How Was Your Christmas?

Ours was quiet.
Our oldest daugher, son in law and the grandkids came over, as well as some close friends, and we enjoyed a pretty quiet afternoon of just being together, talking and eating. Like so many things seem to be lately it was uneventful and calm, not something I am real used to.
I am working on being more even, less intense and more mature about things. I am not sure I like it but it does have its advantages I suppose. I didn’t get stressed about the food or forgetting an ornament for one of the kids, I didn’t call myself stupid at all and I didn’t take it personally when our 8 year old ran out of the room crying because he decided he liked his older brother’s bioncles better than the ones he got.
I was controlled, mature, and level headed.
That is a big step for me.
Now, the girl in the following video should learn a lesson from me..

OMG
The guy needs to learn a lesson or two as well.
“…8 year old ran out of the room crying because he decided he liked his older brother’s bioncles better than the ones he got.”
Same scene here. Was it a row over the Barraki Bionicle?
Christmas was actually great this year. My oldest son, who just turned 7 on NY’s Day is just at the right age where things are magical. Won’t last, so I’m taking it all in.
I think it was over the bionicle ship that was a special offer from Target?
