time of year.
There have been a series of events that have happened since November, and the largest concerns someone close to me that has drug issues... and probably needs rehab... and I am so not sure how to go about approaching this.
This may be the most difficult thing I have ever had to face.
If any of you have advice for this kind of problem, I would most certainly love to hear it.
Merry Christmas...

Yep...sounds like Christmas Eve with my in-laws.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have never been selfish with receiving gifts but enjoy time spent with family and friends. So I always enjoy the holidays of October, November and December.
ReplyDeleteKeep the door open and let ur loved one know that u love them. I think encouraging for rehab and counseling is best. I hear setbacks are common so I think it is a lifelong process. I guess that they know u love them no matter what is most important. I hope things work out. Most important take care of urself so u can be there for them. A vacation to ur spiritual place would be an excellent place to start. I, myself, started a two week vacation two days ago and feel very rejuvenated already. StormyDawn
I cry all the time - even when its not Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWishing all the best, Shoesie!
ReplyDeleteUse your best instincts, Shoes. You'll find the way to deal with it. I hope that the New Year will bring you better days.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't have a Merry Christmas at least try for a peaceful one.
Oh Shoes, I miss my mom this time of year too. It's hard celebrating the holidays when your loved ones are go. My final post for 2011 is up and towards the end there is a special message for my blogger friends. If you get a chance, do stop by.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Shoes and may your wishes come true.
'There have been a series of events that have happened since November, and the largest concerns someone close to me that has drug issues... and probably needs rehab... and I am so not sure how to go about approaching this.' Shoes, I don't think there's a lot more you can do but to be there whenever you're needed. People on drugs usually have a different mind-set, making advice giving a pretty useless thing to do. You sound like a pretty strong guy. You'll know what to do.
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas was a little sad for us, because I think it will be my Moms last one....But we were all together and had a good time! On the rehab issue...my nephew; we forced, coereced him into rehab and he made it, today he is drug and alcohol free and you can tell that is a lifelong commitment. My brother; not so lucky...he wouldn't ever admit his addiction and ended up committing suicide. And I still regret that I let him convince me that he was ok. So, the message is: Don't hesitate, don't feel bad about hurting his/her feelings, don't be scared, don't put it off...do whatever it takes. It will be the biggest gift you can offer someone you care for. Wishing you a peaceful and joyful season.

ReplyDeleteYou just can't catch a break, can you sweetie? This was a tough Christmas at our house too. Different reasons but I feel ya.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to wish you the best of luck in 2012. (Hope you didn't watch the movie...) Bottoms up, Shoes! May it be a better year. I mean, at least that, right?
