We are all hurting in every way right now. Everything costs so much, just putting gas in the car, if you have one, is painful. You are not alone. We are all feeling this squeeze right now. You did everything you could. You kept the lights on, you paid the rent. You worked your ass off.
This will be a christmas to remember, not because presents were abundant, but because you fought through it, and provided what you could. It's more than enough. If you are alone this Christmas, you are sadly mistaken. You have all of us here. Just speak out, we are family.
It's only a "dark winter" if we make it so.
Even last year I heard Christ based songs on the radio around this time.
This year I have yet to hear a single one. Not that I listen all that often, though in 10+ hours of play time per week I expected to hear something.
I have mentioned it to others around me & that all have already noticed it, or are amazed that they don't hear one at least once during their commute.
Not saying they aren't played at all, I just have not experienced it & haven't had a neighbor hear one yet when discussed in passing.
