I have a really hard time with this time of year, also. It is perhaps becuase I have no happy childhood memories of this holiday. Although we had good time when I had my own family, my now ex-wife would always comment on how "melancholy" I was during xmas. I never felt comfortable with the way this holiday is celebrated, it just doesn't sit well with me.
Some of the happy memories from my holidays with my kids was making goody boxes for friends, with fudge, buckeyes, and many different types of cookies. My favorite cookies are oatmeal (with raisins), but for xmas I loved snickerdoodles. I wish I could send you some to brighten your day. Cookies were a good memory I have of this time.
I wish good health for you and your cats. Best wishes and Peace.
Yep, holidays can bring you down, big time. Personally, I think it's because we all have this illusion that everyone else is having wonderful time and jingle bells, but I think it's a classic case of greener grass on other side of fence.
Good thing it doesn't last more than a couple of days, Ha?
Hope your cats get better soon - and wishing you a very, very happy new year!
