ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis Hugs, Fannie. I've had Christmases that looked like they would be grim early on, but I made them wonderful. It may not have turned out like I had "planned", but you know the saying about how to make God laugh, right? Make plans! This year, instead of having Christmas all by myself, I decided to completely change the tradition & make sure that some other single women & I get together for dinner & become a new family for Christmas. Once you get over your disappointment about your plans, perhaps you will think of a way to make this Christmas special. Some times it is the unplanned ones that turn out best. One of my fave Chirstmas was a time when my mom's car had been stolen, we had no money, and very little food. It had started snowing, and my mom who had always been ill, in pain, or both came out and played with us in the snow. It was magical. I didnt care that we ate popcorn for dinner, or that we had no presents. We were together. She loved and cared for us. She kept us together in when things got really tough. That was Christmas to me.
