Merry Christmas, Daily Strength!

Another year, another Christmas.  My son made a "Christmas resolution" to have a better attitude & behavior at Christmas time.  Whether it will happen, I don't know, but his intentions are excellent, which is a step in the right direction. I'm finding myself able to take an objective step back & see how my mom & sister try to goad me on or stir an argument out of me & so far, I've been able to veer off my normal reactions & not get caught in the trap. What bothers me , though, is that they're doing it in the 1st place.  It's not necessary.  Funny thing with my sister is that she never does it when we're one-on-one, just with other family members.  So she has some sort of point, but I don't know what.  Nor that it matters. Anyhow, it was a nice Christmas nontheless.  I had low expectations & ended up getting a netbook!  How about that?  So excuse any typos or spacing errors; I'm still getting used to the itty bitty keyboard!
