A, I think it's a wonderful holiday idea that your daughter and BF have planned. It's a new tradition and they wanted both families to be involved. If your d13 will go along w/it, I think it will be a beautiful Christmas with your family and his.
It sounds like you've got a good handle on the Open House invitations. I'm confident that they will be beautiful as they always are. You are a very gifted lady who has style in class no matter what is thrown at you.
I suspect your holiday this year will be different, but also fun w/many memories to cherish in the years to come.
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.
