    A good outlook on life and general love of holidays get me through. No stress here.

    I can't get into Christmas this year. It's really sad as Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I'm angry and stressed and just can't seem to shake it. No amount of Christmas music or tree decorating or parties is making me feel better. Sucks.

    This kind of for me as well. Except I'm not angry I get more sad than anything. I hate to be negative though. So this also helps.

    Listening to classical music/podcasts, exercise, playing games, cleaning, having a plan, not doing things with toxic people, spending time with dh and dd, having fairly low expectations.
    My mom died just after Christmas a few years ago. Christmas just has not been as fun or happy since. I just get through it.

    I love the holiday season...December 11 is always a rough day as it is the anniversary of my dad passing three years ago now...but other than that, I love December and experiencing the magic of Christmas through my 4 & 6 y.o.'s eyes...
