Four years ago, I was putting up a Christmas tree in the house I raised my kids in. I was married, and looking forward to having my kids together for the holiday, along with my husband. One month after Christmas, around our 25th anniversary, he tells me he is moving out and filing for a divorce. My world ended. I live in an apartment, and my kids are living away. He is married and living in an expensive townhouse.

I hate the holidays. I hate the romance in the jewelery commercials, and the family stuff with all the coziness, and fireplaces, which I had in my house.

I want to be held in someone's arms, and given a gift of love and romance by a Godly Christian man who is devoted to God and family. Instead I am single, and have no man in my life.

I hate my life.

I am so sorry. The joy of this holy day has nothing to do with the glitz or glamour but about the love of God for lost humanity. Think on that precious gift you have instead of what you don't.
I pray that you can find relationships to fill the lonely places in your life.

Good advice above! Also, count your blessings. Try to think about all the "good in your life versus the "bad." Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I try to remind myself that things could always be worse. It's easy to sometimes forget to be thankful for some things we take for granted...like our health, eyesight, hearing, ability to walk, etc. It is very humbling and convicting when I meet people who have it worse than I do in life. Trust God and know that whatever you are feeling will pass. Good days will be coming soon. Keep the faith. I will keep you in my prayers.
