Anybody else struggle with missing Christmases of the past?

Well this would be a dangerous thread for you to open on a day you're feeling it with a bottle in your hand 😟

 

But I guess it's sort of like college in a way, up until that point in school there's more or less a series of checks and balances that sort of won't let you fall through the cracks for the most part.  In college that pretty much goes away, at least where I went to school.

 

It's like that with family life for you as well it sounds.  For me there was always sort of a series of checks and balances growing up dealing with family members.  But it's going away more and more over time.  I guess it gets the point now where you choose going forward how you want to relate to these people?  You should be fine 

Thanks I am already feeling much better today.  It's not something that completely consumes me year round but I'd be lying if I said the leadup to the Holidays aren't tough and then it gets worse on Thanksgiving and reaches it's worst point on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Once the Holidays are over it's a bit easier to move forward.  Reading the other replies and stories were actually pretty comforting in a sad way.  I appreciate everybody that took the time to reply in this thread, it meant a lot to me!

I think many people had a normal Christmas just like they had a normal Thanksgiving.

 

I know the Jewish community didn't let Covid stop them from mass gatherings.

 

I think lots of people were happy they didn't have to go to midnight mass also.
