Christmas Stress

For: Holidays

I am a kind of person who is goal oriented, determine and strong. Raising two boys on your own makes you the kind of person. I believe you have to be since two young lives are depending on you. Perhaps this orientation has to be given credit to my parents who brought me with their strong Christian values. Had it not been for them, I myself might have been torn apart the day I lost my husband, left with two young boys. Somehow you have to make right choices to go through the tough reality of life. And Christmas season is one of those tough things you need to go through in life considering I juggle work and parenting. It is a tall thing to do. Really, Christmas makes you pull a lot of strings to be with your boys at the same time still keep your job. As a nurse, I have work shift that requires some sacrifices in the family. There is this school program that I would miss attending, or some family dinner. But one thing I made sure, I have to be with my children during Christmas. I don’t want them to suffer Christmas blues. I have to make prearrangement at work to get few days off. It is difficult to make some bargain to be able to get the arrangement. Despite it, I would not allow Christmas stress to get into me. It is hard to be affected by it especially I have two boys who one way or another might be affected by it too. I have to be positive in life to spare my kids from the consequences of my decisions.
