Although cooking is stressful and so are some family members, I love celebrating the birth of Christ and remembering the true meaning of this season.

If by holiday you mean Christmas, I get excited. Question should be worded better. I have never known anyone to celebrate just a holiday, each have have a name and time of year.

Family issues! All holidays are at my husband's mother's house and our grown children and small grandchildren are all expected to attend. Daughter is not coming. Husband is beyond himself...

While I still have some childlike enthusiasm about the holidays, the stressors of being an adult seems to bring slightly more dread than the childlike enthusiasm.

5 years ago my two youngest grandsons (3 years old and 21 months old) were murdered by their father who went on local news and blamed my daughter. Needless to say not very good memories for this time.

I think Christmas has become fraught with expectations of perfect gift-giving and decorating, in neither of which I excell. Plus my mom and my first husband passed on at christmastime. Sad memories.

I was raised by a super abusive person who did not believe in Christmas, people give to each other, not Jesus Christ. Christmas is too commercialized and people's expectations have become selfish.
