#holidays alone

[boyelijah]

I want to go see the Christmas lights with you. Holding hands and not caring about anyone else around us. Sipping hot chocolate and cuddling up close to you to ward off the cold. Then going home and making cookies with you. You let me lick the dough from the spoon while I sit up on the counter and you stand between my legs. When I’m done, you say you want to have a taste too, so you pull me close and kiss me. While the cookies bake, we cuddle up on the couch under a blanket, my stuffed monkey in my arms, and watch cute Christmas movies. Only the two of us exist when I’m safe and warm in your arms. Knowing that I’ll fall asleep in the same way in our bed tonight.

Sometimes, I want this so much that it physically hurts.

I feel like at some point I came across a post or website where you entered your into and were matched with a Jewish family that would ""adopt"" you for holidays , does this sound familiar to anyone??

A Lonely Hearts Club Holiday Chat: You’re Invited

So I had a little idea.

I've seen posts from people offering support this holiday season to those whose family are unfriendly about their identity, or their lifestyle, or who are in some sort of closet for a variety of reasons, or who will have someone at the table who abused them.

These people are awesome. Thank you for what you do.

But what about those of us with no one?

Whose family is dead. Whose family is so abusive that we had to leave all of them. Whose family threw us out. Whose family is cut off from us for one reason or another, perhaps through immigration or war or whatever.

Well, how about this.

Let's have a little get-together for those of us with no family to go to this holiday. Let's hang out, and chat, and maybe play cards or share recipes, maybe even do a spot of magic, or drinking, or crying perchance, for those of you who are new to the club. I get it. We veterans are here for you. Or hell, maybe the vets need to cry a bit too. It’s hard being this hard all the time.

If you guys are interested, I'll be hosting a Rabb.it chat on December 25th at 6pm until 9pm EST at a minimum. We might go later if we’re feelin’ it. Given the focus of my blog, there will probably be a bit of a magical/witchy bent to it, but basically, if you see this and it applies to you, you're welcome.

Also, let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to watch.

Here's your link. (Knock on Dec 25 after 6pm and I’ll letcha in.)

And here’s your ticket.

Rules are simple. Don’t be a friggin’ douchebag. Don’t be judgey. Don’t be cruel. I will boot you, but only after I have hexed you.

S’it. Pretty simple, right?

Come chill in Germ's room. We have cookies. And gin. And screaming jars.

This feels more like a punishment than a celebration.

2018; What Do You Have For Me?

Well Readers, I survived. I survived the Holidays. The first Holiday alone, not really alone, just single. You see it in movies, hear about it in songs and read about it in novels, hell you’ve more than likely experienced it yourself. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I figured challenge accepted. I could do it, I knew I could.. I just didn’t realize I’d still struggle a bit, nor did I…
