When faced with the onslaught of Xmas, I don my kevlar vest and 18 hole boots, put paint on my face and wait for the enemy

I love Xmas, but am totally drained by the experience. Put the tree up if you can. I do every year regardless of how I feel, even if my family finds me a shivering, blubbering mess under the tree on Xmas morning.

You might be surprised at how much that shining tree and the joy it brings to your kids, brings you a bit further out of the funk.

Take good care of your precious selves, and remember to find time to "reboot".
