Between work, school, extracurricular activities, and life, there is no other day that belongs to only me and my kids. I want Christmas.
I don’t want to feel like I have to get dressed. I don’t want to make dishes that I have to transport in the car. I want to do our own thing.
That means pajamas all day, snacks all day — I don’t want to prepare a big meal, either — and lots of naps. That’s why I’ve made it an “only us” day. My children know this is how we are going to spend our holiday, and they look forward to it. I think a big piece of them getting on board with a ‘“just us” holiday is because they noticed how much happier I am.
If someone wants to stop by, they have the other 364 days of the year to do that. I never feel like we are missing out if the rest of the family gets together. Instead, I feel like we are gaining a lot.
