Ayé, the dreaded moment arrives. Xmas. Which means races, cavalcades, people everywhere. We’re going to be busy all the time. Review Tata. His mother-in-law and the kids from all over the world are going to land… in short, it will do all that a lot. Organization, anticipation and noise. Here, you will have understood it, I am one of those who (ohlala) do not like parties! The thing that keeps a little optimism (and my smile) is the eyes of the youngest when they open their gifts by the thousands. Because yes Christmas is supposed to be THE children’s party! So no more gifts for each person and, if we have done it well, we must be able to alternate the location of New Year’s Eve from one year to the next.
zvakanaka, You’re probably going to think it’s wrong not to like the “magic” of Christmas, so here are 10 (good) reasons to make an effort:
1- Tell yourself that we are going to see cousin Julie again. The one who never phones (but never) during the year. She will meet the youngest. “Yes, he grew up, say so”. Finally, she is quite nice …
2- Receive 10 texts from your mother to organize New Year’s Eve. Respond to D-3 this year (and not D-1) to know if it is necessary “all the same” to bring something …
3- To avoid doing like everyone else, convince his darling to leave with the loupiots in the sun for a Christmas in the tropics 🙂
4- Make lists of gifts. Buy toddlers’ toys on the Internet. Apologize to the grown-ups, but ” Christmas has become a commercial celebration, we buy anything and everything, it ends on eBay "...
5- Tell yourself that you will still have to lie to your children. Santa ? ” Yes, yes, honey, he will come straight from Lapland just for you and bring all the gifts you asked for "...
6- Remember to remove the batteries in the gifts that make a terrible noise. At least the first ten days. Put them back when we head back to the office …
7- Stay late at the office on the 24th and arrive just in time for the aperitif… Oup’s 🙂
8- Make up a New Year’s Eve with friends. Since we got divorced, we explain to our parents that “The children will be with their father, mom, don’t worry, I’m busy on the 24th”. And in the evening, run a bath, light candles and go to bed with a great book. The top 🙂
9- Explain that we are on a diet, that Paul is gluten intolerant and that Sarah eats vegan. “Yes, for sure, Christmas is complicated… otherwise we just come to taste it on the 25th? »
10 Look at her little ones. To look at oneself in the mirror. Swallow all the phony excuses listed above. Put them aside. Take courage in both hands and announce to his mother: “I thought about it, this year has been one of the most horrible and depressing ever, so here it is, it’s decided, everyone comes to wake up at the house. ! And we will party as it should! “
