Merry Christmas Pooja, and I hear ya! I am an empty nester, and I live far from my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. So the holidays can be "Meh." I try to make the best of it, tap into my "inner child," so to speak. I put up the tree Thanksgiving weekend and did "all the things." I had the Christmas music of my childhood on repeat. "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." always brings memories of my parents, long gone. So, today is the day but I'm already anxious to take all the decor down and begin a new year. Maybe next year, we'll go on a vacation. Hugs to you and yours.
I feel this so much. It’s been a lot. My kids are happy and I am so, deeply tired.
Sending some strength your way
