The First Christmas After Divorce
I just finished the first Christmas after my divorce. I never expected or wanted to be divorced. Does anyone?

Single and Satisfied During the Holidays?
We know many married women have high or unrealistic expectations about the holidays and get all bent out of shape if theirs is not a replica of the Norman Rockwell scene in their homes. I also think we forget that for the single woman it is just as tough when the world is screaming “be married and have a couple of kids.” There are single women who are out there everyday wondering where they fit in a society that discounts and ignores single adults.
