10:55 pm - Blue Christmas
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) inhumandecency recently linked to this story about "Blue Christmas" church services, which he rightly calls a "brilliant piece of compassionate ministry."
Somber Blue Christmas services are being held at many churches around the country this year, in recognition of what psychologists have long known: that the contrived good cheer of the holiday season can actually make some people who are dealing with heartbreak feel worse. The Blue Christmas services confront feelings of grief and loss head-on.
This has inspired me to post this entry. Please consider this a safe space free of holiday cheer. Please feel free to talk about your heartbreak, grief, or misery without any fear of ruining people's holiday cheer. I'm leaving this entry public so that you can post anonymously should you want to.

10:56 pm - Tell me anything meme, from moon_whisper
Leave me an anonymous comment pouring your heart out. Say anything. Rant. Tell me your stories, your secrets, those things no one ever asks but you wish to tell. Tell me about your love, your hate, your indifference, your joy. Tell me about what's inside of you when you're reading through these entries on your friends list, and tell me why you continue to come back here. Tell me anything. Tell me what you really think of me or yourself. Anything.
Post anonymously [by selecting the anonymous box]. Speak honestly, because there isn't any censure here. Post as many times as you like. One faceless wonder to another. You don't have to be on my friends list. You can just be stopping through. It doesn't matter.
And then, pass it on.
