I decorated my tree with lights tonight. They are all blue. 100 blue lights give a very soft glow. I placed 100 purple lights around my windows I have not done decorations for years now and it feels good, though rather empty. I was kinda hoping you would drop by and share Christmas with me. Perhaps it would be a new beginning for each of us. I could wrap you a small gift and place it under the tree. What name should I write on the box?
I think most of us who are single have times when we feel lonely. We reach out in our minds to grasp the soulmate who is out there. Sometimes the feelings show up in our blogs. One friend here deleted such a blog she had written because it seemed it made her too vulnerable. I understand that, especially for a lady. For a guy, I think it makes him seem too sappy. Perhaps I too should delete this one but the truth is that sometimes I am vulnerable (and sappy) so I will just be honest. The holidays make me lonely.
I have read a lot of profiles and honestly some of them represent ladies I have felt I could easily fall in love with. All of them have been far away from me which is a real irony since the ones close have either not been interested or interesting. It seems that Murphy's law affects online relationships as well as the real world.
So I will smile and go "Ho, Ho, Ho" and pretend it doesn't matter, for the truth is that it only affects my spirit when I let it. Merry Christmas... steven
PS just a Christmas poem...
My Christmas lights are blue
soft beacon in the night
sending peace to you
until the morning light
So sit and watch with me
and talk til night is day
laughing dreamily
and chase the blues away

Christmas is such a down time for so many people. That's not the way it was ment to be! It was ment to be a happy time but its so hard to be happy when you see everyone else together, and your not. As Dane Cook says, not being in a relationship is like not being invited to the party of the century. Everyone else is invited except you, and when you do get invited, all you want to do is leave! lol. Grass isn't always greener on the other side! Tis better to be alone, and relatively happy, than to be in a relationship and be miserable with your life. When life doesn't invite you to that party of the century, make one for yourself! Can't rely on anyone else to make you happy except yourself.
Enjoy your christmas lights! They have a way of making everything seem brighter, and cheerful! Especially when you choose colors like blue and purple! Personally, I have those "multicolor" lights, because they make me cheerful! And I have blue and silver garland draped all around my room. College is a boring, and despite common thoughts, lonely place. It's not home, so I had to make do, and use some of my traditions from home and make it feel more like home! Like i said, gotta rely on yourself to make you happy!
Please don't delete your blog, vulnerable, sappy or no. They are part of you, and they symbolize a place in your life, and thats what matters. Leave them as they are, unless you want to delete them for personal reasons. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about expressing your loneliness at christmas time. We all have it.
Ho Ho Ho to you too, and a merry christmas! :) Perhaps I should say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas isn't politically correct anymore, but I'll go on saying it anyways! Merry Christmas!

I, too, have missed your writings, Steven.
This one is for you:
I am glad your Christmas lights are blue
as a beacon in the night.
For it reflects a sentimental true-blue heart,
much to my delight.
The lavender lights that 'round your window go,
emit a soft romantic reflection in the newly fallen snow.
To sit and talk with you
would be a welcome treat.
Sharing stories and laughing merrily
in your mountaintop retreat!

I know how this feels. As a male in the army i am often criticized for how sensitive i can be. This reminds me of how this holiday is for me this year. I am in japan far away from the winter holiday wonderland of upstate n.y. I told my mother who is also single that i wasn't going to decorate and she told me that every year she didn't decorate when she was single just made the holiday far more depressing for her to be alone. So here i am today and i received a giant box of Christmas decorations from my mother all the way from the states.Its cheered me up about being alone for the holidays. Its funny how you can be around hundreds of soldiers and be able to feel so lonely.So i will hang my Christmas lights and think of people who have the special someone and be happy for them. - happy holidays to all.
