I agree, It's not just another day. With all the things that go wrong for us, the magic of the season is somehow still there. It's a gift for those who can feel the magic. Thank you for the heartwarming read. ♥️
That birthday scenario is too good and too real! Resentment and anger, matched with a celebration that ended up being for you both. I love these stories, which take relationships into reality!
A resounding heck yeah to all of this. It feels good to identify with what you wrote here, Lane. And I am ALL IN for the balanced and nuanced approach here; yes, it is a glass case of emotion *and* it is often one person in the family unit striving to make it all feel festive and breaking down under that pressure at times, AND I need the fun and joy and anticipation. Thank you for portraying that middle ground.
All true! This break I decided, once the kids were home, to do absolutely no work and it was really nice to just have one job for a minute. Now I'm planning out this article that's due March 1st and I'm like, I really should have been doing some reading for it over the break! Sigh.
I love this Lane!
Agreed, and thank you for reading!
