Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my Friends and Family!

...and if your oldest daughters go through the closet, find your baby's gift from Santa, pull it out of the box and put it together so they can play with it - don't put your head down and cry tears of frustration! All is not lost.

Take a deep breath and let them know that what they did was wrong - no yelling - even if that's what you really want to do. Explain that Santa had sent you an email asking you to wrap a few gifts for him to help him out. Explain that Santa had sent his gifts via UPS and that explains the big brown boxes in the garage. We all need to do our part to help Santa out!

Best of all, remind yourself that it's about family - not the presents and not about Santa. Put on an apron and get your kids to help you bake a birthday cake. A birthday cake for the guy who saved us from ourselves.

love,
Monica
