This time of year is very difficult for me. Mostly because people are looking forward to spending time with their loved ones and start to feel sad about not seeing their friends/colleagues over the holidays and that makes for a weird mix of emotions - but I feel like this:

How do you feel about the holidays?

Yes, I do know what you mean. In fact, I'm packing/moving during this Christmas season! :roll: A bit overwhelmed right now.

Anyhow, have a Merry Christmas, regardless of what your friends/colleagues are doing, or not doing! :)

Christmas will be just another day for me. No family, no friends, just me. I'll just stay at home and watch TV or movies and surf the internet. I have no money to spend on presents for anyone anyway.

good luck with the move LabPet and hope it's not too stressful.

I'l; be doing the same as you redrobin62 - and I love that! Just me, snuggly blanket (and cats) and whatever I feel like watching on my puter. Bliss.

In only get to see my family once a year, so holidays mean nothing to me beyond getting barraged with gifts later in the month.

I do wish I could be home this year though. My grandfather is dying, and I really hate being so far away.
