YES! It's a money thing! He knows after Thanksgiving that Christmas is coming, and even after Christmas he has to figure out how to pay for everything!
I just give him some eggnog and tell him to get over it!

I have to disagree with the doc. Many parents think they are doing the right thing even though it may not be. Unless your mom knew from previous experience that you were allergic to penicillin, her wanting you to take it for strep throat is completely reasonable (as it is an antibiotic). It is unfortunate that you went through this traumatic and life threatening situation, but I don't think your mom was intentionally trying to kill you. That is a serious accusation and unless the doc had good reason to believe your mother had malice intent, he should never have said that to you. Personally I think the doc has an ax to grind here, and he is wrong. Most parents would trust a prescription to be OK, and wouldn't associate the reaction to the meds. Usually people have to see a pattern before recognizing the root problem. There was no pattern as your reaction was violent and immediate, one could have easily assumed the reaction had to do with the preexisting illness, not the meds. As for your younger sister, that is an entirely seperate issue. It doesn't sound to me like your mom wishes harm or death on her. If your mom wants her at your house, and that is what your sister wants as well, so long as you're in agreement, take her in. Probably best as her dad doesn't want her around, and that isn't a healthy environment.

I'm not married, but I recommend a book to you: Unplug the Christmas Machine. One chapter, "Men: the Christmas Stagehands", says that men's cherished Christmas traditions from childhood get ignored because their wives carry on their own family traditions instead. It also says a lot more about men being unsatisfied with Christmas and how to remedy that.

Yes, but so do i. Winter blues, and stress of the holidays. We have to see each others families a lot. It is really cold outside, and there is less sunlight. And we don't have enough money to get Everyone gifts. We are both in a grumpy state.

I absolutely do. I wish the holidays were more relaxing without the hustle and bustle. I never know what to get anybody and I talk about that all the time. My husband gets tired of hearing it.

Many people seem to get depressed or anxious when we start getting closer to the shortest day of the year (December 21 or so). I think its lack of daylight that makes an existing anxiety/serotonin deficiency problem worse. Zoloft worked wonders for me!

Yes b/c he hates spending the money for Christmas gifts.
I have to give him a little extra love in January esp. when the bills start rolling in, just to keep him from going into convulsions. LOL!
Merry Christmas!!
