Christmas this year

So I'm having some sad thoughts about Christmas this year. My family just stayed with us for three nights on their way to Canada and they just left a few hours ago and I'm sad. This is my first major holiday (minus last Thanksgiving) without my family. It does help that my family is scattered this Christmas and they're not all gathered around the Christmas tree without me, but I'm still sad. Don't get me wrong, its not that I'm dreading Christmas, it is just going to be different and I don't do different very well. I'll be ok after this first initial Christmas, but for now, I'm just trying to be happy. Merry Christmas everyone!!
