That's crappy, but on the other hand, it's just WAS typical behavior...looking for justification.

With that said, over the years, I've had a pretty "blah" reaction to xmas gifts. I think I was focused on the receiving rather than the giving, and it definitely showed. This year, I tried to do a 180 and react positively to everything, and really focus on others. W noticed, and even said that she felt bad because I had gotten her so much and she hadn't returned the favor. I was really happy she liked her gifts and could really care less what I got or didn't get.

Happy Christmas....enjoy it. Bask in the glow of your children's happiness and wonder. It really is a magical thing.
