[QUOTE="totoro, post: 216751, member: 3155"] I get it. I can't get away from it... I beg for some distance from it. I beg for the commercialism to be taken out of it. The in-laws have ruined this for me. The years we were in Idaho were nice and quiet in the snow. They are pushing for decorating this weekend at their house, they *brought a tree and 'some stuff'* down from Chicago! I said no to spending the night for the girls I said maybe an hour or two. I bought a little live tree for N. We will pot it later and keep it. I bought a couple of educational gifts for the girls. I try to stretch it out over the week before so it is not one huge day. But it still ends up being the BIG day. Too much. Just too much for the kids. I just want then to have a nice time, it turns into the whole, "Here open this, open this, open this" I would skip it if I could, I don't feel right celebrating it. But I do for the girls. Mostly for the in-laws. Of course I love the cards! That means somethings to me... [/QUOTE]
