[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 208287, member: 1233"] I was thinking about all the ways we had to "cut back" on activities and stuff for the holidays. Not going into overly decorated stores, avoiding that Christmas aisle if kids were with us, etc.... Esp going to fewer of the family events. I think, in many ways, cutting back let us focus on the meaning of the holiday. Esp cutting back/scaling down the gifts. If they got too much/too big, they expected more and more toys every month. So by cutting everything down we not only had less anxiety, we actually focused more on what the holidays meant to us, instead of running around constantly from event to event. Does that make sense?
