One Christmas when my godson was 4, I had the brilliant idea that I would make a gingerbread house to decorate together on Christmas Eve. Oh what fun we’d have sticking on brightly colored candy bits with white icing! How clever I was to come up with a unique crafty type of gift rather than a regular old toy! What wonderful memories we would create together! I would be the best godmother ever! Yeah, it didn’t quite turn out that way.

I have a love-hate relationship with the holidays. On one hand, I love getting together with friends and family, sharing food and laughs, old and new traditions, seeing the ornaments from my childhood on the tree, wrestling for that last crab leg. On the other hand, I despise the stress I self-generate to get everything done. I blame Martha for setting unrealistic expectations we can never achieve without of staff of 50. (Where IS my staff by the way?)
