Introvert. Widowered twelve years ago on December 5...my worst day. Sober forty one years, now.
The holidays and their crass, forced "Be Happy or else" attitude has always depressed me.
When I'm not in a Meeting, I read, make musical instruments, stream movies, and wait for Twelfth Night to come along to finish the season.
