I've been feeling this way after just having my 3rd child. I'm in a bit of a funk and wasn't finding joy in certain festive activities. I forget that I HAVE A CHOICE in what I participate in. Maybe I need to add "PJ Day" to our list of Christmas fun so I can enjoy myself too! .-= Intentionally Katie´s last blog post ..<a href="http://intentionallykatie.blogspot.com/2009/12/easily-overwhelmed.html" rel="nofollow">Easily Overwhelmed</a> =-.

I just realized while reading this that I have always viewed these things as a sort of performance, not a celebration. I will remind myself, when I am needing an attitude adjustment myself, that it is in fact for celebration!! Thanks again! Thanks for sharing!!

Your sentiments here really strike a chord and should be applied to everything in life: "All of these Christmas things are optional. They are self-imposed, and I am doing them because I want to. If I can’t be happy about them, then I’m not going to do them" How eloquent. I live my life everyday like this...some people don't understand, but living the life you choose, on your terms is a good starting point for a happy life. Thank you for the fresh outlook. .-= simply stephen´s last blog post ..<a href="http://www.simplystephen.ca/green/impact-of-disposable-paper-products-on-the-environment/" rel="nofollow">impact of disposable paper products on the environment</a> =-. Rachel,

What a wonderful posting. Your sentiments here really strike a chord and should be applied to everything in life:

“All of these Christmas things are optional. They are self-imposed, and I am doing them because I want to. If I can’t be happy about them, then I’m not going to do them”

How eloquent. I live my life everyday like this…some people don’t understand, but living the life you choose, on your terms is a good starting point for a happy life. Thank you for the fresh outlook.
