The biggest thing about that changes about Christmas once you are a parent is expectation. I put all of the expectations on myself now. Before, I had expectations that my parents or my wife or my friends would help me have a good time. You know, make my Christmas a blast. Now my sole expectation is that I do everything reasonable (even a little unreasonable) to make the holidays fun for my children. I’d give up every present that I ever was given for one good morning under the tree with my son and daughter.
