Yes, the holidays do sometimes have that bittersweet tang to them for me as well, when some people that I really wish were here, aren't. It's good that you've found a way to feel close to them. I'd love to hear you sing! I'd imagine the Christmas program is beautiful at the church. And I definitely agree about the commercial aspect rubbing you wrong-- I hate that it's become so much about pouring money into big businesses, rather than giving of yourself to loved ones.
