[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 319116, member: 1514"] I have to say I have always been extremely depressed on Xmas day myself. Normally I can force myself to come out for the gift opening but then I am back under the covers. I never understood it until I got the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. Now everyone just accepts that mom is gonna be a little weird that day. Tony does the cooking on Thanksgiving and Christmas. All of it. I simply cannot handle it at all. I dont know why I am like this either. Now my grown kids dont expect much in the way of gifts. They have taken on the role of gift giving. We do get them one gift each that we think they would like or need. For years when the boys were young Tony and didnt get each other anything because money was tight and we would rather spend on the kids. Now we each get each other something small. I normally get him some clothes and he gets me something for the computer...lol. We do Christmas more for the grandkids now. I think .... depending on if Cory is in jail or not...we may have the tree at his house. His trial date is on 12/14...sigh. What a Xmas present! If he is in jail, we will have the tree here. We will just keep Keyana too busy to realize Daddy isnt here. We will travel and hope for snow! [/QUOTE]
