Holiday Black and Blues

The holiday season began with Thanksgiving. We took a deep breath and stepped on the roller coaster ride that would zip us through a gauntlet of paper-wrapped, bow-tied, fancy-dan celebrations and parties, changing out the decorations of one as the next holiday begins. 

Depending upon your background, your formal observances could include Hanukkah, Advent, the Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s. (Diwali comes easier in many years.) In addition, we have all of our seasonal gatherings with family and friends.

  

For those of us who lost loved ones this year, the holidays will be a nightmare.
