It's the Holiday time of year again. Time to run around in a frenzie trying to buy gifts for your loved ones that end up in the bottom of a closet somewhere never to be seen again. Work is busy trying to close out the books and wrap up loose ends before the New Year. And you end up so tired, you really forget what it is supposed to be like this time of year.
That's me. I have bought exactly one gift. Not because I can't, but mostly because I haven't had the desire to go shopping. My tree is up, and my Christmas village is up but nothing else is. My lights outside aren't even up and usually our house is lit up like a airport. But this year, our porch light serves as our decorations.
The kids are excited. We got them elves to come visit and that's fun but I'm not enjoying it as much as I should. I miss my mother. I miss my friends. I'm lonely. Everyone talks about getting together with friends and family and I have neither.
I've lost my Christmas spirit and don't know where to look to find it. I know for sure it's not in a store and I can't buy it.
