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

You're not alone Trixie. I cry watching the news sometimes

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.

*waves* "I just want scream HELLO"!! Cyberbearhug comin your way.

tbh for the most part, I find it amusing watching people turn into animals this time of the year. Pretty ironic... don't ya think?

It doesn't make me cry though!

Doesn't make me cry. Does make me want to lay a pounding on someone, though.

Hey a big hug to you yeah i've been thinking about my mother in law who we lost last yr in Dec i hope you feel better ..

The odd time... for the most part I just observe... overwhelmed and wondering what the fuck's wrong with everyone

Humanity goes out the window when it comes to Christmas shopping, sports events, concerts, traffic jams, courtesy, manners, selflessness, etc.

Fixed your post

Last Christmas was the worst time ever for me and my kids. It was the single most miserable time I can ever remember in my life. I viewed most of it through a haze of alcohol and/or tears.

A lot's changed since then, and things can only get better, right?

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?
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 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

You're not the only one. I've been crying at the drop of a hat all year... and the end of last.

I really miss that fucking hat.

*sends an omega hug all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada!

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!
