Can I just hide or run away

[Happiness2019]

With the holiday approaching I feel more and more pain and anxiety. I can't give my family the Christmas they want. My bills have fallen behind and I can't seem to catch up. But I'm told to smile and be happy he will start a job soon and things will be better. I just want to cry. I feel like a failure. But no one understands.

We understand dear.. at this time of year, emphasis seems to be put on gifts

that we can't afford. Long gone is the spirit of the holidays and being together

as a family. Singing, playing games, walking and looking at the decorations of

the season.

Watch a movie together, all these things are free. I think we all need to get

back to embracing the simple things in life. Start a new family tradition called

"Love".. These are the things your family will long remember. Mountains of

toys and gifts will mean nothing years from now.

Sending you hugs and holding you in my heart this Christmas. xx
