Kinda hard for me during the hoildays. All my blood family is gone. I kinda wish I had those days back so I could spend time with them once again. Got a great family, lots of them, on my wifes side, but its not the same as hanging with foks youve knowen all your life..
Also I dont buy too much into the commercial aspect, kids need more than toys and the other crap they get, theres pressure to give this time of year unnessary junk and spend a ton of dough at once when its better off to give what you can something really useful all year along which does not have to be material things
