I also rely on sleep meds, and eggnog with a lot of brandy. I really would like to have a Martha Stewart Christmas and I tell myself some day when I am "well", I'll decorate my banisters with evergreen garlands and make my own wrapping paper
by using stamps and whatever else the hell she does. Until then, it takes all my effort just to get a tree up.
Still, there are a few things I do every Christmas, little rituals that add some meaning to the holiday. I always have to watch "A Christmas Carol" and I play music from Handel's Messiah and Mannheim Steamroller. I figure that maybe if I keep adding these little things every year, Christmas might turn out to be a happy event some day, instead of just an expensive occasion that calls for putting up with one's relatives.
