This day should be a holiday as well. It should celebrate (acknowledge) all the family crap that happens during the holidays. As long as I've been married, every Christmas brought more stress than good tidings. I'm clearly cursed. I mean, of all holidays to have heightened stress and discord in the home, it's Christmas???
In my household, the spirit of Christmas is easier to capture from shopping than with roasted chestnuts on an open fire. Sad, but true. I'm well aware of what Christmas should be all about, but it's more elusive to properly enjoy Christmas in my family than it is to find a new iPhone on sale.
Thus, I dread the holidays.
No wisdom tonight. Just a hearty wish - Merry Eve of Christmas Eve!
