[quote=Anonymous]Find one thing that means Christmas to you and do that thing. I speak from experience. My mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 BC at Christmas when I was a teen. We were evicted at Christmas after my dad left us. My now X husband had first first major psychotic break at Christmas time before we'd been married a calendar year. I Was a newly divorced mom with two kids and 1.5 jobs when my part-time job's boss announced our Christmas bonus was the catered holiday party and oh, yeah, btw, all positions moving to Clarksburg or quit. Lastly, I was misdiagnosed with a minor ailment and almost died in front of my kids days later at Christmas. I should hate Christmas. Instead, I focus on the one thing I can control and let the rest wash away. Maybe you find your Christmas moment in Midnight Mass or caroling or tree-trimming, watching the Grinch or Peanuts, or cookie-baking. Pick one. Do it mindfully. Savor. [/quote]
