Man, I read these comments and I can relate to so many of them. But honestly, this year, nothing. We've recently moved to an area that's more healthy for our family. I have a partner who's not abusive. My kids and myself are getting the mental healthcare that we need. It's snowy outside! We have a Christmas tree and presents! It was not amazing; there was nothing over the top or spectacular. But there was nothing bad. Damn, that feels nice.

It's good to hear happy stories too. Especially when many of us posting have not had the best time.

That's about how I feel. I know I am blessed and that makes me happy. I don't take it for granted.

Sorry 😔😐 that someone down voted your comment. That's not very holiday so Spirit like lol... But I think almost half the comments on here always have at least one downvoted so don't feel bad 😞
