    Is anyone out there feeling the "crunch" of the 'holiday season'??

    There is always a note of 'stress' or 'anxiety' for me at this time of year. Not enough money...having PTSD and 'having to' visit with the 'ex' who contributed to this condition...help!!!

    I've been feeling it all year,not working, no money coming in, lots going out, never bloody ending, it'll be a frugal Christmas and New year but I'll get by, one way or another.

    Yes...it HAS been a 'frugal' year here as well ROMOS...it's this hype and the 'have-tos' that stress me out...perhaps a nice lo-nnnnnnnng walk on the beach will clear my head..what time is it? Where's my flashlight kids?? Snow? Who forecasted bloody SNOW?!? Arrrrgh! ;O

    Us Scots tend to focus more on the New year celebrations Tom, but Christmas comes a close second.Always have a bevvy at both.

    I know all about "US SCOTS" & thery're celebrations.LOL My father was one of you.

    For once I'm not stressing. I did my shopping, meager as it was. I've got the spirit which will extend if/when my cat comes home....

    I take it he's not home yet.

    He is my Christmas Wish for you too then Julie! Merry Christmas and "Come Home Worthless!!" :)

    Thank you @lindilou. I still talk of him in present tense. It's only been 4 days but he had only lived here for the month before.....

    I think we all feel a little"crunch" at this time of year Lindy. I know our resources take a mighty blow.But the happiness on the kid's faces seems to make it all worthwhile somehow. Tighten your belt,stiff upper lip & all that girl.It's all over in 10 days or so.Then you have a whole year to get the credit card paid off & do it all again.LOL.


    Merry Christmas Lindy,Tommy.

    Thanks for the 'encouragement' Tommyh!! I've no 'CREDIT' anyhow and when I think back I've always been amazed when it's all over and I've performed that "miracle" and the kids are so happy about it all...oh the 12 days of Christmas...la la la la la la!! And a partridge in a pear tree!! LOL

    I hope you get your moggy back for Christmas too.Merry Christmas Julie.

    Thank you, @Tommyh. This is great, a wish from half way around the world! I'll tell Worthless when he comes home.....

    Alot feeling the crunch physically and mentally, not just monetarily. High school basketball games during holidays (  Lorraine, Grady, Andrew,Martin, Dawson, Big Lake 27-29. Klondike ) Holidays not much rest time for some. I'm one of them.

    Zorro! Don't go loco! I keep uttering to myself...peace..peace..white light...white light...now everyone KNOWS I'm whack!! Oy ...this too shall pass...
    Merry Ho Ho Ho!!! ;D
    p.s. good luck with the b-ball!!

    Christmas does not appear to be as exciting as it used to be. Alot of people cant afford to celbrate that much any more. Children make Christmas real. As we dont have any children, will be keeping a low key, not even sure about  Christmas tree etc. Will have Christmas dinner, but for me no goodies, cake etc.. Will have my hubby,  TV, computer, feel cosey, and of course Our two Furry babys, what more could we ask for. Will just think about people who have less.
