[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 396514, member: 4264"] Thank you all for understanding and for some perspective. I like that saying out of buck. I guess I"m out. I'll just have to work harder to get it back. I have decided traditions be darned, things are different this year from lack of ability to do certain things so perhaps its a year to go with the flow and really shake it up. We also do a double movie watching day in pj's for Christmas day. Just difficult child, s/o and myself since easy child goes to her dads for Christmas day. Well difficult child said he won't let me sit for that long in a movie theater because he knows how I'll hurt afterwards and need miss half the movies anyhow because of running to the bathroom. He was so sweet about it actually. So that tradition is to the wayside. We are just staying home and plan to play games etc. My cousin and her partner have decided to come spend part of the day with us too which is a nice addition since we are breaking routine anyhow. I've decided our family gift we will open today because we're busy with family tomorrow and then the following day we have other gifts that I know will mean we don't have time for the family gift. (It's a Kinect system) So once S/O gets in from picking up last minute grocery items I forgot in my mood last night, easy child and difficult child will be opening it and we can spend today playing as a family. I have NEVER allowed early gift opening like that. Needless to say I anticipate thrilled kids today. Hopefully easy child's excitement for the holidays will rub off on me today. She's of course curious about the gifts under the tree but more so she's excited for our guests tomorrow, she calls it a party. My cousins son came to spend the night last night and they are giggling up a storm. She's counting days to meeting her new aunt and to our new years eve party we are having. Perhaps I just need to immerse myself in activities in the house today with easy child, surely all that good will and joy and delight will spill over right? I do enjoy the time spent gift wrapping.

I think I'll go to my room and put on carols and finish that up and see if that doesn't infuse me with some holiday hoo rah.
