It is amazing how things change over the years. I remember being a kid and being so excited at the beginning of November because it was almost time for Christmas. That was all that mattered to me. The presents, food, seeing family that I had not seen much that year, Christmas was the greatest day to me back then. I am only 26 now and I am not looking forward to another Christmas. This will be the second since my father past and my third without my son -who i have never spent a single Christmas with-, no job, almost homeless, and really wishing today would have been the end of the world.
  I know I am not the only one who feels like that over the holidays, for a lot of people out there this is one of the worst parts of the year and that is sad, because I know there are people out there that could fix this. It really wouldn't take very much to change how some of these people fell either. For me it would be a phone call from any person in my family inviting me to spend Christmas with them, anyone at all, just because they know I am going through a tough time and they don't want me to be alone.
  If there is someone you know that needs someone this Christmas please give them a call, even if you know that couldn't make, do it anyway. Make that person feel like they are wanted somewhere. I would do anything to have that feeling right now. ANYTHING. But I know it is not going to happen for me. Dont leave someone hanging this year, they need you.
