for you to be able to let go of this:

I wish just once that i could go to a family Christmas function NOT feeling like I was lacking something. Like I wasn't just the one doing the 'taking' and that i had something better to give than a cheap $10 thingy so my sister doesn't think I am too ungrateful... I dunno, Christmas always makes me feel poorer. (my mom is always being really generous and my sister is pretty financially set too, so I end up being the 'odd man out' at christmas..or so it feels.)

(I'm trying to be helpful here. Hope it comes off that way.)

Can you identify what's really at the bottom of all that, if there are any deeper layers, and release it/them? OR, a technique I've had wonderful results with is simply to hand it all over to my Higher Self for "resolution." Any fear, anxiety, and other negative emotions I'm able to identify.

OR, is there something else that could happen or you could do to supplant those feelings or avoid feeling like that in the future?
