It can be easy to get wrapped up in all the flurry of the holidays and forget that there are people out there who aren't experiencing all the warmth, love, stress, and excitement of Christmas; it's easy to forget how difficult this time of year can be for many of us.
Academy Award-winning actress Brenda Fricker has given a new interview that will make you feel grateful instead of annoyed the next time your children pester you about what's under the tree or what'll be for dinner!
Brenda has a pretty impressive IMDb page, including My Left Foot, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
It's one of the best Christmas movies of all time if you ask me.
"Why does this keep coming around? That is not me. I am not the bag lady in Home Alone 2," Piers said on an episode of Good Morning Britain earlier in December.
She opened up about it in a recent interview.
"I'm old and I live alone. It can be very dark," she went on. "I just turn the phone off and put the blinds down."
I don't know about you, but I'm already digging out my phone book to give a call to every grandparent and great-aunt or -uncle I have!
"I don't want to be sounding kind of negative but it is a different kind of Christmas, that's all."
Brenda explained that Christmas wasn't the hardest holiday for her.
Brenda explained that she has "no one to turn around to hug or smile at" when the church bells ring in the new year, adding, "I can't escape the bells."
Well, we hope Brenda can have a peaceful holiday season, and we hope she enjoys her programs with her dogs!
Pets really are the best company anyway!
