......this holiday season? For me, I'll miss (as I have for the past several years) having my children with me. I'll miss their help decorating the tree and baking some cookies. I'll miss taking them shopping for gifts for each other, wrapping the gifts, and going to Christmas Eve services as a family.

Well, now I'm depressed. My grandfather. He loved Christmas and all the lights I put up for him.

I'll tell you. My favorite holiday in New Years. I start all over and plan to make absolutely NO mistakes in the new year. It will be a first for me but I better do it soon.
My least favorite is Christmas. I like the shopping, the wrapping, the lights, the little visits. I do not like the missing someone.

It's not every day that I think about the whos and whats missing in my life, but holidays seem to blow them out of proportion. This year, it's OK for me to be sad about what/who is missing. It's OK to be happy with the what and who that are, too. Thank you for your answer eggplant. You are uniquely unique!

My dad's been gone since 2001....he wasn't the most cordial guy, but I still miss him and other family members who are gone. Try to keep good memories; enjoying a laugh from times with them helps keep the tears in check. Thank you for your answer, ed shank.

I don't really know who I miss the most. My mom and dad are both gone. And I miss my son who may or may not call. Of course I miss them. But at Christmas I love what it is each year. I don't get depressed, unless I am sick. This year it's a small tree with daughter, son in law, and grand dog coming for 3 days. This fills my heart to the brim. The food, the fire, the snow, just everything that surrounds a happy family with love. and the presents - this year we're only giving presents that we have found at Good Will, Salvation Army, or some other thrift shop. We are expecting this to be lots of fun!

My husband of 43 years died on December 21 2009. But my children and all my grand children will all be here. So on the actual day there will be much laughter and joy. Probably a few funny Grandpa stories as well.

Nothing. But Christmas is a Spiritual holiday. I no longer get hyped up about it. It was fun with the kids- but they r older now. I have lost a loved one a few thanksgivings ago and a loved one the day before christmas and the day after Christmas. But, as a health care professional, having worked with the dying, this is not unusual. I remember them fondly say a prayer of great thanks that they were in my life and say a prayer of thanks for those who r in my life today. Dowsa and everyone who is missing their loved ones God Bless and It is OK to miss them!!!!!! And you r not alone!
