My story and experience with Santa last year......
My bro and I are the only family we have in CA all our other relatives are in the south. Well we try to still do traditional things here with each other. Last year we went to the mall and I saw Santa. I wanted a pic and my bro said ok. We went to take a pic with santa. He had me sit on the arm rest next to him and made my bro sit in the floor next to his feet. My bro was heartbroken. He wanted to sit in his lap. (Ok I was 27 and my bro was 24) So after the pic Santa started asking what we were doing for X-mas. My bro told him we were flying back home to see the rest of our family. Santa proceeded to tell us how he was terified of flying and he can never fly without having several jack and cokes. (now we really know ahy rudolph is there) Then he admitted his wife (I assume Mrs. Clause) told him he was an alcoholic and needed to stop. So he went to AA and dried up and took up cross stiching. Santa said that helped keep him calm while he flew but darn it now with all the terroist stuff he can't take his cross stitch needles on the planes with him.
Ok now that all my hopes and dreams about Santa is gone what do I do. I feel like I am not in the X-mas spirit this year cause we haven't visited drunk, cross stiching Santa:-)
This is a true story. Hope it made someone smile.
Have a good day. I have to get my mom tonight but plan on having a crappy day. I am so sad.

I really really know how you feel cause I'm feeling it too. Some days are just worse than others and I don't really know why. I know I woke up today thinking of XOM. I knew when I got into this that someone could get hurt. I'm still glad it wasn't my H, but it is me and I thought I would be stronger if it happened and deal with it better. But I am having a harder time than I thought. I can't listen to music without thinking of him, not get real excited about Christmas, or anything right now.
I find myself trying to keep busy with the weirdest things that I never did before. I'm sewing Christmas scarves for my dogs! Doing crafty things with my dd and I was never crafty before. But the best thing that seems to help me is exercise. I walk about 4 miles a day, and do difficult videos that really make me work and sweat and take out my anxieties.
Hang in there and let us know how you are doing. Remember just one day at a time.
