It is even harder to get into it this year. We've never had much money, but when the kids were younger, it wasn't hard to get excited, because they were excited. Now we have even less than before and it is a struggle even without having to think of a way to deliver Santa Claus.
I know the answer is to make Christmas about what it truly means. I have done that, but that is hard when sharing your Catholic home with an atheist. These are the times that the differences show and it is hard. And he shuts down because the materialistic side of Christmas cannot be delivered. But as a result, he is missing out on so much. SO, as usual, I am going to buck up, put on a smile and be there for my kids. Alone.
