Hi I totally understand the feeling of wanting to give up Christmas. My husband has IPF & has had it for 5 years now. Every Christmas I try really hard to make it extra  special incase it ours last. As I have to do more and more around the house and caring for my husband, last Christmas I felt I over did it. I was very tired and grumpy because i took too much on. On reflection & reading the other comments on this forum I think it’s best to still celebrate Christmas & to decorate but perhaps as suggested ask for help & scale down “Christmas”. I will certainly be trying to do that this year. To say “no” a bit more and not be “superwoman”. It is difficult not to get caught up in all the excitement. That is my intention anyway, the reality may be different! (I love Christmas).
