Christmas Day

Who else is struggling? My little one keeps running away from the gifts and doesn't want to open them right now. He's done a few and then was done and wandered off. I want to open them for him but that feels wrong

Thoughts about the Angel Tree drama

Answers are too long so I’ll put them here: 1. Gift giving is about the thought, not receiving exactly what you want. 2. Angel Tree gifts should be exactly what is listed, otherwise don’t donate.
