Hey Everybody! Christmas is the time of year to enjoy & share with family & friends. Some people will spend this time alone & isolated too!
This is a safe place where people can post and say hello, chat or send wishes to others and have a 'Virtual Christmas/New Years'!
Whether you have plans for Christmas/New Years or having a quiet one you can kick back and just enjoy company of others. Its been a long year. Even if you have never posted on Beyond Blue before you are very welcome to come in and sit around our 'Virtual Christmas Tree' and chat 🙂
You asked for this Paul here it is for all.
Santa (AKA Kanga Peter) Ho Ho! 🙂

Dear Geoff,

Thanks, means a lot. Cheers to you too! From Dools xxx

Dear lovely lady Dools.

You DO have a loving appreciative family....Here.

We think the world of you

Deeply sorry for your pain

You're amazing that beautiful garden is a reflection of you

🤗🤗

Gday Mrs Dool's get your garden looking great for Christmas. If your anything like me, I had to ditch the rest of me family last year. Because of family stuff. This is not the right forum to raise the issues within it. A time and place shall be found till then they can have there turnout and stuff it with Christmas stuffings. Me I will celebrate a real Aussie Christmas with out them. When the time comes we shall see who pays the piper, for the merry dance. I know who will have the better Christmas though. The one who has given of themselves, not forced into submission.

Hey Everybody....DB.....Jackson...Geoff...and Kanga 🙂 and new posters/readers are welcome to post what they are doing on or during Christmas too!

Hi MrsDools....I dont really mind spending Christmas on my own (if it turns out that way) as I have spent so much time healing I am happy in my own skin

Geoff....I understand that Christmas is a very difficult time for you....For you to have the strength to post on this thread is a bonus and thankyou..

Kanga...Thanks for re-booting the 2016 thread. Always a bonus to have you 'on the air' with your mega support! You were a host on this thread with Kazzl last year not to mention keeping it going right up to the start of 2017 too when I was worn out at 10pm on New Years Eve

My Kindest

I really really hate December. I put on a brave face around my family, but I just want to be nowhere.

Hello Lothar1966

Welcome to the forums and thankyou for having the courage to post too! Nice1

You are not alone here. There are many people on the forums (and this thread) that find this time of year a major pain...Its a painful time of year when so many people are celebrating and we feel like a black sheep in the middle of all the decorations.

You are definitely not on your own here at all

Im 57 and have just started to cope with December in the last couple of years.....and yes...its damn hard for sure Lothar1966

It would be great if you could stick around the forums. You are also more than welcome to start up your own thread topic under any heading you wish!

Great to have you as a part of the forum family

Great verse Kanga 🙂 I wish I had your ‘true love’ in my life because I’d LOVE to have all those creatures sent to me. Nature and wildlife is very grounding and keeps me sane

Hi Juliette.....Thankyou for posting on the forums 🙂

Kanga is a legend here and I agree with you....His 'true love' is a quality for sure

I hope you can stick around the forums....I live with my rescued 'Chow Chow German Shep Cross'

Always a bonus to have new members post!

Are you with family for Christmas or having a quiet one?

My Kind thoughts

Paul

Good Morning Everyone,

Greetings to you all. Looking back to see all that has been written here makes me once again so very thankful for the amazing community on this forum.

Here it is okay to love, loathe or ignore Christmas. It is okay to de deliriously happy, angry, frustrated, hurt or what ever else it may be that you are feeling this time of year.

For me, I am going to try to keep my depression and other mental health issues in check, to look after myself and try to make the most of each day so I feel better about myself, and the world in general.

Cheers to ME and cheers to YOU, from Mrs. Dools
