Thanks Barb, I had already offered for me and the kids to pick her up on Christmas Eve and keep some of our family traditions. I read my own post after I posted and it really does sound a lot harsher than I am. I was mostly miffed at assumption by her that she would have the kids at her place for Christmas (Eve and Day) after she had them for Thanksgiving and Christmas is my week to have them. I am unsure at times if I am being too much of a pushover and that's why I sought others opinions on how they were handling the Holidays. I confess I am a bit resolute after Thanksgiving. I appreciate your reply and I totally agree that the kids should be kept formost in any decision, and that is why I hope to keep at least our Christmas Eve traditions the same (kids with both parents).
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
