    I just can’t get into the holiday spirit. All the things I love/loved about Christmas are things I don’t enjoy as an adult. They are things I enjoyed as a child and would enjoy passing on to my own children. No matter how much I try, thinking of just my husband and me as a family doesn’t work. I almost feel like trying to get in the holiday spirit is more painful than not even trying.
