I have a hard time at Christmas. We are in expectation to be happy, to have a loving family time, to spend money that we don't have on gifts and to find the extra energy to do all this. The give to the poor thing too...why just at Christmas, why not all the time, the hypocracy of that bothers me. The hype for one day starts way too soon too. I put on my fake face and go about my business and am glad when it's all over.
