+Greetings to all friends and family.
+This has been a difficult year for me.
+The end of a relationship, medical issues, problems with the house.
+I'm tired, struggling to feel the holiday spirit.
+2024 is the year I turn 35---perhaps one could label this a mid-life crisis.
+Still, perhaps the feeling of melencoly and listnessness is a holiday feeling just the same.
+There are many stories centering around loss and Christmastime.
