I do so understand you-all's feelings about this holiday stress. Even if you need to put on a good face for youngun's, you can still step back and breathe. It really is just another day, and will be over before you know it.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Goodness, having a tree, no matter how small, and a gift or two for the children is really enough...that and love and maybe some pie

They are all excited and that's a part of it.

Of course, materialism isn't the reason for the season now is it?
It isn't about what you have or don't have in this life.

Breathe, and allow the children's (and anyone else's) holiday spirit carry you along. Don't think about what ifs, or what was ... be! Truly we can enjoy other's happiness for a day? Just like we do for someone else's birthday party, right? We're there, but if it isn't our party, it's hard to get excited sometimes.

Maybe...by stepping back and breathing some of the Christmas spirit will find you too.
