Many Parents prefer to stay at home, not invite the Family, pretend that Christmas is not here.

They don't understand why children won't eat certain foods or don't enjoy gifts in the same way as other toddlers. Such behavior also causes many Parents to lock themselves inside four walls, spending Christmas in a small group, rather than exposing themselves to the judgment of others.
