I kind of am getting those too. A lot of things are really different this year. The new house, new town (my old town did an AWESOME thing every year where on one night Santa would ride through town on the fire truck, then we'd go to Borough Hall and watch them light the christmas tree). and not having the dogs of course is quite weird. My cousin Patricia and her hubby Terry have Christmas at their house every year (on the 17th), but they are going to be in Sweeden this year so we will be having it at my other cousin, Donna's house. And I LOVE Donna, but there is something really special about driving up to Tricia's farm in PA and just being in her house. =/ My uncle isn't doing well....Everything is just kinda "blah" this year. *sigh*
But I'm still excited for Christmas. I hope that I can manage to sneak into the city at least once because those christmas decorations always lift me up.
Everyone going through a hard time will be in my prayers this holiday season. <3
