who do you miss this christmas?

I don't miss anyone..The person at the center of this celebration is Jesus and if we have Him..this is all we really need..This is what I am coming to learn.

This year... I miss my cousin. He hasn't passed, but he's in jail for missing a hearing. I usually get a phone call from him every Christmas and it was a little depressing when I didn't get one today.

i really miss my family, since am her in kuwait for long time, also my grandma & grandpa i never visit thier grave. hope to visit my hometown again, i really miss philippines.

This is my first Christmas without my youngest son, Gaje. He was six when he was killed on May 19 of this year. I miss him very much. Each Christmas, my husband and I would give gifts from the kids to each other. I would usually buy him a shirt or sweater with his favorite football team on it and he would always buy me this bathroom set that has lotion, body spray, and other things in it that is only available around Christmas because it is a Christmas special addition. Each Christmas, he would have our youngest son to present it to me and I would have our oldest daughter to give his to him. This year was different though, Gaje wasn't there to give me my gift. We all went down to the cemetery and decorated it for Christmas and made it look pretty. I miss him and wish that he was here. I use to be a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, but now I am not sure of this. The holidays have been very hard this year and I am glad that they are almost over with. I celebrated his seventh birthday at the cemetery and it was one of the hardest things that I have had to do. I will keep each of you in my thoughts.

for me its my aunt and uncle who already passed away. me and my siblings fondly call them "nanay" (mother) and "tatay" (father) because they are the ones who took care of us when my mother was in the office working (she's a single parent). its almost 5 years since they passed away and we miss them everytime there is an occasion. ^__^

that's sad... miss my granny too

I am sorry for your loss. It is difficult to adjust to the absence of a dearly loved one. This Christmas it is my precious father whom I miss the most. He passed away a couple months ago, unexpectedly. I am still grieving for him the loss is agonizing at times.

I really do not miss those in my life that have passed over because they are so strongly connected to me from another realm, but a physical presence hug is missed from them and eventually a sense of being in their arms will dissipate the need to feel a flesh-to-flesh sensation instead of the spiritual rvelation their essence is showing through me . . . sharing the light and happy holidays, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire http://www.linkreferral.com/cgi-bin/linkreferal/adwel.cgi?oldrefid=21002

I always miss my parents at Christmas....always will. They both loved it so much and made a spectular event out of it. But on a daily basis I miss them too!

I definitely miss my grandparents - but they have been gone for years. My aunt just passed away a few months ago so i miss her terrribly. It was very unexpected and it was really hard not having her around for christmas.

my ex husband,my sons father who recently passed away.even though we were not together anymore we were still great mates.i feel for my son as it was the first christmas without his dad.cheers sue

i miss my family back in the philippines! i am abroad studying in costa rica. this is my first time to spend Christmas away frommy family. and in the philippines, Christmas is a big celebration with a family. i simply miss them.

I miss my grandmother also, my dad's mom. She past away in May 2007. Last Christmas, my grandparents were both with us. It was really hard and strange, but I know she's in a better place now. I know she definitely had the best Christmas ever this year! I also missed my brother. He's still alive, but he was away in Arkansas with his girlfriend for Christmas. He's the only boy in my family with five girls and sisters, so it was really strange without him. It's just like there's an empty spot there that you know someone once filled. Do you ever feel that way during the holidays? I suppose that proves how important family is during special events like that. I'm very much looking forward to visiting with my brother and his girlfriend for New Year's 2008, though! And I know I will see my grandma again sometime very soon. Great discussion. Thanks!

She's in a better place now. Be happy for her, but always remember how much she meant to you, and don't ever forget her presents in your life!

I miss my Grandparents too but they are still here. They just live far away and we cant get to see them very often. Life could end at any moment and we should really find the time before it is to late. I really miss them all the time.

oh well, i miss my ex boyfriend..we just broke up before this christmas and i know he is spending his christmas now with a girl and the girl's daughter..anyway, its not like they wont be spending it together even if there is still us..good break for me anyway but somehow it will take sometime to neglect the sadness..

I terribly miss my huhsband who works away from us. There is this only one particular Christmas that he spend with us. The rest, he was away. But I do understand because he is working hard for us. Especially for the future of our kids.

For me, i just miss my classmates because its been a long time since i last saw them. I still enjoy my vacation days because i know that class time is very near and i will have many things to do.

i miss my bestfriend that is in the US Navy :( He ships out to Afghanistan 12/30/07 ...

This Christmas, I missed my grandmother. I really wished she spent Christmas with us.
