:(
Everything sets me off.
I don't spend much time in the shops as I get so sad seeing people running around, overspending, pushing, shoving.
I always think of how many kids won't have anything under their tree because there is no money. :(
And then there are those commercials on the tv...I just saw one from Iams, the petfood. It has this woman that just adopted a dog and she is trying to teach him how to play fetch and he just doesn't get it. She gives up and lays on the floor. Then you see the dog come over and put the ball on the floor next to her.
That breaks my heart too because there are so many animals out there without homes. :(
People can't afford to pay the oil bill to heat their home and people are trampling a man to death at the local store.
:(
If you see me this season, please wave, say hello, maybe give me a hug.

Why don't people say hello to each other anymore?
Or wave?
I really do love the holidays.
I just get overwhelmed by the feeling that so many go without or are without those they love.

Humanity goes out the window when it comes to Christmas shopping.

i know what you're saying, though.....i can't get that walmart worker that was killed this morning out of my mind....why have people's priorities become so far out of whack?
A lot's changed since then, and things can only get better, right?

the nothing ventured - the nothing feigned
I understand what u mean.I think when your a kid its hard to see the ugly side of the holidays...when you grow up its hard not to notice it
Happy Holidays Trix
that's the main reason i try to do all my shopping online or at local small shops, i can't stand the feeling at the malls....it's like how i feel at a casino, that air of desperation or something. i want the holidays to be what i make it for myself, let the freaks fuck it up for themselves.
it's a tricky thing, staying empathetic to people, keeping perspective that there *are* good people out there, and yet not have complete contempt for humanity, all at the same time.
so keep your chin up girl, and a big hug for you
I really miss that fucking hat.

You're not alone. I'm a very senstive person. I cry alot too. Stuff that hurts, stuff that get's me pretty emotional. It's tough. I'm 30, I know. But that's who I am. I get sad alot on stuff like this. Like i've been in tears loosing a friend I would die for to talk to again. But that won't happen ever again. :(
I've been saving up this holiday season to help kids on the street, hot meals for the soup kitchen, help animal shelter etc.. I donate & help out charities the whole year around, but this time of season, is where things get intense. People spending money, money, money on themselves. Just a few pockets of change, could be sweet to pass down to those kids standing in the cold next the shopping stores looking for help. pass down a can or hot fresh meal. it's feels good in your heart to help other's out.
I might of fucked up many times in my life, but I know where my heart is. And nobody can take that away from me. I'll keep fighting & fighting to get better, just it's gonna take more time.
Happy Holidays TrixieCat!
Same to you.
chiqui's etsy shop is where I will be doing some shopping.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Happy Holidays to you too!
There is a Japanese steak house/sushi joint in downtown Halifax, right on the waterfront that is really lovely.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

damn...I had forgotten about the commercial.
Now I am sad again.
How beautiful is that commercial? That happened when I first adopted my dog Larry. And the first time he fetched for me, I cried.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
lol...i was just kidding about crying. the jeagler kids a lot. but yea, that commercial tugs at the hearstrings a lil. i immediately took the pooch to the dog park after seeing it actually.
by the way, larry is a great name for a dog. i like it
:cool:
especially when the trixiecat is pouring out her heart.
the jeagler is no charlie brown.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
the jeagler didnt mean no harm. i really did like that commerical though.
have a happy festivus trixie cat
I live in a neighborhood surrounded by homeless people and the busiest food bank in the state.
Yesterday, I was taking my dogs out and there were people handing out new sleeping bags to the homeless and another agency was serving food, the sun was shining and there were many smiles on many faces. It was nice to see.
A few hours later, I was outside again, but the food service was done, the sleeping bag van gone, clouds were rolling in with a cold breeze, rain was imminent and many of the homeless were scattering alone along different paths up the hill looking defeated. It made me sad. :(
Today, the food bank is handing out much larger than normal food bags and people seem happy again. I was glad to see that, but it is still humbling.

Thank you for letting me know I am not crazy.
I mean, clinically I am probably, but you know what I mean.
