yeah, the concept is great. but my reality is that my whole family either lives in another country or much rather ignores that my grandmother (and everyone descended from her) even exists. so since my mother decided i was no little kid anymore christmas for me means sitting around with my mom and her current boyfriend talking about cheerful things like 'humanity is a virus and therefor massmurderers could be called a cure for the earth's illness' or whatever is going wrong in current politics... seriously the only really good thing i can see about this season is that nuts, salmon and marzipan are easier to get and cheaper. *g*
First off *super big hug* for you. Secondly, this time of year is not the best for me either. Having lost my mother and brother it's very lonely this time of year for me. The one thing I do have to look forward to is that I will most likely be very busy travelling and not have that much time to sit and think on it. If you find yourself getting too maudlin, give me a shout. We can commiserate together.
Things could be worse, you could be trussed in a corset, stuffed in a 15 pound costume and expected to sing long phrases by a director who does NOT have to wear a corset. Here's a virtual hug for you! **HUGS**

I rather like the concept of the holiday thing, but the reality never seems to get anywhere near that.

The best part of it all, however, is getting to share the squee with awesome folks like y'self, and that's cool in itself. :)

And perhaps I shall. Haven't watched the whole thing through properly (on the big screen in the theater) in a while. :)

Though, funny, all that does is make me want to go sing again! :)
