Christmas, the most depressing time of the year. Nothing but fighting from the wife and spending money that I don't have to spend.
Many years ago I made a deal with myself to remember what Christmas is all about - it got to be many people only thought of it as a time to spend money; I think of it as a time to renew friendships, be grateful for established friendships and family, enjoy pretty lights and ornaments, having time off... I know its hard to make the wife and daughter see the beauty in just making Christmas something better; but sit down, have the chat... I bet everyone will be relieved they don't have to get out and spend hard earned money...
I am so sorry Christmas was not a good time for you.
