I LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They're coming to my city on the 23rd, and I'm considering going... if I can get my skeptical other half to go. He's never heard of them. I think there's still a classic rock chick inside this middle-aged body :)

I have a new favorite Christmas song. I actually just heard it tonight. It's called "Camouflage & Christmas Lights" By Rodney Carrington. It's a song for all of our troops! As an Army wife I have to say I really love it!!!
I also love the song, "Christmas Shoes"

My favorite Christmas movie is The Bishops Wife.I watch it every year as I wrap gifts. The old version not the Whitney Houston version. My favorite songs are Believe by Josh Groban, and O Holy Night.
Happy Holidays!

We do this every year for my step dad who passed away 4 yrs ago for his birthday - 2 days before xmas. He was the best papa to my daughter who was only 3 when he died. Still breaks my heart for her and him that they were separated so soon......but she loves the balloon send off and writing him a note

My aunt was telling me about what they do for my uncle who passed away a few years ago. when they visit his grave, everyone takes a helium balloon, and writes a little message to him on it with a sharpie. when everyone is ready, they release them into the sky.
She claims it is a very healing activity, and I can understand why.

Thank you I was thinking of doing that, Each year in the past my husband and I gave the kids $5 each to buy Xmas present for us and their step siblings this year I will continue and thought they could still buy a present for dad of a helium balloon to let go on Xmas day or something

For my husband, Stan's 58th birthday in April - he passed away in January - we sent up 58 balloons to remember him. They formed an "S" in the sky which we all found comforting.

Hi Karen,
I am sure this is a difficult time for you as it is for many. I know
that the economy has really taken its toll on so many families, myself
included! My husband has been laid off for over a year now. I wish I could buy my
kids the world, but...Have you looked into agencies that can help? I don't
know where you are from, but I know that there are a lot of places that
will help you especially because you have a young child. Have you called the
Salvation Army? Churches in your area? There is no reason what so ever that
you won't be able to give your child a nice Christmas with all the places
out there that help families through out the holidays, and that I'm sure
will help you to cheer up a bit! I know it isn't a good feeling to know that
you have to rely on someone to help you, but it is better than not having
anything for your child this Christmas.
Holidays can be a tough time for people and all you really can do is
focus on the good things to help you get through it. Sometimes when I get
depressed I tell myself, "this too shall pass" Nothing lasts forever!!! It is
hard, but hang in there and know that we (mompowergroup) are here for you
and if you need to talk one on one please feel free to email me

God Bless, Eliza

Dear Julie,
You and your little angels will always be in my prayers to GOD. Take care and truly only the courageous ones will move on in life. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. and you are the tough one. How great you are and God will surely be proud He has got an angel in the making.
Its easier said than done but i had alot of experiences so i do wish you the best in life.
WHen one door closes, another opens and when GOD decides to open one, it will the best and you will be uplifted in life my dear Sister. May the Almighty Authority, Remover of Sorrow and Bestower of Happiness grant you with all the best things in life and fulfill all your pure thoughts and good wishes.

This is a tough Christmas for us - our first without my wonderful husband who passed away earlier this year - and he is very much missed. Each ornament I unwrap, getting the tree, the decorations outside which used to be Stan's job and passion - all remind me and my ten year old of what we are missing. I am trying to keep things exciting for him. The best advice I got was to create new traditions. I am trying to find a happy medium where we combine the old and the new.
This year, it is tough because I am remembering how sick he was last year with Cancer. He went very quickly so this time last year we spent in the hospital. When I get down, I try and remember the good times and the wonderful man he was. Maybe this article our alumni assoc wrote might bring a smile to your faces: http://www.imakenews.com/psaanews/ e_article0013562 66.cfm?x= b11,0,w
Happy Holidays everyone.
Kindly,
Sharyn

Subject: Re: [mompowergroup] Christmas Blues
I can empathize with you because I am usually very depressed at Christmas time, although I can't really pinpoint why. I try to keep a (fake) smile on and the kids are so delighted with our minimal holiday decorations and presents that they don't even notice. They get excited despite my feelings, and their excitement cheers me up! I try to give them little things they love, markers and drawing books, silly putty, slinkies, huge lollipops, Pez candy and so forth. Because they are not used to big presents, they are happy with what they get. Raising them this way has enabled them to see more of the true spirit of Christmas. (We have a great kid's Nativity Set which they play with.) We try to go to church where the candles are lit and the music is beautiful. My oldest is now 26 and he still loves Christmas and remembers all of the little things he gets. (Yes, he still does play with his slinky and his silly putty.)
I would suggest you use this Christmas to build your own Christmas traditions. They don't have to cost much, and your young child will remember them from year to year. Let his/her joy on Christmas raise your spirits. Presents are not important...family is!

Thank god I have a job $12 hr, lol Don't let the depression catch hold, get busy! check out thrift stores, food banks, sales, community aid, Its surprising how much help is out there, kids don't care if the toys are brand new! toys into the house are new toys for them. We used to take the kids to the dollar store each year and give them $5 to buy presents for their siblings and us, they love it and even though it will hurt so bad I will keep that tradition going. Head up, fight back!

Christmas Blues

Good morning ladies I would like to thank all of you that have listened to me being depressed & thank you for reminding me that the holiday aren't about how much money is spent. My son who is 1 years old will know the true meaning of Christmas because you all gave me a big dose of reality. see the big problem is daddy, he is a drunk & he takes the fun out of everything with his drinking but I'm gonna try not to let him spoil my Frankie's christmas. last night my lil man was up again with his tummy & of course daddy didn't get out of bed but Frankie & I get to spend quality time together, so we took a christmas book & read it & the way he looked up at me smiling I knew right then he is my reason to be alive so my feeling sorry for myself is going to be hidden just for him. We live in White Haven,P.A. & we got 5 inches of snow douring the night so today we are gonna go outside & play in the snow because that is 1 thing my son loves. So again thanks for listening to me & I am greatful for the friendships I'm getting through this web site

Dear Trin,
We do feel for you and do understand your son's depressed state of mind. i wonder if you do know of meditation,
There is a saying In Prayer we talk to God BUT
In Meditation we listen to GOD.
i had alot of things which happened in my life and meditation has helped me overcome it. If you want the website do keep in touch. Wrmst regards,

I am a member of our local freecycle and wow some of the things we have received and given away, Have to tell you of our recent bargain , We saw a 12ft trampoline on craigslist for $25 went to veiw it perfect good condition, Gave the lady $10 deposit went back next day and my daughters and I dismantled it while the lady watched in amazement, we tugged and hammered and after about 45 mins it was done. The woman was so impressed she told me to keep the other $15.00 Beautiful Christmas present for the girls for $10 and some determination not to be beaten. Also a lesson to the girls that even though we are without Dad now, we can acheive if we try Julie

Have you heard of freecycle.org? It's a yahoo group that you join in your
area and then people can post used items that they think someone else might
want or need so it doesn't go to the dump. It's FREE! People can also post
WANTED adds if there is something that they are looking for. You might try
posting a wanted add for some children's toys or something else that your
child may need. It's an awesome group. I've gotten so many useful and
wonderful things that I couldn't afford otherwise. Also I have been able to
give several things that someone else really needed to use. Amazing what
you can find when you just start trying to clean things out. Your trash may
be someone else's treasure. Check on yahoo to see if there is one in your
area. Hope you are able to have a good Christmas!

I am the author. It is about love, marriage, parenting, and caring for older parents. If you are a mother or have had one, this book is for you! It was reviewed by a former writer of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and he called it bright, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny. You can get it on Amazon.com, if you want to laugh a little, maybe cry a little...

I"m not really good at this, but hear it goes.I gave birth to a child with really bad asthma and could give a good x-mas for years. Because of the cost of all the meds.Thats when I had to put Christmas were it belongs back to the real reason Christ was born.
