Christmas Day

Today was the big day.  After a month of prepping, Christmas finally happened.  It went well.  Santa was overly generous to my daughter.  So were her grandparents.  She had a great day overall.  One of the strange things since my divorce (or at least one thing I didn’t expect) is that I feel a lot of pressure to make holidays special for my daughter.  The pressure is stronger than when I was married.  So, I felt a great deal of relief when it was all said and done.  Now I’m exhausted.  It’s a good exhausted, though.  She’s already looking forward to next year.
