I feel you. Parenthood is not my natural state. Holidays are often difficult. It's made worse because my wife has some chronic issues and periodically, like last Thursday, requires surgical attention. I have to keep things together so she can rest and recover. Having a kid has changed all of my plans for the foreseeable future and sometimes it stings. My wife is worth all of it though and that's how I keep it together (as much as I'm actually able to).
