We didn't go home for the holidays, but it was nice enjoying quiet time with our small family. All of our presents arrived in time from family, and DH was off for the whole week! Unfortunately he wasn't feeling so great so he's been a bit moody. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-468014 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:23:53 +0000 autumnlove 468014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8! It was nice having DH around! He usually works around Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467995 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:14:47 +0000 prettylizy 467995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 maybe? So much love and generosity all over the place around here. There is a lot of togetherness which is a double edged sword, but I love it anyhow. I also love that DH has been home more since he has the week off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467976 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:06:36 +0000 Mrs. J 467976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An 8/9 we enjoyed our first Christmas in our new house, even if it was hectic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467968 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:59:11 +0000 chopsuey 467968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A 9!

I really can't complain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467958 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:51:42 +0000 mrs. bird 467958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a 3. we didn't do big gifts 'cause our budget wouldn't allow, DH worked christmas eve, christmas day, and will work new year's eve and new year's day. we weren't invited to christmas at my grandma's 'cause she hasn't spoken to me in 2 years as of christmas, we went to my uncle's for christmas eve &amp; he fell and cracked his skull open on some stone steps. it was nice to spend time with my parents &amp; brother though &amp; i had a few days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467946 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:41:36 +0000 mrbee 467946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: CONGRATS AGAIN!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467941 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:40:28 +0000 pinkcupcake 467941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it was around a 3. We were all so sick and miserable :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467303 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:20:30 +0000 Navy_Mommy 467303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like a 0 :-( My husband is deployed for the second Christmas (and Halloween, and Thanksgiving, and New Years, and Valentine's, and my birthday...) in a row. Since DS is too young (almost 9 months) to appreciate it yet it was just a total downer. I had to force myself to wrap even a few of his gifts knowing I would be the one unwrapping them on Christmas morning and my hubby wouldn't even be there to enjoy it with me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467278 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:16:51 +0000 singingbee 467278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a 5. I enjoyed it but I tried hard not to lose it thinking about what it was 'supposed' to be. DH did a good job keeping my spirits up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467243 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:09:56 +0000 Bao 467243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An 8 maybe? Great because it was LO's first Christmas, but not so great because my in-laws annoy me, and my siblings didn't come into town for Christmas this year, and that made me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467202 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:58:15 +0000 MaisyMay 467202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 - 9 1/2. LO was born on Christmas Eve and my mom was able to be done, so that was awesome. We even got to go home the day after Christmas. I am a little sore though, and LO isn't liking the BFing, so we're pumping and supplementing with formula. Altogether pretty awesome though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467199 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:56:51 +0000 mediagirl 467199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: sad! Big hugs!! </p> <p>It was a 6. It would have been better if M and I hadn't been sick. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467195 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:55:41 +0000 Rubies 467195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I agree about postpartum hardships.

I'm so happy she is here but birth/post partum was very scary and difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467175 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:51:21 +0000 Arden 467175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3. We couldn't afford to buy any big presents, which made me feel bad. Plus there were no kids around, and my parents couldn't come to the USA this year. And DH got an ear infection... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-a-scale-of-1-to-10-how-great-was-this-holiday-season#post-467165 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:49:26 +0000 Rubies 467165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A total downer here, but my holiday season has been a 1. My husband has been away for a week and will be gone for one more so I've been mopey and sad. BUT! On the bright side, I've been spending a LOT of time with LO with daycare being closed so it's not all bad!</p> <p>You? </p>
