EDITORIAL - Now is the time to develop your plan for avoiding a blue holiday season and having a merry holiday season. I love Elvis's song Blue Christmas, but I don't want to have one. However, In the best of times, holiday blues strike most people.
If you are missing a significant person in your life the blues are inevitable. You miss them sitting at your table. You miss them coming in your home. You are reminded of how much that person meant to you. Holiday shows don't often help. While some are festive, they often remind us of the voids we have in our lives. We don't always enjoy songs like I'll be home for Christmas because we know that often the home is a past memory. Being reminded of the past is not always warm and fuzzy.
