Chaos at Christmas?

Laxmom – cut yourself a lot of slack. There’d be something seriously wrong if you were all “happy happy joy joy” given what your DIL is facing. If you like, I bet a local high school student would be thrilled to wrap all your gifts for $20, and probably would set up a tree too.

But I suspect that your family will understand entirely if you don’t even want to go that far. There are far worse things than ordering Christmas dinner to be premade at a grocery store or restaurant.

I hope your DILs treatment goes well, and I’m glad she’s got a MIL like you who worries about her.
