vdanskI could write a book on this subject, but I wanted to share a children's book that is perfect for this time of year.
"The Night Before the Night Before Christmas" by Natasha Wing is a marvelous little book that has the twin virtues of being entertaining to the adult reading it out loud, and of making said adult feel measurably more in control of life by comparison with the hapless family it depicts.
It begins:
" 'Twas the night before the night before Christmas,
with too much to do.
Our tree wasn't up yet,
and Mom had the flu."
If you have small children, buy it. If anyone you like has small children, buy it for them. Most of us need all the help that we can get....
