My 10 yr old is still a firm Santa believer and still has that innocence that is not going to last much longer as she grows....
I don't hate Christmas or anything but I just want it all to be over! It's just so m7xh more painful having to do these things and people mistake my dread for Bah Humbuggery! It's been 3yrs and people still don't seem to grasp how much doing what seems to be trivial things cand end up hurting me!!
Sigh.......so frustrating!
