You are so welcome! It’s SO hard to say no! We WANT to do all the things but itβ€˜s just not reasonable.

Oh thank goodness for this and you. It’s also my first Christmas post recent diagnosis. I’ve never felt so delighted to let go of so many aspects about this season that I just do NOT like, enjoy or understand. And to know that I’m not the only one who struggles big time with Christmas cards!!
