<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Normally they don&#39;t stress me out all that much. This year was different as I am away from family. I keep in touch usually almost daily, so that helps. Watching Christmas movies helps as well <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="768589" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/768589-sp5-mark-kuzinski">SP5 Mark Kuzinski</a>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The children are grown and it&#39;s their turn to make the holidays for me

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Holidays are stressful for everyone at some level. I had one of the most magical christmas&#39; this year. I received a lovely bouquet of flowers from a Veteran, I made it a layed back day for the kids and the best was when my son&#39;s girlfriend said at dinner, &quot;Wow, I never knew how peaceful Christmas could be, this is wonderful.&quot; So to answer your question Mark, It is all up to you to show them the way.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just relax and go with the flow. If you are stressed out your expectations are unrealistic.
