Christmas is sad alone in SoCal miles from a family I cannot afford to visit. Christmas will be sadder when I have the baby because then I will wish for a family even more. With a baby, we won't ever be able to fly home, not to NewEngland, not to Europe to visit Husbands family.
Christmas trees are $40 now. We have no money to buy ornaments, and no space to store them, and no desire to move ornaments when the rent goes up and we have to move a year or two.
I see that the "Christmas" that I knew as a child was luxury for the families of the past. As renters in SoCal on a budget, Christmas is just another day to feel alone.
