Granny's gone and done it again

I went to see my grandkids today. They live with my Dd s mil. My oldest gd says see our Christmas tree. It was just tiny about 12 inches high. She says we have to make all our ornaments this year. They had made some cute little things. I asked my daughter why, the mil always put up her big tree every year.
Mil said because she doesn’t want her glass ornaments broken by Henry the baby. I said just don’t put them on.
My Dd said I don’t know. She has put it up every year. I guess she is just tired. I know the feeling. That is why I never put up a tree or decorations. It just seems like more work to take them down. The whole hing just struck me as so sad, on all different levels. But I feel bad for my grandkids.

depression is hard this time of year. Family far away, losing your dog. It may not feel like its Christs Birthday but sometimes I force myself to be happy. I know that sounds dumb but after a while it helps. I read happy stuff. Jokes ect.. Surround yourself with love and happiness. Then go volunteer somewhere people need help. adopt someone from an angel tree.

Very good advice. All that stuff actually helps. For real.

I was just going to ask, dang it. I think hubs got a steroid injection, I think , which helped him.


Cold, not enough sunlight, and you are mourning your old girl.

I had a steroid injection, but not in the affected area. Plus almost a whole pack of 4 mg steroid pills. Sigh.

Hubby and i have a deal. He puts the tree up, i trim it, he takes it down. How can you feel festive if you don't decorate or do traditional holiday activities?

Ohh thats an easy one ! Go shopping and buy them a BIG present to put under their tiny tree. Kids enjoy making ornaments . dont forget the candy canes.

Yeah, that sounds pretty sad. I think we take it harder than the little ones do.

Its not easy . You do what you can with what you have.

I need to go soak in the tub. Have a great rest tonight everyone, talk to you tomorrow.
H20, just be really glad you are not in a situation like Mrs Misty. I know the holidays can be hard, and losing a dog is awful. Try to help yourself be happy. Do things you enjoy. Buy yourself flowers. You deserve it. Hugs
