I'm tired of getting together with people 'because it's christmas' NOT because 'I particularly want to be there'. I'm tired of sending Xmas cards to people 'simply because they sent one to US.'

Abbey Normal said:I know what you mean, Bonnie. We women run around trying to make everything perfect, and end up exhausted and, in my case, with headaches.
Things that help me get into the season: I am reading a book about the origins of our most well-known Christmas carols, we've been to a sing-along, and tonight is our daughter's Christmas concert at school.
Have you ever been to Longwood Gardens at Christmas time? They have acres of lighted trees outdoors in every color there is, plus poinsettias everywhere indoors. Try to take some time and go. You deserve it!
Kathianne said:My holiday spirits are flagging also. My dad went into the hospital around 1:30 a.m. Monday, still there. We had to call 911. It didn't look all that serious, but now looking moreso.
I'm supposed to have Christmas here. Got the carpets cleaned, kids have put up tree and lights. Cleaning is getting done. Oh yea, I still need to get to the stores.
Well I'm going to put on some Christmas music and see if that helps.
Bonnie said:What's going on with your Dad??![]()
Kathianne..My dad is the world's worst patient-hell he's not even a good visitor in the hospital. Not a happy camper. So I'm trying to figure out how to not fall apart, so I can get things done. And visit him and talk to the docs and call the relatives. Oh yeah, I think I'm buying cookies at the bakery!It's been a hell of a few years and at Christmas...
Bonnie said:I don't blame him I hate hospitals. Boy you have your hands full, Id say buying the cookies is a good idea.
I hope it all turns out okay for him. And hopefully he will be out before Christmas.
Kathianne said:I sure hope so too! Thanks for the good thoughts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (No matter what, I'll get to midnight Mass! (What time does that start?)
Bonnie said:Where is Longwood Gardens?? That sounds like just what I need.
