::christmas survival::
Notes to self from this year :
1. Always have a few spare generic non-gender specific gifts to give to those I don't think are going to give gifts to us. I hate it when that happens.
2. Have shopping done before Thanksgiving. Have shopping done before Thanksgiving. Have shopping done before Thanksgiving. Have shopping done before Thanksgiving.
3. Do make the effort. For the children. Christmas is an ideal background for memories.
4. Give to someone who can't give back. Just to be giving. Enjoy.
5. Don't go nutty on extra special recipes for the holidays. Build on traditions rather than trying to make it perfect. It's more important that my family has a present and pleasant mom rather than one who is bouncing off the walls with nervous tension. Good way to spoil a beautiful day. Guilty.
6. Remember the whole point of it all.
