Where is your family? If you weren't planning on a gift then don't!may I suggest you assist the girls with a homemade gift for their dad? This way it is more a gift from the girls and is a great activity for you & the girls.
I don't know what your H does for a living but mine uses a clipboard all day.... I took pictures from numerous Disney trips & Cubs games and used Modge Podge (can find at any craft store) to make him a wonderfully decorated clipboard. He LOVES it and tells me all the time he gets compliments & people he works with ask what company he ordered it from. I wish I could post a picture of it here.

I'm from France. That is a good idea about the presents to be made by the kids, though I will feel bad as he gave a bit of money. On the other hand he could have done an activity with the kids and given it to me.
I have already done a collage with kids' photos for his 35th birthday. I'll ask the kids what they want to do as it's their father and if they want to buy something for him then so be it. Usually I orientate their choice but this time I'll let them decide so ex will see that there is no input from me.
Just wanted to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas. I hope we all go through this period as smoothly as we can, but mainly that we enjoy our time with the Ines we love (family and kids).

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Thank you very much everyone for your best wishes. I had a great Christmas back home with my siblings. It was so much relaxed since I'm no longer with H and I was back to my old self.
Got to meet my new nephew (H's side) and chatted with SIL. She mentioned something about us being in financial difficulty with my old house (so maybe H is realising that as I never mentioned to her how hard it was). Then she reckons that us splitting up as pushed H to become a father as she added that he now he has no choice than to be a father as before he had me to look after the kids. It did slightly hurt as I knew he could be a good dad, unfortunately it isn't meant to be with us as a couple. SIL told me that she hasn't met OW and as no intention as she doesn't agree with it! Funny to say this when she did the same to her own H. Any how it was nice to hear that.
For whatever reasons H rang on Xmas eve ( he didn't do it last year), and it made me wobbled because I wasn't expecting it!
Shotgun so pleased that you posted and I would really like to hear how you are getting on. I do miss not hearing from you. Hope your boy is ok and you had a good Christmas and that you carry on taking care of your health.
