Thanks. You too!!

I've learned it's about the feelings, spirit, sharing.

The material stuff goes, updates etc.

It's the memories

If you have no family go help at a soup kitchen or shelter, Holiday spirit you will find.

You are right. I do donate toys and food this timie of the year. And it does help one find the Holiday Spirit with no family...

This is so true. When I first divorced and had to "share" my son with his father over part of the holidays, I was incredibly depressed. The first year, I wallowed and it was awful. The second, and subsequent years, I went and volunteered at the mission. I'd spend 2 days baking pies (which I love to do anyway), and would load up the car with them. The first time I walked in holding 4 pies on a tray, the faces of the homeless men there just lit up. When I said I had 20 more in the car that needed carrying in, I thought they were gonna explode. I felt so good that I forgot to feel bad.
