I dedicate this post to all people everywhere who would be happy to skip the holidays, who feel the holiday blues, who have arrived at this time of year again, only to hunker down and get through it. I feel your pain.
Nothing bad ever happened to me at Christmas time. I had an intact family, plenty of food and plenty of stuff. I went to church, had plenty of friends, always enjoyed my presents and so forth. So my holiday blues are not logical, but they are real, and I GET IT.
So I just want to use this space to say to all of you who are suffering right now that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And IT'S OKAY not to feel perky cheery haphaphappy this time of year. It really is. You will get through it, we will get through it and everything will be okay. The earth will keep revolving, the sun and the moon will do their thing, mountains will still be high and rivers low, people will be people, and it will all be okay.
DONA NOBIS PACEM. Peace peace peace.
