Just wondering what everyone does for the holidays. For me it's usually just me, my daughter and her 3 children, all of whom live with me. It's very warm and quiet except for the hour or so when the children unwrap their gifts. This year, more so than most, I cannot seem to get into the swing of things. I've put up the tree, and decorated the house, but I have done no shopping and don't even want to. All I want to do this year is escape it. Get in the car and head somewhere warmer, where no one knows me and I can hide. It used to be so wonderful and easy. There was lots of family and friends to share it with. Aa the years have passed the friends and family have become fewer and fewer, and the season harder and harder to celebrate. This is my first Christmas since the breakup of my 11 year relationship. For him it's perfect I'm sure, he has a new companion to share it with and a bunch of new friends. Am I bitter? YEP. So... what do you think? Run away this year, or buck up?
