Christmas is becoming a burden….what should I do?

Cristmas is the 12nd time like this: stressful and nerve racking! My whole family is screaming at each other, yelling, being stubborn, and nervous. We can’t get a long! It’s been a week and with hte ice storm and cleaning the lawn, baking cookies, getting presents, setting up the tree, cleaning the house, perparing plans for the new year, cooking Christmas dinner and all the holidday buzz it is just getting unbearable!

Everyone in my family now views Chrismas as the biggest obstacle of the year adn I don’t want it to be like that. The problem is, if one person sees it this way we all do. How should make it more fun and pleasurable for everyone???? I mean this year we got a teeny tiny tree and put maybe 20 ornaments on it all together just ofr the sake of having a tree. And we ididn’t even decorate it all together. Just me and my sister.

I don’t knolw what to do??? Any ideas?

How soon and for how long do you leave Hanukkah decor out?

I’d like to put out my wintery-themed Hanukkah decorations right after Thanksgiving (USA) and take it all down after New Year’s Day or maybe longer. My child is preschool aged and loves the festivity.
What is YOUR time limit for Hanukkah decorations and how much decorating do you do?
How much of your decorating isn’t strictly hanukkah-themed (pine boughs/swags/wreaths, snowmen, snowflakes, cut-out cookies)?
