All I want for Xmas is...for it to hurry up and be over.

I know, I sound like the mean Mum who hates Xmas. I don't hate it but I do feel relaxed when it's over. It is expensive with four children, large families, siblings, in laws and step families plus its a celebration of something that means nothing to me. I could bar it all but I don't think the kids would like that at all. I could limit who we buy presents for but we usually receive presents from everyone and I feel slack if we don't give something in return. However I do enjoy finding the perfect present for loved ones...and to be honest...I enjoy receiving quirky little gifts too....I also like catching up with family...So I guess I enjoy Xmas...just a little bit.

I'm already thinking of things I want to see happen in my new year......and one of them is to simply spend time with people that matter... and less time with the people who dont.
