I love this piece, and I'm so glad C+C is re-sharing it! I remember desperately needing to read these words when I first read it, and I'm thankful to say I've chilled out a lot about Christmas since then. I especially love the sentiment about your mom: "She seems to be proud of the way her and my dad managed to create Christmas magic, no matter the circumstances."
