This is the best example of the Christmas Spirit I have come across this season. If my wife throws me out, I'll make the drive to Texas to join you.
Seriously, I thought your post was very kind. You can teach everyone something with a heart like that.
I have spent alot of Christmases, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, etc. alone, so I know what it's like to be lonely.
I decorated my house like crazy this year and invited a few folks to come by for a small get together yesterday - a few said they couldn't come, a few said they would, nobody showed - so I have been there, done that! I spent the day outside in the sunshine with Dubya and Max (my dogs) and we had a great time AND I didn't have to clean up afterwards! (There's always a silver lining to any cloud!)
