It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas because you have a hammer, a screwdriver, and a power drill next to the recliner in the living room. Once the gifts are opened, the assembly begins, and the process could drag on for five hours or so.
This may be a great tool to help your kids understand and cope with what is expected to be a very different and, quite possibly, difficult holiday season.
It might seem as though you are doing a thoughtful gesture, but for some family members grieving it may be the one thing that will put them over the edge.
With trick or treaters descending upon your lighted front porch, you might encounter a child carrying a different color plastic pumpkin. Noticing that difference could make a difference in a child's life.
