The Most Wonderful Time of Year
When I was a little girl, every year immediately following Thanksgiving dinner, my mind would automatically go to one thing, Christmas time. I would beg my grandparents to get down the Christmas tree and ornaments so we could decorate them that night. After a wait, my grandpa would pull down the ladder the attic and climb up. Each year I would ask to go up to help, but would always be told no, my grandma was always sure that I would fall down the ladder.

Family...What Family?
Christmas is right around the corner and I'm looking forward for some well-deserved R&R alone. According to a YouGov study, 11 percent of Americans spent the holidays solo. More specifically, holidays that different people celebrate in the month of December. Recently, one of my coworkers asked what my plans are for Christmas. I replied that I was planning on spending them alone. He told me that I needed people during the holidays, but I insisted and expressed that I wanted to spend them all by myself. While his kind gesture was well-intentioned, it's okay for me to be alone.

Surviving Loss and Grief
Misfortune and sadness are widespread encounters, contacting everybody eventually throughout everyday life. Whether it's the demise of a friend or family member, the conclusion of a friendship, or even the passing of a task or a lifestyle, distress can overpower. The method involved with enduring misfortune and exploring sadness is profoundly private, however figuring out the phases of sorrow, permitting oneself to grieve, and finding backing can make the excursion somewhat less segregating.

A Christmas Morning of Sausages, Bacon, and Love. Runner-Up in Tales of Hearth Challenge.
Angelika woke with a smile to the smell of sausages and bacon cooking. It was hardly the most traditional Christmas breakfast but had always been a much-loved aspect of a Higley family Christmas. "Nothing better than starting the festivities off with a nice hearty breakfast, darling," her father said every year. Although she was now, at 15, a little old to be getting up before dawn to shake and rattle presents under the tree, she still loved this day and time of the year. "Angel, breakfast's up!" called her mother, breaking the silence, she was enjoying.

Christmas with Joyce
The living room of an elderly man. Tidy but showing signs of wear. Walking around is an elderly man, trim and presentable, his posture slightly stooped. He is shuffling, humming a Christmas tune. Snow is falling, the light muted by the weather outside. He is alone.
