[QUOTE="witzend, post: 395048, member: 99"] Honestly, I'm looking forward to one of my best Christmas' ever, because we aren't doing anything, and for the first time, no one expects us to do anything. We are going to have Christmas dinner with friends at their house, which is nice. But if we weren't doing that I'd still be happy to not do anything. I have lowered my expectations for Christmas to a point where it doesn't really exist for me. I know that some people think that it just isn't possible, but it is. I have more Christmas spirit this year than I have in many years. I joined a choir and will have a small party at our house after we sing our big performance next week. I'm borrowing ornaments and decorations from my friend who got a divorce and isn't decorating. I don't even feel like I have to get out of town this year because it really does seem like any other day, especially that it's a Saturday and husband doesn't get time off of work in any case. Give yourself a break, and enjoy the day for what it is. Remember that the person whose life we celebrate that day would not want you to be unhappy because it is His day and your daughter was thoughtless. Do what you can to distance yourself from the hype.
