[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I’m the only one in my immediate family that loves Christmas. I get the tree, decorate, cook seasonal foods, bake cookies and cakes, buy well thought out gifts, wrap them, play Christmas music, etc. I have older teens and a DH at home. No one does anything or even comments on the decorations or foods. I want to watch a Christmas movie with them but afraid to be mocked. Every year, I get presents where they evidently ran to CVS or the mall to buy the first thing they saw. I never say anything but pretend to be happy.[/quote]

Why do you never say anything? Get over the fear  of being mocked. You need to speak up. They may not be comfortable with it but you need to model this for your kids. People need to learn to address things. Your feelings matter and they aren't something silly.[/quote]

+1. Excellent response.[/quote]

Yes, let's all share in your joy of fake stories and materialism and forced family time.  HO HO HO!  HAPPY HOLIDAYS! [/quote]
