[QUOTE="Ltlredhen, post: 6851, member: 2123"] Thanks everyone, I think one of the reasons it is turning so bad so fast is that before I kept him home and we just didn't deal with it much. This year he's in prek and the holiday is pretty much front and center. Remember, we were so lucky to get the one teacher of three at school who is PRO holiday. That's OK but with one of our kiddos it is a nightmare. She is already playing Christmas music. Last year we decorated for Christmas like the week before. Very low key. We are fast approaching his 5th birthday which we will celebrate a week after Thanksgiving (I can't believe we have actually made it 5 whole years, lol). Any attention brought to the holidays is met with frenzy. It is like he just cannot handle anything outside his little routine. One thing leads to another and another and we are off [img]:wildone:[/img]. I thought about the advent calender and something like the chain but I know we will spend the entire next month explaining constantly why we can't just change to another date or take off the chains all through the day. [img]:hammer:[/img] SRL... as I read your post I could just see this unfolding at our house. This is the way my difficult child reacts. Never occurred to me to tell him the truth [img]:blush:[/img] about Santa. I can see that as a definite possibility. I just never know what will be the catalyst that will set him off. Right now he is crying because I won't get in the car right now and take him to see Santa. It is 7:30 AM and completely out of the realm of possibility. Not to mention the second he sees Santa he will probably hide behind me or run away. The minute we get in the car he will start back up crying he didn't get to see Santa. Over and over. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/919Mad.gif[/img] Anyway, thanks for the suggestions I am willing to try anything at this point. Donna [/QUOTE]
