YES! You most certainly should ask for Christmas Day. Cinders, Real Journey has your h pegged. He's manipulating in a very nice way, but you don't always have to do what he suggested. You need to think about what you want and what you want to share w/your children, just as he does. Nothing says you have to give in to all of his nicely put "demands". Cinders, start thinking about what you want and do not worry about whether or not this will affect the way he thinks about you.
It's time for Cinders and what she wants out of life.
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.
