[QUOTE="Jena, post: 222026, member: 4514"] donna that's so cool and something to truly look forward to. i'm happy for you. i also know what you mean regarding christmas's past. when i was a kid i'd be thrilled to open 2 or 3 gifts and i took such good care of them. we could never afford a big tree so mom would put a tiny little lit one on a table, it was simply yet it was my favorite day and for some reason i appreciate it so much more than my kids do now. it was more about the ppl who were there, my grandma who would sleep on the couch and await me to wake up, she has passed now i miss her almost everyday. it was stuff like that. i think this year i'm going to try my best to help my kids understand what it's really about, family friends all that good stuff. yet it's so commercialized that it draws attention away from the simple pleasures. I also think that all of us dont' hate christmas, we love it, it's the stresses that surround our holidays that are what puts us under and over. our lives are challenging enough than when holidays hit it becomes the super juggle.
