you know, we all try to make others happy, and never seem to consider what makes us happy. so, i'll ask you - what will make you happy? dont' think of what your family wants from you, don't think of what your husband's needs are or aren't - just, think what will make YOU happy. don't get confused with all the negatives around you. you might find it's not any of the things you thought were making you unhappy and just a lack of care of what people want for you to make YOUR life happy - for you it just might be wanting to stay home and enjoying YOUR OWN family. don't let people push your buttons, just think of what would truly make you happy and then tell everyone this is what I chose to do with MY Christmas - please enjoy YOUR Christmas - don't let others ruin it for you. let me the first to say I WISH YOU A PEACEFUL MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Your not going to ever be able to keep everyone happy. Do what makes you happy. I know Christmas is hectic around my house too. Kids got to go to 2 or 3 different places on Christmas Day, it is really dreaded around my house, I can't enjoy the day for running kids all over the country. This year I decided to stay at home on Christmas Day, if anyone wants to see me they will know where I will be, at home finally getting to enjoy the day. And if they want kids to come to their house, they can come get them!!!

many years decrease back, I study an editorial about putting blue lights fixtures in a candelabra interior the window, it became meant to favor hearth warring parties and police a merry Christmas, a rememberance if you serve.. No, a Jewish kinfolk does no longer use Christmas some thing. The friends have blue icicle lights fixtures alongside their roof line, they don't look to be Jewish, and those in the approach the line have candles interior the abode windows that are blue, similar situation, Christian, no longer Jewish. quite some Jewish human beings opt for no longer to promote that truth to the international, highly at Christmas, it ought to encourage a hate crime. Others positioned a menorah interior the window. to each and each and every his/her own.

Stick to your plan. If they want to come see you they will. If not, call them up, wish them a merry Christmas and enjoy your family.
