Feeling unloved

Hi Robert if your friends in this community had been able to send you Christmas cards your room would be full of them. I hate the fact that Christmas makes people feel more isolated than usual. Everyone I have heard about seems to be dreading Christmas Day - even (perhaps especially) those people spending it with relatives. 

You are a good friend to many people in this forum. I always enjoy reading your posts. It makes me sad when you share painful experiences from childhood and tough times you have experienced at work. You deserve so much more than this from life. 

Here is a virtual Christmas card for you - my dog Izzy in front of the Christmas tree. I have not written or sent any actual Christmas cards this year. If it had been left to me the tree would still be up in the loft. 

I don't feel at all Christmassy this year and neighbours don't seem to have as many lights or decorations as usual. The thing that lifts my spirits the most is seeing bulbs pushing up in the garden and buds swelling on branches of bushes and trees. It will be spring again before we know it! 

I actually did receive one card.  From my local MP!

I'm not too lonely, I just spent an enjoyable hour watching BBC four and the history of Fleetwood Mac.  And I'm very embarrassed to confess that I only discovered today, that Stevie Nicks is a woman.

I have three Christmas cards ready to give my nearest family. ( Sister, nephew and niece. & Their families).  I was invited to spend Christmas day at my sister's.  I've just checked the text message invitation date ( 7 Nov).  If the invitation is still on I will give them the cards and might get some back.

Stevie Nicks is gorgeous!

Thanks.

Thanks.
