2016 has been such a horrible year that I decided not to do Christmas. Of course this is easier for me than it would be for people with kids and large families. But once I decided to not do it was like a large burden lifted off my shoulders. I will send a few cards and get my mom something but that's about it. Not sure when I will see her to give her gift, but it will happen eventually. Other's that I talked to about it were okay with it and agreed that there is just too much going on right now to even enjoy it. Does anyone else feel that way? Do you think that the elections, and all the killing going on here and around the world has made an impact on this? I know it has for me. Then dealing with our CPTSD plus own personal traumas, it's a lot to digest.
