i can’t wait until we pitch the outside lights. Sydney is only 4 ….14 more yrs of this crap! I love the holidays and the reason for the season , but the outside lights are overkill.

I feel ya on all the Christmas hullabaloo. It’s fun, but tiring. Good work on making it your own kind of Christmas all these years.

I think my mother should read this one! While I enjoy Christmas decorations (you saw my face when you debated skipping the tree…..:-)), I would much rather be around the people I love in their happiest state: stress free and relaxed.

To decorate or not to decorate…there is no question! I like your style. It reminds me of ………….ME.

I love every word of what you have written. I see myself, stressed and with tears streaming as I sequestered myself in the back bedroom, scissors, tape, boxes, gifts everywhere with knees holding down the paper as I frantically wrapped the paper around, fastening with scotch tape that stuck on everything but the gifts, one eye on the stack of unwrapped gifts, the other on the wrapped stack that seemed to be slowly growing in the other corner. Not knowing it, but wishing I could be relaxing on the sofa….wishing I could be somewhere…. And then, I think of all the wonderful seasons with all you kids, nieces and nephews, and it was all worth it. BUT GUESS WHAT……I DIDN’T PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR !!!! Is that a kicker or what??? And you did. How absolutely, divinely funny!! This was so touching and I hope to be shared by many, so entertaining to read, and we’ll take your relaxed self as the ultimate gift……we’ll take you anyway we can have you because you are a precious gift to all who know you.
