I personally think SS is a hit or miss. I have always had F*U*N no matter what comes for the simple reason someone took the time to put something together for a stranger. that in and of it's self is the biggest gift.
Christmas has been the hardest time of the year for me since my mom passed 20 yrs ago.
I don't have family or close friends. I have a quilt site with quilt friends.
This will be the only gift I get to share the day alone. please don't feel sorry for me that is not my point.
I am asked to go places but choose not to. I have a brain injury and those situations are awkward...they are not home with my mom.
I fill my life by making quilts for the children's hospitals and the abuse shelters and foster kids. That fills a place in my heart.
I'm rambling and my point to you all is to just enjoy the SS and not worry. you will do your best and that is all that matters.
