When the holiday season isn't so bright

When the holiday season isn't so bright

As we draw near to Christmas, I'm reminded that not all of us approach the holiday season in the same way.

For some people, the holiday season is a light at the end of a year-long tunnel that they look forward to with great anticipation. Friends and family --along with turkey and mistletoe "make the season's bright" -- as the old carol says.

For others, the light the holidays bring may be more like the light of an oncoming train that's about to hit.
