		<description>December is one of the hardest months according to studies.  I can see why you are so sombre.  Hey, you were born in December so there must be some positive sparks to it.  Just because people in your family have untimely deaths does not mean you must succumb to one.  I strongly believe we control 90% of what happens to us.  Take some chocolate time, reflect on all that is good, and in the New Year allow yourself to throw off the throwblanket, toss the flannels pjs and uncocoon the new you.  It is hard, it is a huge challenge, but I know you are up to it.  You have many friends here. You may not know our faces, but I hope you can feel our hearts.

Come to Toronto and I will throw you a birthday party for the ages!

Cheers!</description>

		<description>I had no idea this month was so terrible for you.  I'm SO SORRY.  My sister died 12/14 in my time zone, 12/15 in hers.  It sucks.  

My goal is to not give a lot of gifts but to focus on the simple pleasures of Christmas this year.  Lights on the tree, hot cocoa with marshmallows, all the wonderful Christmas movies I remember from childhood.  The Bells of St. Maries is my FAVORITE.  

You've been an inspiration to me since I found 3FC.  I'm sending you the biggest, warmest, most low-calorie cocoa laden hug I can muster!!!

Merry Christmas!!!</description>

		<description>Know how you feel about December. I lost my mom on Christmas Day and it has NEVER been the same! When they came in and took down the Christmas tree and put in funeral chairs and guest books and that white wreath that pretty much changes your perception of Christmas from then on. My kids were small at the time so I tried to hold it together on Christmases for their sake but it's never been easy!
I too hope December will pass quickly in a way but then my only daughter turns 18 on the 28th and is getting married on January first so I will be on an emotional rollercoaster right there with ya for awhile.
Take care and do the best you can you only have a few days left then the New Year blooms!!
Hugs,
Judy</description>

		<description>December's not your month, aye? I have troubles with March. I hope that you manage to rest yourself, and somehow in there will find a glimmer of light. I'm sending you Good Wishes for your birthday, and for your anniversary and for Christmas...Love, RubyJean</description>

		<description>I really hope everything looks up for you. I'm sorry December is such a hard month for you, especially since it's Christmas season AND your birthday. At least the new year will start out better than it ended, right? Try your best to get through this month. Don't try and lose weight, focus on taking care of yourself emotionally. Once January rolls around and you're feeling more up to, start your process again. 

Good luck, and again, I hope everything gets better for you.</description>
