Christmas/Advent traditions

What are some Christmastime traditions in your home/family? My baby is 9 months old. He's just starting to pay attention to books and crawl, so I don't expect him to be very into anything this year, but I'd like to start some things now that will be able to become annual traditions.

Input needed: MIL going through our stuff

Hello mommas! So, I’m in a predicament where I may have to rely on my MIL to watch our son for a couple days during the holidays since his school is closed but she has a brief history of going through our belongings while babysitting which has led to me no longer asking her to watch our son without us being home.

Venting, idk

So my husband used to be a sense of a safe space for me especially with my anxiety but lately I’m realizing over the past two years he might actually be more triggering to it. It’ll take me forever to go over every detail but long story short I’m not in a good place mentally. I’ve been turned off from him since our...

Would you be upset?

My sister is doing our Dad's birthday cake and having a wobbly because it's not perfect. She is getting angry at me, like putting her hand up in a stop motion at me, for trying to help and refusing to listen because I'm not SIL, who is a hobby baker.
