Bah humbug, that guy was a dıck! Even if you hate Christmas, you make some effort for the one you love. I'm Jewish yet I still cook all day on Christmas for my partner. You do it because it makes them happy.

Ha, I love the little cardboard trailer, so cute!! Your new roommate is cute too. I don’t celebrate Christmas, have not done so since I was 10 but I do respect others needs and wants for the holidays, I mean it’s one day a year, yes I suffer through three months of commercialized overkill, but if I’m with someone and it’s meaningful to them, I’m going to support that.

I stopped celebrating Christmas after my son died and in all honesty it was so freeing! No more pressure! I get to do whatever I want in the month of December with no expectations. I had 24 wonderful Christmas with my son and that was plenty, I'm so good doing OTHER things..it's quite alright making December be what you want it to be..go gloriously over the top or don't celebrate at all, find what creates peace and happiness within you and do something wonderful and kind for someone else! That's a good feeling that we all should be doing every month! Blessings to everyone

I'm an atheist and celebrate Christmas with my family. I love the Christmas season. The lights, decorations, music, food, and togetherness with loved ones. I don't need to worship a god to have a nice day. My country, USA, tends to treat anyone who isn't a Christian as a less important or valuable person. So many people are hyper judgemental. It's absurd. I'm even the one who puts up the tree every year and I'll gladly tell others "Merry Christmas." All this "war on Christmas" talk is pure garbage. This godless heathen loves Christmas as much as any "Christian.". 😆

LOL. This describes my experience to the tee, including the cat! Merry Christmas to all! A tree really brightens the winter blues

When I met my husband I told him Christmas was a big thing to me and if he couldn't deal with that leave now before it was two late. He proposed 8 months later on Christmas Eve. Gotta love a man who can take a hint 😂😍

Enjoy and congratulations! Beautiful tree and kitty!

Happy you are doing well. Rescue kitty is a great idea.

My husband found an 'upgrade' are 36 years of marriage. Christmas without him has turned in to a joyful celebration with my children and grandchildren. I promise you, the best is yet to come!!

Me too!! No recue cat but 1st tree I actually looked forward to this year. And a Christmas Village!!

Merry Christmas to you!

His leaving was the best gift he could give you!

Who the hell is Noel??? I ALWAYS see it at Christmas time everywhere and still don't know what it is about?

They're doing better than all right, I'd say.

Worth the trade! Merry Christmas!

Yes you are Sis!

Congratulations! Be good to yourself.

Thangs are looking up!

I traded the ex-wife for cats and immediately became happy. You will too!

You should have just put up a tree anyway. It was his problem if he didn't like Christmas.

My ex was Jewish, and went out of this way to celebrate both holidays with me. Some of his relatives weren't exactly pleased that he went all out on Christmas for me, but he told them it was his joy to make me happy, and if they didn't like it, they were welcome to stay home for Hanukkah and not celebrate that with us either. They came for both holiday celebrations, and I think they had a good time.

Beautiful

Alright 👍😊👍👍

Congratulations on your first Christmas with kitty. I hope you had a wonderful time.

I have black/white kittens also.

Both of those are ten times better than living with an a-hole. Sweet kitty!

happier than you have ever been in the last 18 yrs. !

May you gets loads of joy in your new chapter of life! One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Kitties are awesome and so is doing what YOU want to do!

I hope you enjoyed Christmas as much you could. X

Best Christmas ever ! Love it - your ex was a grinch

18 years? You guys were patient or masochist

You're doing much better than alright, you are living your life the way you want to and that's much more important than you realize! Take it from this old 53 year old "MeeMee"! Societal expectations kept me hostage for a long time and just 3 yrs ago I began living my life on MY terms. This is the BEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL time of your life! Be YOU - that's all you gotta do and the rest will fall into place...Happy Holidays and a great Great New Year in your new life!

You are doing so Great!! ❤️

Screw him! That's a beautiful tree and a cute little kitty. You do all the Christmas things you want this year and let him go be a d**k elsewhere.

Your life is is going to be great from here on out. You are Woman!

Much love to you and your kitty

YaY you!! Enjoy your new chapter

YAY! Lucky you! I'm so happy you are going to have a chance at a great life.
