Tons of love to you, my dear. I just skip the holidays as much as possible. We should have a Zoom Hanukah hang out. Let's do it. We don't have to be cheerful or anything.
Great. Let's do it. We could do un-candle lighting every night and not exchange a single gift...but can we have latkes? I'll DM you my contact info, and you send me yours. And invite who ever you want. I can send Zoom invites.
Thank you Tiffany ❤️. I'm counting on you and the rest of my Substack grief posse to get me to spring. We can do this, plus, there's not really any feasible alternative. 🥰
Thank you Mary ❤️ That sounds like a great plan - I do some of my funniest work in between ugly cries 🤣. I’m happy when I can provide a grief break this time of year. 🥰
Thank you Casey 🥰. Yikes, a December birthday to get through too! So many reminders of celebrations past. Agree about the duality. May the rest of December go gently enough for you my friend. ❤️

Oh, thank you Nan! ❤️ Yes, a Zoom Hanukah hang sounds great! Any of the 8 nights works for me. 🥰

We need each other and I’m so grateful for you 🩵🩵🩵
Well shite….You do it again.
Love you so much Amy! You make me spit out my tea laughing and want me to reach out and hug you simultaneously. Xo
Kim, I love you too! ❤️. I'll take a virtual hug anytime 🥰. I love that I made you laugh, but I'm sorry about the tea 🤣. XO
Amy, this is hilarious. I’m saving this to listen to when I get tired of crying and need a good laugh. You nailed it.🤣🌟

Who knew you were a poet too? Always love a good f-bomb to bring it home! Thanks for sharing, Amy, and seriously, thanks for getting it.

Bullseye Amy. Thank you. Also: Are you familiar with the card line Offensive & Delightful? Excellent cards 👌
Thank you Julia ❤️. I was not familiar with the Offensive & Delightful card line, but now I'm obsessed 🥰
You've captured the duality of the experience well.
Steve's birthday falls on the 19th of December, so I have to weather that first.
Thank you Casey 🥰. Yikes, a December birthday to get through too! So many reminders of celebrations past. Agree about the duality. May the rest of December go gently enough for you my friend. ❤️
Perfect. Love you. ❤️
Thank you Bonnie 🥰 ❤️. Someone had to stick up for the grievers, and I was happy to do the honors.
