It's a tough time of the year for me. It feels like a tricky balancing act between the excitement of the children, helping them with setting up the Christmas tree, while deep down fighting the urge to go hide in a corner and feel sorry for myself. People asking me about my plans for the holidays, and all I can respond is "yeah, not much...". As an adult, I think I have always felt quite ambivalent towards Christmas, while for Angele it was one of the highlights of the year. S
