As a kid I loved it. As an adult I absolutely dread the holiday. There's stress in stretching a thin budget, the "pretending" you have to do with family that you do not like, and even in accepting gifts from people when you can't reciprocate.
I know it's not supposed to be about those things, and if it wasn't I would still be looking forward to it. In reality however, Christmas is commercial - a really long commercial...........
Anyone have any ideas on how to overcome the stress and feel what the season is supposed to be about? I'm looking for answers other than "getting drunk" because been there, done that (although I will be doing it again no doubt!).
Anyway, Merry Christmas from me to all of you. If you don't celebrate it, accept my warmest wishes.
Thanks for all your answers!
