Am I the only one that cries this much during the holidays?

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

    There is a Japanese steak house/sushi joint in downtown Halifax, right on the waterfront that is really lovely.

    thanks Trixie! :)

    One of the awesome things about Halifax is you have clean public restrooms!

    I don't want to bring up any sad memories for people...I am sorry crojam. :(
    Why don't people say hello to each other anymore? :o
    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.
    I know what you mean Trixie...but the holidays also brings out a lot of the good and the humanity in people. The domestic violence agency I worked for has a large shelter and transitional housing program and during the holidays we were overwhelmed with requests from people in the community wanting to "adopt" the families in our program for the holidays. The amount of gifts and food they donated was outrageous! We had to turn people away - and then they would offer to pay a utility bill or help with a rent payment. Many did so anonymously. They'd donate Christmas trees and decorations, invite the families to holiday parties, etc. Entire families did this and the kids would get so excited about buying stuff for other kids. The moms in the programs would never put anything on their wishlists for themselves cause they just wanted their kids to be taken care of, so we'd have to sneak to find out their sizes and the things they liked because the people donating would insist on buying things for the moms too. It definitely made the holidays a whole lot brighter to see that. It would be nice if people thought about these things throughout the year.

    It is just so amplified during the holidays for me.
    When does Tim go back to Oz?
    I am thinking me, you, spa.

    I know - the holiday amplifies everything - good and bad. He'll be here from 12/5 (FRIDAY!!!! :D) till the end of January. The spa sounds fabulous! :)

    I am so happy you and Tim are going to have that much time together.
    Happy days.
    I just put up 3 little trees at the end of the driveway with little lights on them.
    Christmas lights make me happy.

    Im sort of the same way too, but I dont let it bother me of course. Like those stupid "wildest things caught on tape" shows. You see a fucking dude getting hit or run over by a car and the host acts like its funny. That sickens me.

    A couple of Christmas' ago I worked the holidays on a childrens cancer ward. We asked for public donations of gifts for the less privileged kids who couldn't go home for the holidays. We had mountains of stuff delivered. Everything from games consoles and ipods, to teddy bears, dolls and jigsaws. It was amazing. All the kids had extra presents and a huge christmas party. We donated the extra food to a local homeless shelter. We were given decorations, trees, big boxes of chocolates for the staff, it was fantastic. People always want to help, especially in the holidays. You just have to make it easier for them :)

    everything pisses you off :D

    no i dont cry at the holidays... or as we civilised people call it 'Christmas'

    i love Christmas

    i might cry though if my kids gifts got crushed in a freak anvil dropping accident... but otherwise Christmas makes me happy... and for people in shops i dont care... i do 90% of my shopping online... i hate busy shops and queuing.. so i dont see all those idiots rushing around frantically buying crap cos they left it too late to buy good stuff.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Oh, man...holiday rage would spring forth...wonder if I could claim temporary insanity, cause I'd have to hurt someone if this was my neighbor...
