Top Comments of this video!! :3
My husband passed on Christmas Night a few years ago. While I try to keep my feelings to myself, it's something else entirely when people expect you to be just as giddy as they are.
Just days before his passing, I had a store clerk try to tease and joke with me, but I just kept quiet. That prompted comments of my being a Grinch, Sour Puss and Debbie Downer. I burst into tears, and lashed out that my husband of 25 years was at home, in Hospice care, dying, wouldn't see the New Year, and the clerk wanted me to be *happy?!
I regret the way I handled it, but neither should I have been called names for being quiet and withdrawn.
Truly, we never know what other people are going through. Kindness is never the wrong response.

My father died on the 24th of December 2004 from respiratory infection. He had been a heavy smoker all his life. He was 46 when he died.
My thoughts also go to those who daily live their death at the hands of the Great Killer called Loneliness. It gets particularly nasty around this time of the year.

Didn’t lose a family member or anything like that but I did just have my work truck with all of my tools stolen right out of my driveway a couple days ago ): and that has been enough to ruin my Christmas. Can’t imagine losing a loved one. God bless everyone. Much love to all and especially the Bedtime stories team!

Christmas has always been a depressing time for my family. My grandma and grandpa's first home burned to the ground on their first Christmas together. One of my uncles (their oldest son) had a toddler daughter who was trampled by a horse on Christmas eve shortly before he had to go off to war (in Vietnam), and one of my OTHER uncles (their youngest son) was killed in a major car crash on Christmas eve...
Anyway,, "MERRY CHRISTMAS" everybody!!😁

The Fort Worth three. I really looked into that case- the main hired private investigator on the case “committed suicide.” But this was after it was thought he made progress on the case. All I can say is that I doubt it was a stranger that took the girls in that case, but rather they went with someone they knew.😢

The last story reminded me of a terrifying incident that I hadn't thought of in years; and it was, oddly enough, something that happened when I was travelling back to college after Christmas break. My family lived quite far out in the country. To get to the interstate, I had to drive for about ten miles on a winding two-lane road that went through a deeply wooded area. No houses were allowed in that area, so there was very little traffic. As I reached the halfway point, I noticed something in the roadway. It was a man lying across the centerline, and as I drew closer I saw that he was shouldering a rifle to aim it at my windshield. What could I do? I had only seconds to think. It was impossible to turn round because of the deep ditches on each side of the road. And I knew immediately that it was foolhardy to stop. So I did the only thing I could: I floored the gas pedal and dove straight ahead even though I ran the risk of hitting the man. He rolled out of the way at the last instant, and he never did fire the gun. He could quite easily have shot me. It was general knowledge that a lot of bad things had happened along that road but it was the closest route to the highway, so I had to use that road again for years and every time I did I thought about the man with the gun. But since I've long ago moved away, I have stopped wondering about why a person would do such a thing and wondering what would have happened to anyone who was foolish enough to stop or slow down when faced with a gun like that.

The Season of Sadness episodes are merely side dishes. Stick with us tomorrow for the main course. Also, if you haven't already, nip over to Wartime Stories for something truly special. Luke has done an episode on The Hound of Mons and it kicks ass. You may also recognise some of the voice actors in it 😉
