Your son knows the true meaning of Christmas and you have every right to be proud of him because you taught him. This has been a tough year for a lot of people. I hope this coming year is better for you. Connies last blog post..Regeneration Anti-Aging Organic Whole Food Bars Review

I can completely relate to what you said about stress and tension making it harder to enjoy Christmas this year. Unfortunately, my husband and I were going through the same thing. I decorated at the last minute, normally I cover every surface of the house with my Snowman figures, but this year I only put out a few. And we took the tree down on New Year’s Day.

I read the NJ Moms post, that was very sweet about your son. My oldest had also told me he understood if “Santa” couldn’t bring as many gifts this year (he knows the truth about Santa of course). All he asked for is a few CDs. Thanks to Amazon credit I earned from Mom Central, I was able to buy him 3 CDs and a book, and he was thrilled. Even in years when money is tight, we still want to give them that big gift that will make that Christmas memorable!

Here’s hoping for a MUCH less stressful 2009 so we and our families can have a much happier Christmas this year!

It happened to me too – that I was pretty low and my kids reminded me of how precious life can be – no matter how bad my circumstances/reality looked like at the time…

I usually have a live tree, over-decorated with ornaments collected over the last thirty years. I didn't have a tree this year, didn't shop for gifts, didn't do any decorating at all. Trying to pack my home up for a move while also repairing and fixing up so it will sell well left me too tired and stressed to go whole hog for th eholidya. Ya know what? it was a fine Christmas anyway. Life is what we make it. skeets last blog post..Seemd like a good idea at the time
