For many years Christmas was a had time for me. Almost every year I would lose someone close to me. Lost my grandmother one year, grandfather another year, my mother a few years later, my former wife told me she did not love me on Christmas Eve, divorce the next year 10 days before Christmas, break up of family Christmas at farm, this year the death of owner of ranch I grew up on this year. I have kept my religion and this site has helped me through it.
