for Christmas. I go out of my way each Christmas baking, thoughtful gift buying for friends and relatives, and try to make the days festive and happy. I don't know what happened this year as we ( me, daughter, 29, son 25, and husband) were all in such downer moods. All we did was snap at each other over trivial things. I know with the passing ofmmy motherm6 years, life isn't the same, and each year it doesn't seem to get better. My kids have no significant others in the picture, while friends ' kids are married and are starting families. We had no family this year to spend the day with, as people were elsewhere. This was the first time in 56 years that I haven't had company or been invited elsewhere. And it was such a downer. It's like we're all talked out, have nothing new to say, and we're just bored with each other...sounds terrible I know.
