The holidays are a time of sorrow for many. Usually it is the sorrow of loss. Some people have lost a spouse; others have lost a child. Still others have lost not a person, but an idea of where they thought their lives would go. All of these people grieve the loss of their dreams. This grief clouds the holidays, making it impossible for people to enjoy the spirit of the season.
