Hospital Diaries Pt. VI: The Holiday Edition
On seeking permission and owning our choices. Plus creative Christmas decor, CBD stocking stuffers and festive eats.
My crooked Christmas tree is bare. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find my ornaments. It’s been years since I decorated. Ever since my mom died, I’ve taken a Scrooge stance on Christmas. Every year, come November 1st, the sound of Christmas music in stores would fill me such rage that it would take every ounce of self-control to resist tearing down holiday displays. Christmas, to me, is a celebration of family and any sign of it reminds me of the family I’ve lost.
The saying “the grass is greener on the other side,” really does ring true. I know there are many people out there with huge families who would love to spend Christmas alone. I know you can feel lonely in a relationship or surrounded by people at the dinner table.
