I have already come to terms with this but I know there are other members out there (if they will come forth) that are going to have a meaningless or sad Christmas. Sometimes it helps to get things off of your chest, as they say.
In my case, my wife and step-daughter are now in Cambodia and will spend (already past) Christmas eve and Christmas at Angkar Wat, once the largest city in the world with over a million people. Although I have been to 64 countries, I have not been there and envy them.
But it goes beyond that, all of my family are Muslim so tonight is just December 24 and tomorrow is just December 25. There are no get togethers planned and Persi will be my companion. Not even Alley sleeps in the bed since Mom is gone.
So who else has a sad Christmas story? I know you are there and want to talk about it if you only will.
BTW there is a trace of snow on the ground and I have lived in Texas for 40 years and do not remember a white Christmas (or should I say December 25th?)
