Hi!! I just wanted to tell you that it's okay that your relapsed - don't get too hard on yourself!! You made a mistake, you learned a lesson, you can fix it. Just look at WHY youd did it - what prompted this behaviour? And be aware of this next time that feelings occurs. Think of a plan to distract yourself when you feel like throwing up again.

And honestly, what kids want most for Christmas is love. Do things as a family, even building a snowman or going for hikes or driving around to look at lights or baking Christmas cookies and then watching Christmas movies on TV is so much fun. Material presents don't matter much in the long run. Teach your kids what's really important - love and family togetherness - and they won't care about have a stack of presents.

You can even make gifts - like little "gift certificates" that when cashed allow them to pick what to watch on TV or what movie to go see, or a coupon to get out of chores for a day :)
