I have zero Christmas Spirit.

Yea, I know that feeling. I spent 10 minutes getting lectured by my doctor (GP, not a shrink) on how my life really wasn't that bad and I had no reason to be so depressed and other people are much worse off so I need to remember that and be more cheerful.

Yea, thanks, I guess I must take those anti-depressants for fun and entertainment then ><

This sort of B.S. makes me furious. Belittling and trivializing my issues does not make me feel better about the fact that they are there to begin with. It doesn't matter that kids in Whereveristan are starving while I have food going bad in my fridge, I still feel like a worthless human being for no comprehensible reason and your tripe isn't helping in the slightest.

@Lamia of the Dark finishing who you already have sounds like it might be a better bet for you.

As for spirit and happies we missed connecting with any members of the family when we had the rental car so there went the last of my spirit. We aren't allowed to compare injuries at the TBI meetings so I never compare my woes to other peoples'. Do you have it in yourself or can you find what you need to better your situation? Pandora found hope in the bottom of the box under the hiccups.

The best I can offer is to paraphrase Butters on South Park, you can't feel the lows unless you've felt the highs, some day you'll feel good again.

I completely agree with you. I really hate it when people do that to me. That crap doesn't make you feel better about yourself. It makes you even more depressed or angry. This is why I didn't tell anyone I had depression until months later.

Last night my mother turned on "Home Alone" around 9, since we had just had a conversation a few days ago about how I've never seen it, just the second one (luck of the TV schedule draw, I guess). We got about a half hour through it when she turned to me and asked if I was going to bed - I got kicked out of the living room on Christmas Eve for the first time in about ten years.

It snowed yesterday! A white Christmas for the first time in ... YEARS. Part of me was all "Yay, Christmas snow!" And the other part of me was all "Ugh, Christmas Snow. How'm I gonna get my 97-year-old grandmother up the front steps through THAT?"

Looking outside just a few minutes ago, though, it looks like it's melting already. Dunno if that's because temps warmed up, or it just rained overnight and turned it to slush and ice.

We woke up to fog (that is lingering still since we have overcast-getting-ready-to-storm skies). I guess Rudolph was working overtime last night!

We have a tiny bit of snow on the ground - enough for a pretty Christmas morning

The reason why my mother wanted me to go to bed last night? I had made a joking comment that I wanted my Christmas stocking full (my normal stocking got misplaced so instead my mother used a big felt stocking normally used for decorating) so my mother decided to put all my presents in to this 3 foot stocking to one up my joke. It was pretty funny - it made me smile!

I wish I could go back to bed! Presents are nice, but I wish I had more time to get them together for other people. Everyone's things are late this year.

They're not late... they are Three Kings Day presents. Geeze, get it right! XD

Now, go back to bed. ^_____^

Last night I drank turkish coffee for the first time (vile, vile I say!) just so I'd have coffee grounds. My uncle Csaba likes to read people's futures and he loves to tell tall tales without a single bell of truth ringing within them.

Anyway, according to my coffee grounds, everything is wonderful and stable in my life and I am loved by all. Within 3 weeks of returning to the US, 3 people will show up in my apartment with microphones and interview me on my political views. Oh, and apparently I'm going to get married within the year, better tell that to my partner before it's too late! And things I want in life are a giant rampaging elephant that can't be stopped with an ostrich on top of it pooping out good fortune for me.

My sister apparently has a money coin problem and her boyfriend has to buy her at least 3 pairs of shoes and a white angelic dress from a turkish store.

The funniest fortune must have been for my dad's friend Tibor R. (my dad is Tibor S.), who has a big busted and large reared farm girl waiting for him back in Hungary. She also has beautiful luscious locks of hair that are perfect as soon as she gets out of bed. I think the wine and cognac had gone to Csaba's head.

Either way, we all had a good time.
