Blue feelings abound for when you feel like your family and even some friends do not really want you around. How would this make you feel? There is a Christmas special called 'The Year Without a Santa Claus' and somewhere in the middle of this cartoon a little girl is coloring a blue house with a blue Christmas tree, and she is singing 'Blue Christmas'. When I feel blue at this time of year, I think that I am not really alone and it kind of makes me feel a little better hearing this song, bet that sounds strange doesn't it, but it works most of the time.
Having a Blue Christmas really isn't that bad really. Blue and green Christmas lights and blue and green decorations are pretty and soothing actually from all the bright colors of the multi-colored lights that usually abound. People on those sugar highs and energy drinks buzzing around and even at times complaining about the season. It does make a person think what is really important to themselves and others. The real reason of Christmas is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and when I think of him truly I am not alone even in a crowd that I feel really does not want me around.

Blue Christmas
What is a Blue Christmas? A Blue Christmas is when to me people are feeling low and feeling left out. You kind of get used to the feeling of being left out, but when they try to include you, you can tell that their heart is really not for it shows on them when they are not really looking and talking to you but looking around for something or someone. You graciously say, "Go ahead over there I don't mind."

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Great essay. Sometimes people forget the meaning of Christmas and the stress that comes with it if people are alone.
Great Job! Now I can have the Christmas I want with my Dad.
You are so right. sometimes people forget the true meaning of Christmas
I have always loved this time of the year, whatever the colour. And Blue Christmas is one of my fave carols - guess it’s Elvis!
As an adult, I have always enjoyed Christmas because it was when I could spend time with my sons and my parents. Then dad died! My younger son moved to another state with his wife. My older boy and my mom were all that was left. We began alternating holidays: one year was Thanksgiving, then we'd switch for Christmas. Now, mom's gone to be with dad. My husband's health is failing so driving to where my younger boy lives, doesn't happen. He's also unwell so coming to my house isn't happening either. I get to see my older boy and his family every other year (the do need every other year to spend with her family). So, every other year for me, is a blue Christmas. Thank you for sharing. It gave me a chance to share, as well.
