The Holidays are going to be extremely depressing for me. I already can feel it when I walk into a store and see all the decorations.
It is only myself and my mom. No money for gifts. All friends back East. I don't know how I am going to handle it. This isn't the first time I have felt like this. I can't even talk about it. Nikko |

I know just how everyone feels.....I always feel so happy this time of year but this year I just want to pass by the holiday's and not even put up a tree! I also always make sure I have plenty of money to spend on Everyone but this year I only plan to buy for the people that have been a part of my life......the sick life....and I don't feel guilty about not buying for my oldest son, mom, and sisters since they have ignored me all year! Instead of having the big family party I always have at my house I will just have those closest to me over.
I really miss having small children here

Thanks for posting these tips. I don't know how I'll handle this holiday season. It's the first one without my mom. Last year my dad was gone but I had mom and now she's gone too.
