I had the Christmas blues also this year. I don't know why! I am always so excited about Christmas. I was excited in the beginning but a couple of days before it got here I got depressed. Alot of it had to do with my in-laws. They drive me crazy.
I hope everyone may be feeling better as the holiday passes. It can be a hard time, but remember it will pass, and we are all here for each other-- whether an email, a response of support on the board, a kick in the butt when we need it, and a hug when all else fails. Chin up.

I do feel about over the hub bub of the holidays. Got some of the decorations put away because our house is not set up very well for a lot of extra decoration and it feels more spacious.
Looking forward to the new year, a new start on the forum after the gaffe I made on this one . . .

Margo! M-35??
It is so beautiful along the shore...Every time we take a drive to "explore" along that scenic route I alwaaaays look for a house that is for sale-one in particular that we have been watching for 20-years...still vacant and very, very lovely-Not up for sale, but completely empty. If I ever win the "lotto" I'll buy that little cottage on the bay.
So nice to hear from someone who has lived where I live now.
Feeling much better now that Christmas is over. I actually went out today and bought some wool at a local shop located in an historic lumbar barons home over on 1st Street here in Menominee. I have given myself a goal to knit at least 3 dozen wristlets before spring so I can sell them over the summer when we do our soap shows.
Hope everyone is doing okay with their Christmas "blues" I am thinking of you.
You ladies are not alone. We also suffer from sadness this time of year. Our daughter Violet was due on Christmas day... 10 years ago. She passed away from multiple genetic problems when I was 5 months pregnant and I really feel the loss this time of year.
I was a major pain for my hubby and kids this Christmas day. I couldn't get out of my funk...it was such a shock how mad and grump monster I was...but...I was....and I tried to explain.
I just got done putting Christmas away and I'm starting to feel a bit better. The sun was SUPER SHINY today and that helped too. I got out there and just sucked it up! More sun fore-casted for tomorrow.
I'm thinking of you all and hoping the reason for the season came your way a little bit! Hugs, Rejena
Christmas blues...
