This made me Cry 'Happy Tears'. I just finished telling my neighbor last night (after she said she spent $500 shopping yesterday), that I'm not Doing Christmas this year. (She doesn't know I got Scammed, I'm too ashamed). She can tell by how I've been acting that 'something is very wrong', but she doesn't know what it is. I usually have my Family here for Thanksgiving, but I can't even think past today to plan it, or even ask my Family to buy the trimmings. As for Christmas, I usually have everyone here the week before Christmas, about 55 of us, for a gathering to celebrate the Season, and to save everyone money, we don't exchange gifts. Last year I bought everyone a ceramic house from the Christmas Tree Shop, and a Knick Knack for each one of the children (age appropriate). I can't afford to buy for my grown girls (2); or my 4 grandchildren, but since I told them about 'what happened to me', they won't expect anything. I'm the one that's beating myself up about this. I haven't talked to my Mom in over a month (82 who I used to talk to daily), because I can't hide my pain on the phone. She's not internet savvy, so she wouldn't understand, & I wouldn't want to worry her. 2007 is a brand new year, and so Christmas will have to wait til then God Bless you all for being strong, and for being here for me.
