I have been sat a my pc for the last half hour half listening to a full scale battle going on in one of the houses behind me - Mum clearly having a bad morning - just heard an almighty crash in the garden, ran upstairs and looked out the window - Christmas tree full of decorations, lights etc been thrown out of the patio doors and upended in the garden. Although for many Christmas is a happy time, sometimes for a number of reasons it is a major cause of stress and worry to others and I really do feel for these people! I know myself when the children were small I had a massive sulk over something I cant even remember now and refused to get out of bed all day, left my husband to do the lot - felt dreadful about it next day and could never make it up to the children. The moral of this story is this if you feel yourself starting to lose it - count to ten or a hundred and ten, go for a walk or just shut yourself away from whatever is and don't go back until you are able to deal with whatever has upset you.
This poor woman over the back here is going to feel awful in an hour or so!
