Re: The C word

celebrating Christmas is an individual thing. This year our family will be one less......my brother having died earlier in the year. I think about his wife and family(they had only been married for a year - though they had been an item for a lot longer). How are they going to feel during the festive season...pretty rubbish I am sure.
My Ma has been very shaky(healthwise) this year.......so I am thankful that I still have her to think about.
We really have to be thankful for what we have....and I think that sometimes we forget our fortune. A roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, friends and family who, though we might fall out with, we would miss if they were not there.

Christmas needs to be looked at with some perspective, and while you may suffer it, rather than enjoy it....it will pass.
A month from now it will be gone
