I No Longer Love Christmas Like I Used To

The last post I wrote here in this group, I was told to help someone to help me get through this holiday season.
So, I invited an old friend of my husband who is on his last leg of hope in life.
He is a retired firefighter, was a captain at a big fire station.
10 yrs ago, his wife's lover tried to kill him. He took a direct shot to his gut!
He almost died, his wound healed.. on the outside but he was left with a huge void in his heart and soul!
He was overjoyed to join us for Christmas. He will be here Monday.
It put everything in perspective once again when it comes to what is important this time of the year... LOVE!
I went out and got all the fixings for a fine Christmas meal.
I feel so good about this, that all my own troubles disappeared.
MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU ALL!!!!

Christmas isn’t the same due to having to spend it with my mum and her abuisive husband. Last Christmas was a depressing time for me. I hope this years Christmas brings me happiness and enjoy. I don’t look forward to Christmas as much as I used too. I’m so proud of you for helping someone in need. The world needs more people like you in it. I wish you the best for this Christmas and I hope you have a great new year.

I hope for your sake and your mum's, that her abusive husband chills his ways and straightens up. I pray that you find the peace and happiness you so need!
Thank you, I have known sorrow too and if I can help someone else not feel so damn sad... I want to help.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! @SW-User
