Well, my Christmas turned out ok, I just had a lot of "unexpected" things come up and it took me a while to get my house in order because the PTSD brought me some unexpected surprise challenges too.

I usually have my husbands family to my house for brunch and then I go and see my parents. But this year my mother in law didn't come because she suddenly came down with a stomach flu Christmas eve. However her husband and my brother in law came along with my daugter. But because they could have carried the flu virus with them and exposed me and my husband, I ended up not going to see my elderly parents so I didn't expose them. My parents are 88 and 87 and my dad cannot drive anymore and I didn't want to take the chance of exposing them to this flu. So I felt bad that I didn't get to see my parents.

I just felt Christmas came too fast this year too.
