"None of my kids live here and nobody is coming home this year. Same as last year but this year is better because I am not sick."

Same here. Same here ...

I miss seeing kids at Christmas. Lost my husband seven years ago and both of my parents around the same time.

Tomorrow I will get to spend some of Christmas day with my sister and my beautiful niece’s family.

I am looking forward to that.
