When Loved Ones Won't Be Around For Christmastime

[Road Runner]

How do you guys handle the stress? I'm just curious because right now there's a chance that might be happening to me and I am completely beside myself about it because it just really wouldn't be Christmas to me then.

Won't be there? Scheduling problems, or a more perminant problem?

Just keep Christmas in your heart as you grow older. This song says it all.

Btw I'm thirty-three and I love that song but I really have lost the true meaning of Christmas right now because that's family time.

You must learn to accept that you can't control the world just yourself.

How much do you need?

I'm also 33 and a bachelor but my parents live in close proximity and I spend Christmas with them. It is my favorite time of the year.

If this is the first time a family has been broke consider yourself lucky. Shit happens. Get over it.

It's hard for me to talk about it because I'm afraid that I'll get blamed for it, but right now they're struggling to keep their home. I want to help them out with it I just don't have the money or space here.

Well a bah humbug to you Ebeneezer Scrooge.

There is a time, when you have to step up and take over as the Matriarch of the family. Remember those loved ones how they showed their perseverance in troubled times. It is in our nature, which is why this country was so great for such a long time. Dont lose the toughness that keeps us going. You will be great at it.

I watch "It's a wonderful life" with Jimmy Stewart every Christmas to remind me what life is all about...Dont give up, because we all love you.

Funny how around Christmas, miracles do happen.....Say some prayers and they might get answered.

And I love most of you on here... who aren't American hating libtards that is.

Just realistic. I love Christmas, and some of my kin folk. No bahs or humbugs from me. You might want to stay off my lawn though.

To be quite honest with you even when I'm trying to focus on Jesus right now I'm sort of upset with Him that He's allowing this to happen. I'm more hurt and confused than angry at Him though.

Do you use BBs or pellets?

The years I had to work at Christmas were some of the best. I hate the season and missing out on all the stress and running around on that day is the best gift I could ever ask for. Exchanging gifts with loved ones a week later in a more relaxed intimate setting is the way to go.
