It’s the same every year, right around the same time The sadness infects me, not unlike a violent crime

How can it be? What is the reason? What is the origin of this sad season?

All around me tidings of joy On signs and the TV - seems only me they destroy

Perhaps it’s the knowledge - maybe it’s the truth The joy is misguided - this the unavoidable sooth

Perhaps it’s the knowledge - maybe it’s the truth The joy is misguided - this the unavoidable sooth

How can I be glad when children are starving? How can I smile while the turkey I’m carving?

Could this be the reason that my heart bleeds each year? Must I endure another Christmas holding back a tear?

What is left to do? How shall I cope? The love in some eyes is all that gives me hope

There is love out there, a fact you must not miss So please rest your heart and have a Merry Christmas

you put perfectly in words a feeling often felt but words tend to ellude me

Thank you, Bro. I have to get it out or I'll go nuts

yeah, I feel that...I tend to use the words of others to try to convey what I feel, so really, thank you.

When others can relate to what I say (not unlike you) this is the most fulfilling medicine I can get

I hear ya, Luv

So...no...thank you! POKES

baby!!!!

Dat's me. I already wrote to you about MY struggles I hate this time of year.

Who do you think my muse was/is?

At least until Xmas Eve...then I make myself dress up like the biggest dork, adorning myself like a tree just to at least make others smile

Love you baby

I'd hug you but I dont have the huggy emote. I need to work on my karma

Work it baby...WORK IT!!! I'll help

OMG a weight lifting emote!! That's So cool!!

See what you are missing by not being addicted to the Plurk???

heh, you two just made me smile

psst bro the huggy emote is the word cozy with brackets () around it

You can cheat???? Even if you haven't earned it yet???

nods

points and laughs at her Bro for using SL lingo

Nope...you had it right

Why can't I cheat?!?!

See...I can't use this one either (banana_cool)

I didn't actually see the huggy but the emotion is still there.
