Wow that anti-Christmas behaviour thing is interesting. I know I struggled through Christmas last year, keeping the peace and H exploded on Stephen`s Day(Dec 26th).
This time round we passed trying to keep the marriage together though H is likely to be still living here over Christmas so survival strategies are a must here too.
I know its a double edged sword, but having a little family/other people around for a couple of hours fun might take the pressure off, though you`d have to be very careful of course that the visitors wouldn`t create more tension, so chose invites carefully.
I also intend baling out with the kids over the holiday season-short trips, games, visit neighbours anything not to be around for a brewing row.
And I`m going to minimize the preparations and fuss for the day itself.I will not be tired and stressed.
