Dealing with the holidays 2

[beckyb]

Hanukkah is here. Christmas activities are in full swing. How are you coping? What is your plan for getting through?

I am going back to recovery basics until the new year. Get out of bed, make myself look decent, go to work, eat healthy, get exercise. Try not to be super crabby.

I have decorated my house a little. Didn't go all out but put out some of my most special decorations. I have been a collector of all things Christmas for years so I have a lot to choose from.

I am have a Christmas tea party next week and doing a couple of other things. I not really into it but for me it's better than ignoring the holiday.

I am dreading Christmas morning most of all. I always only H and me opening our gifts and lounging around. This year I'm going to my mom's but no gifts to open. My mom is paying for a trip for my sisters and me as our gift.
