Maiden,
Where are you in Colorado? I thought perhaps you and I had chatted in the past - but I see that you are REALLY new!

I think I speak for myself perhaps, but when I invite someone to my home for any holiday even if they aren't my family I do it because I really want them here. I feel like they are part of my celebration. I try to keep it "small" so they don't feel like they are lost in a sea of strangers which can make a person feel very awkward.
Welcome to Outdoorwomyn and Maiden_Voyager!

Welcome, Maiden_Voyager and outdoorwomyn.
MV, I'm also Jewish, We celebrate Hunnkah at home and Christmas with my husband's family. There have been years when I, too, wanted to smash the speakers if I heard one more piped in seasonal song.
I've also suffered from clinical depression most of my life, although now that it's being treated properly it's less of a problem.
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad right now, but this is a great place to come and be cheered up.
I you'd like to talk to me privately, I'll be happy to do so.

First let me say "Welcome"!!! I grew up in an area where you were either Catholic or Jewish. We celebrated both in school & I never gave it much more thought until I was older. I am Catholic....and believe me....working retail for 20 plus years....the Christmas songs came earlier and earlier!!! Except for the religious ones, we've got many other versions!!! ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) LOL Do they have any groups at your local synogue? ( I know I am spelling that wrong) It could be the place to start in finding other women you can connect with. When you're feeling down, jump on here. There is always someone around to support you!

Hello MV and Outdoor, welcome, MV, you wrote: " I'll see you all at Talbots on the 26th!" Does this mean you are close enough to Denver to be able to join us at Park Meadows? I can't believe how many CO boomers we have!

Help! The dentist was playing canned Christmas music while I was trapped in his chair getting a tooth filled this morning. It's a good thing I'm in a really good mood and nothing can bother me right now.
