[QUOTE="JKF, post: 642120, member: 12470"] For some reason this year I'm more in the holiday spirit than I've been in many many years. Not quite sure why but I think it has to do with the fact that I'm beginning to accept things for what they truly are. For a long time Christmas time was horrible for me. It was my mom's favorite holiday and she always made it so special and after she died almost 10 years ago I lost that "magic" feeling. It will never be the same without her. Add to that the stress of difficult child's ongoing issues and spending money we don't have and the hustle and bustle it has truly become more of a nightmare than an exciting holiday. However, like I said, this year feels a bit different. I've been working on radical acceptance (thanks MWM) and I truly think that's helping put some spirit and joy back into my life. I feel at peace this year for the first time in a very long time. [/QUOTE]
