Do you have any family traditions?
Other than getting together to have a meal? I don’t think there are any traditions within family.
With December on its way, have you ever been carol singing?
No, nor have I seen any carolers except on TV. I would love to if I get the chance because I love to sing though I would imagine I would need something like hand warmers to keep me warm if I’m going to survive in the 20-some-degree-Fahrenheit (sub-zero-Celsius) temperature for more than a few minutes.
Do you decorate your home for the Christmas holidays?
Not this year. I put up a Christmas tree last year and the years before but this year, I’m just not feeling the holiday spirit. Maybe it’s due to all that’s happened this year. Maybe it’s due to my suffering from my gardening itch, which I having trouble scratching because my mom is drawing the line of the number of plants I can have indoors and my 2 pepper plants is that limit.
Do you enjoy the Christmas rush for preparations and shopping?
This is another thing I have never experienced as I never had been needing to shop for Christmas presents nor cook any Christmas meals.
This is Another Story 
I hope you feel better and enjoy the holidays

Lucky kid. I hate Christmas myself. The whole thing irritates me, breaks the bank and one eats too much. I’m hoping to spend it alone with Henry this year. I will do boxing day.

I used to love Christmas when I had a step-family who actually gathered around on Christmas day and exchanged presents. Now, I don’t really see the point as there’s no presents between me and my mom and there’s a 50-70% she’ll wake up grumpy.

I shall say prayers for mom. I cant understand how you had a step family and now, just Mom. You don’t have to explain. I shall say prayers for mom. I wish you could get her onto an antidepressant. If we knew where the trauma started, we could pray for healing of that moment. God is faithful. I leaned on Him once because I was without options and to my surprise, He was there. I have leaned on Him ever since.

Well, mom chose to leave my step-father and I lost the step-family in the process. I don’t think she’s depressed. I think she might has Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and I have heard my therapist describe her as sorta narcissistic based on my daily encounters.
I know, God is always there and I lean on him more times than I can count.

I only put a wreath on my front door. I tend to feel depressed around the holidays.

I don’t even have a wreath up this year. I think I was in a better mood last year because I had an indoor garden where I got to watch seedlings grow. This year, I just have 2 pretty stagnant pepper plants and some aloe pups that look like they’re on death door. I wish I plant something, that should cheer me up.
