I'm sorry to hear that, Chelsea @chelsea88

It is up to you to decide what you want your Christmas to be like. I loved my family Christmases growing up and with 9 kids in the family, it was never about what was under the tree. My dad made a lot of things and we never knew we didn't have much money. My parents never told us. ;)

To this day, most Thanksgivings are spent working in shelters and serving dinner to those that have nowhere to go and nobody to be with. It could be a senior home or homeless shelter. My whole family does it. The last two years, we didn't but feel like we want to do it again next year.

My point is that if you don't want to celebrate, you can help others celebrate. Their is so much reward in that (to me anyway) Plus the fact that it is fun. And these people have all been grateful and boomerang that love right back.

Life is tough. And hopefully, it will get better. Here is to 2020~
