I thought Christmas was going to be so great this year because of LO but I have to admit I'm just not feeling it this year. Having a newborn is hard work and all your focus is on them so it's completely different than when you get to focus on everything Christmas. Im sure next year will be different since she will be older and can enjoy it.
@Ladybug2821 agreed. It's such a different holiday dynamic when LO is still so small and unaware. For DS1's for Christmas he was 9 months so we thought he would be so into everything and he literally played with empty toy boxes. I speak entirely for myself when I say, I have the propensity to build things up in my head and then when they don't live up to my expectations I'm so bummed. Christmas is so different this year for us too... My MIL was recently diagnosed with cancer and is awaiting the start of chemo and my H is working nonstop so we barely see each other. I love the holidays, but they always tend to be so hard emotionally for us around here. Hope you and yours has a good holiday weekend. Hugs.
