i push myself to put up a small tree and decorate it.
play a christmas cd
make cookies for dh workplace
send xmas ecards to family.
and then just stay out of the way until it is all over and done.
fortunately my grandchildren's other grandparents are very holiday oriented and make a big todo about the holidays.
dh has big celebration at his work with gift exchange and food and stuff so he gets taken care of there.
I just hibernate until it is all over.
I come out of the woodwork Jan. 11.
That's what I do and that's an improvement over years past, although I did make Christmas very festive and busy when my children were young and still at home. I pretended to enjoy it all for them. Now I don't have to pretend.
Geez. I sound depressed. go figure. just writing about it makes me tired.
