Christmas tips!

[SadieKate]

And this so-called stress that some people experience before/during Christmas..I'm lost. I've always found Christmas Eve and Christmas Day just lovely and pleasant. Some years, I have hosted my family at my home when I lived in the same city as they.

Hmm, you must not have had a workaholic father who was the music director/organist/choir director for both the youth and adults, meaning he had extra rehearsals and pageants that time of year. As his child, my only time with him was during these church functions or as a student in his classroom. Add in tyranical grandparents and Xmas was just a joy for everyone in the family. I could go on and on about how Xmas highlights the dysfunction in families.

Did I ever tell you about getting drunk with my MIL one Xmas morning while we waited for my family to sashay themselves over for brunch at least two hours late?

My tip is to move far away from family if necessary to preserve your sanity.

And hug your hubby extra hard.
